RC hobbyists across the UK recognise RC4WD as a trusted brand for Trail Finder 2 accessories and upgrades. This bumper mount is no exception—it's CNC machined to exacting tolerances, finished to professional standards, and engineered to provide years of reliable service whether you're crawling rocky terrain or displaying your pride and joy in the garage.

Key Features

• CNC Machined Construction — Every bumper mount is precision machined using computer numerical control technology, ensuring perfect consistency, tight tolerances and flawless fitment every single time you install it on your Trail Finder 2 chassis. This manufacturing process eliminates the imperfections inherent in plastic moulding and creates a genuinely professional component that will outlast multiple plastic alternatives.
• Smooth Black Anodised Finish — The aluminium is treated with anodising, a protective electrochemical process that creates a hardened oxide layer on the metal surface. This finish resists corrosion from moisture and weathering, provides a premium aesthetic appearance with a refined satin-black colour, and ensures your bumper mount remains looking factory-fresh even after months of regular use in wet conditions typical of UK outdoor RC bashers.
• Direct Fit for TF2 Chassis — Designed specifically for the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 platform, this bumper mount integrates seamlessly with your existing chassis without requiring modifications, adaptors or workarounds. The precision machining ensures perfect alignment with mounting points, guaranteeing stable installation and reliable performance from day one.
• #1 Straight-Height Profile — This is the standard-height bumper mount option, maintaining perfect proportions and authentic scale appearance for your Trail Finder 2. It provides ideal ground clearance whilst keeping the vehicle's visual profile true to scale, making it the most versatile choice for both crawling and display purposes. RC4WD offers alternative #2 middle and #3 lowest height options if you require different mounting geometry.
• Upgraded from Plastic Stock Mount — The original Trail Finder 2 kit includes a plastic bumper mount. This aluminium replacement offers dramatically improved durability, structural rigidity, impact resistance and longevity. When your bumper contacts obstacles—as it inevitably will during challenging terrain crawling—the metal construction absorbs impacts that would crack or shatter plastic alternatives.
• Enhanced Durability and Longevity — Aluminium offers superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to plastic, meaning you get a more robust component without adding unnecessary heft to your Trail Finder 2. This translates to better performance, faster acceleration, and a more resilient chassis that can handle aggressive driving without component failure.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD #1 Aluminium Bumper Mount exemplifies precision engineering and quality manufacturing standards. The CNC machining process produces a component with dimensional accuracy measured in fractions of millimetres, ensuring perfect fitment on your Trail Finder 2 chassis every time. Aluminium selected for this application provides the ideal balance of strength and weight—approximately three times stronger than the plastic stock mount whilst remaining lightweight enough that it won't negatively impact your crawler's performance characteristics. The black anodised finish undergoes a rigorous electrochemical treatment process that creates a protective barrier against oxidation and corrosion, safeguarding the aluminium's integrity through wet conditions, salt spray exposure and extended storage periods. The smooth finish not only provides superior protection but also creates a professional appearance that upgrades the visual presentation of your Trail Finder 2 significantly. For builders and enthusiasts who understand that quality components contribute to overall vehicle reliability and longevity, this bumper mount represents an essential upgrade. The straight-height (#1) profile maintains perfect proportions with the Trail Finder 2 chassis, preserving authentic scale appearance whilst optimising ground clearance for challenging terrain navigation. Installation is straightforward—the precision machining ensures alignment with original mounting points without requiring any modification to your existing Trail Finder 2 chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the different bumper mount height options available for the Trail Finder 2? — RC4WD manufactures three height variants for the Trail Finder 2 bumper mount to suit different builder preferences and crawling styles. The #1 option (Z-S0006, shown here) is the straight-height standard mount offering authentic proportions and balanced ground clearance. The #2 middle height option (Z-S0004) sits between the straight and lowest positions, whilst the #3 lowest option (Z-S0003) maximises ground clearance for extreme terrain but may sacrifice some visual scale accuracy. Most RC enthusiasts in the UK prefer the #1 straight option for its balanced characteristics.
• Will this bumper mount fit my Trail Finder 2? — Yes, this mount is designed as a direct replacement for the plastic bumper mount found in the original Trail Finder 2 kit. It's compatible with the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 chassis and specifically works with the Trail Finder 2 RTR that includes the Mojave II Body Set (Z-RTR0024). No modifications to your chassis are required—the CNC precision machining ensures perfect fitment from the moment you install it.
• Why should I upgrade from the plastic stock bumper mount to aluminium? — Plastic bumper mounts can crack, warp or shatter when your Trail Finder 2 makes contact with rocks, roots or obstacles during aggressive crawling sessions. Aluminium is approximately three times stronger than plastic whilst remaining lightweight, providing dramatically improved durability and longevity. The black anodised finish offers corrosion resistance superior to bare metal, protecting your investment through wet British weather conditions. Additionally, the aluminium upgrade immediately improves your Trail Finder 2's visual appeal and perceived quality, whether you're competing or displaying your build.
• Is the black anodised finish durable for outdoor use? — Absolutely. The anodising process creates a hardened oxide layer on the aluminium surface that resists corrosion, weathering and oxidation. This finish is specifically designed to withstand outdoor RC bashers in UK conditions, including exposure to moisture, mud, grass and temperature fluctuations. The smooth anodised surface also makes cleaning much easier than bare aluminium or plastic alternatives.
• Can I use this bumper mount with other RC4WD Trail Finder variants? — This mount is specifically designed and tested for compatibility with the RC4WD Trail Finder 2 chassis and RTR models. Before using with other RC4WD Trail Finder generations or significantly modified builds, verify mounting point compatibility with the manufacturer or an experienced RC specialist at your local RC shop UK.
• What tools do I need to install this bumper mount? — Installation typically requires basic RC hobby tools including an appropriate hex key or screwdriver matching the mounting fasteners. Consult your Trail Finder 2 assembly manual or RC4WD installation documentation for specific tool requirements and step-by-step installation procedures. Most RC enthusiasts can complete installation in under 10 minutes.
