Overview
The RPM Rear Bumper for Traxxas Slash 2WD in pink is a premium aftermarket upgrade that transforms the durability and appearance of your RC short course truck. If you own a Traxxas Slash and want genuine protection against rear impacts whilst maintaining that lightweight, high-performance edge, this is the replacement part you've been waiting for. RPM doesn't simply manufacture replacement parts — they engineer solutions that surpass the original equipment, and this rear bumper is a perfect example of that philosophy in action.
Designed specifically for the Traxxas Slash 2WD (both standard and LCG chassis versions), this bumper addresses a real gap in the market. After releasing their front bumper, RPM received countless customer requests for a matching rear solution, and the result is nothing short of impressive. Based on real-world full-sized Short Course and Baja-style rear bumpers, the scale version maintains that authentic, wide and flat profile that delivers ultimate rear-end protection for your RC car UK hobby. Whether you're a weekend basher enjoying casual backyard sessions or a dedicated enthusiast pushing your Slash to its limits, this bumper will keep your truck safe from the inevitable rear-end collisions that come with serious off-road RC driving.
Available in four striking colour options including black, blue, pink and chrome, the pink version offers a bold, eye-catching aesthetic that stands out on the track or trail. This is more than just a protective component — it's a complete upgrade package that includes all necessary mounting hardware and comprehensive mounting instructions, meaning you can install it with confidence and get back to enjoying your brushless RC short course truck immediately.
Key Features
- Full-sized design inspiration — The bumper is engineered based on current full-sized Short Course and Baja-style rear bumpers, meaning the wide and flat profile delivers authentic protection that actually stops most rear impacts from affecting your truck, providing real bash-proof durability that matters when you're pushing hard.
- 18% weight reduction — At just 9 grams lighter than the stock Traxxas bumper, this represents an 18% weight saving that genuinely improves performance, because lighter RC cars are always faster, making this a performance upgrade disguised as a protection component.
- Mud flap mounting points — The bumper comes pre-fitted with mounting positions for optional RPM Mud Flaps (part #81012, available separately), allowing you to add ultra-realistic good looks and extra protection whilst maintaining that scale appearance that serious RC enthusiasts demand.
- Four colour options — Choose from black, blue, pink or chrome finishes to match your Traxxas Slash or create a custom two-tone appearance that reflects your personal style and stands out in any RC car UK collection.
- Complete mounting hardware included — Every bumper ships with all necessary fasteners and complete mounting instructions, eliminating guesswork and ensuring you can install this upgrade quickly without purchasing additional parts.
- Replaces stock component — This bumper replaces the original Traxxas #5936 rear bumper, offering genuine improvement in durability and performance without requiring any modification to your truck's mounting points.
- Durable material construction — RPM's incredibly durable materials mean this bumper withstands repeated impacts and bash sessions far better than the stock plastic version, protecting your investment in your Traxxas Slash.
Technical Performance
The RPM Rear Bumper is engineered from incredibly durable materials that prioritise real-world durability and crash protection. The wide and flat profile directly mirrors full-sized Short Course and Baja-style bumpers, delivering authentic styling whilst providing practical protection against rear-end impacts that could otherwise damage your truck's chassis and suspension components. At just 9 grams lighter than the stock Traxxas bumper (representing an 18% weight saving), this component actually improves your Slash's performance metrics — less rotating mass means quicker acceleration and better overall handling characteristics. The engineering extends beyond raw protection; RPM has designed mounting points specifically for optional mud flaps (part #81012), allowing owners of the Traxxas Slash 2WD to add genuine scale realism without compromising function. The bumper maintains compatibility with both standard and LCG (Low Center of Gravity) chassis versions of the Slash 2WD, ensuring this upgrade works seamlessly regardless of which Slash variant you operate. For maximum rear-end crash and bash-proof protection, RPM highly recommends pairing this bumper with an RPM rear bumper mount (part #RPM80902 or #RPM80905), which adds additional structural support during heavy impacts.

Compatibility & Technical Notes
This rear bumper is designed exclusively for the Traxxas Slash 2WD platform in both standard and LCG chassis configurations. It will not fit the Traxxas Nitro Slash 2WD nor will it fit any Slash 4×4 variants, so please verify your truck model before purchasing.
