Made from tough, impact-resistant material, this bumper is built to take a beating so your RC car doesn't have to.
RC car enthusiasts in the UK consistently choose RPM protective accessories because they understand that prevention is far cheaper than repair.

Key Features
- Purpose-built for Traxxas 1/16 Mini E-Revo — This rear bumper is specifically engineered to fit the Traxxas 1/16 Mini E-Revo platform with precision fitment, ensuring that it aligns perfectly with the vehicle's existing mounting points and maintains the correct geometry of the rear suspension and drivetrain.
- Impact-resistant material construction — Manufactured from tough, durable material that absorbs shock loads from collisions, jumps, and rough terrain encounters, protecting expensive components like the gearbox, motor mount, and suspension linkages from damage that could sideline your RC experience.
- Protective barrier design — The bumper is strategically shaped to intercept impacts to the rear chassis area, acting as a sacrificial component that takes the hit first, leaving the critical mechanical and electronic components of your Mini E-Revo unscathed.
- Easy bolt-on installation — This rear bumper installs quickly and easily using existing mounting points on your vehicle, requiring no permanent modifications, drilling, or cutting, which means you can swap it out or remove it whenever you need to.
- Aesthetically matched black finish — The black colour scheme matches the standard Traxxas colour palette, maintaining the professional appearance of your Mini E-Revo whilst providing the practical protection you need for serious bashing sessions.
- Proven RPM quality and durability — RPM has built a reputation amongst RC enthusiasts worldwide for creating protective components that actually work, withstanding repeated impacts and lasting through countless hours of aggressive driving and jumping.
Technical Performance
This rear bumper exemplifies the engineering philosophy that underpins all RPM protective accessories: absorb impact energy effectively without adding excessive weight or compromising vehicle handling characteristics. The bumper is engineered to mount securely to the Traxxas 1/16 Mini E-Revo's rear chassis using factory-standard fastening points, ensuring rock-solid stability throughout even the most aggressive driving scenarios. The material selection is critical—RPM's proprietary formulation provides excellent impact resistance whilst remaining flexible enough to absorb shock loads rather than transmitting them directly to the chassis. This is particularly important for 1/16 scale RC vehicles where component tolerances are tighter and damping systems are smaller. The bumper's design geometry directs impact forces away from critical areas such as the motor mounting bracket, transmission housing, and electronic components, distributing loads across a wider surface area to prevent point-load failures. Installation requires no modification to the vehicle's original structure, making this a truly non-invasive upgrade that can be removed or replaced without affecting warranty coverage or vehicle integrity. For UK-based RC car enthusiasts running brushless 1/16 scale models, this bumper represents exceptional value when you consider the cost of repairing a damaged transmission or bent chassis compared to the modest investment in protective accessories. The black finish is durable and resistant to dirt and grime accumulation, maintaining its appearance through muddy off-road adventures and backyard bashing sessions.
