Z-S0004

Overview

The RC4WD #2 Aluminium Bumper Mount for Trail Finder 2 (Z-S0004) is a premium CNC-machined upgrade designed specifically for serious RC scale crawlers in the UK and beyond. This component replaces the stock plastic bumper mount found on the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 chassis, offering a significant step up in durability, precision and scale authenticity. Whether you're running a Trail Finder 2 RTR with Mojave II body set or building a custom TF2 crawler setup, this aluminium bumper mount delivers the rigid interface and refined appearance that separates genuine scale rigs from basic RC vehicles.

Scale crawling enthusiasts understand that every component matters when building a competition-grade or display-quality RC 4x4. The plastic mounts supplied in standard kits often flex under load and lack the visual refinement expected on a serious scale model. This #2 middle-height aluminium bumper mount addresses both concerns with professional engineering and a striking black anodised finish that complements any Trail Finder 2 build. It's the kind of hop-up upgrade that transforms your RC crawler from good to genuinely impressive, whether you're tackling challenging terrain or showcasing your rig at club events across the UK.

For anyone serious about RC scale crawling, suspension geometry and bumper positioning are critical to both performance and appearance. The middle-height design of this #2 mount allows you to dial in the perfect bumper position for your specific setup, giving you control that cheap plastic alternatives simply cannot offer. Combined with RC4WD's reputation for quality and precision engineering, this is the natural choice for Trail Finder 2 owners who demand the best.

Key Features

• CNC-Machined Construction — Every single mount is precision-machined using computer numerical control, ensuring consistent tolerances and perfect fitment with zero wobble or flex, unlike injection-moulded plastic alternatives.
• Smooth Black Anodised Finish — The protective anodising process creates a hard, corrosion-resistant surface that resists scratches and maintains its colour, whilst delivering the authentic scale appearance that serious RC crawlers demand.
• Direct Fit for Trail Finder 2 Chassis — This mount is engineered exclusively for the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 platform and compatible with the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 RTR w/Mojave II Body Set, ensuring perfect alignment and functionality out of the box.
• Middle-Height Design — The #2 positioning offers versatile bumper height adjustment, allowing you to tune your rig's approach angle and overall proportions to match your preferred scale look or terrain-specific performance requirements.
• Rigid Solid Interface — Unlike flexible plastic mounts that can shift and flex during aggressive driving, this aluminium construction provides a precise, unyielding mounting surface that keeps your bumper perfectly positioned at all times.
• Part of a Graduated Range — RC4WD offers three bumper mount options for Trail Finder 2: the #1 Straight (Z-S0006) for maximum ride height, this #2 Middle (Z-S0004) for balanced proportions, and the #3 Lowest (Z-S0003) for dropped stance applications.
• Recon G6 Certified — This product has been tested and approved by the respected Recon G6, confirming it meets the exacting standards demanded by the UK's competitive RC crawling community.

Technical Performance

This aluminium bumper mount represents RC4WD's commitment to engineering excellence. The CNC-machining process removes any possibility of the mould imperfections, warping or dimensional inconsistency that plagues plastic components. Each mount is crafted from high-grade aluminium and treated with a smooth black anodised coating that offers superior durability compared to painted finishes. The anodising process creates an oxide layer that resists corrosion, UV fading and mechanical wear, making this component suitable for both indoor competition and outdoor bashing in British weather conditions. The rigid construction provides zero flex during aggressive driving, maintaining consistent bumper geometry and approach angles whether you're crawling rocky terrain, navigating tight obstacles or displaying your rig. The middle-height design offers the perfect compromise between the straight profile of the #1 mount and the dropped stance of the #3 option, making it the most versatile choice for general Trail Finder 2 builds. Installation is straightforward on any TF2 chassis, and the solid mounting interface ensures your bumper stays perfectly positioned throughout extended driving sessions without any micro-movements or vibration-induced shifting. This is the kind of precision engineering that distinguishes professional-grade RC scale rigs from entry-level builds.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between the #1, #2 and #3 RC4WD Trail Finder 2 bumper mounts? — RC4WD offers three height options to suit different build preferences and scale proportions. The #1 Straight (Z-S0006) provides maximum ride height for vehicles that need extra ground clearance, this #2 Middle (Z-S0004) offers balanced proportions ideal for most builds and display purposes, and the #3 Lowest (Z-S0003) delivers a dropped stance for ultra-scale low-rider aesthetics. Choose based on your desired bumper height, approach angle and overall rig proportions.
• Is this an upgrade over the stock plastic bumper mount on the Trail Finder 2? — Yes, absolutely. The stock plastic mount found on standard TF2 kits is functional but lacks rigidity and precision. This CNC-machined aluminium mount eliminates flex, improves durability and dramatically enhances the visual quality of your rig with its smooth black anodised finish. It's a worthwhile upgrade for anyone serious about scale crawling.
• Will this fit my Trail Finder 2 RTR with Mojave II body? — Yes, this mount is confirmed compatible with the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 RTR with Mojave II Body Set (Z-RTR0024). It will drop straight into your existing TF2 chassis and integrate seamlessly with the Mojave II bodywork.
• What does Recon G6 Certified mean? — Recon G6 certification confirms that this product has been independently tested and approved by respected RC crawling standards, verifying that it meets the demands of competition-grade RC scale rigs and serious enthusiasts across the UK.
• Is this suitable for beginners? — This is a performance upgrade rather than a beginner component. If you already own a Trail Finder 2 and want to improve build quality and appearance, it's an excellent investment. Beginners should start with a complete RTR kit, then upgrade components like this as their skills and budget allow.
• Can I use this mount on any RC crawler? — This mount is engineered specifically for the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 chassis. It is not compatible with other RC crawling platforms or vehicle types. Check compatibility with your specific TF2 variant before ordering.
