Key Features

• Officially Licensed by Marlin Crawler Inc. — This roll bar carries full official licensing from Marlin Crawler Inc., ensuring you're installing a genuine, authorised accessory that respects the intellectual property and heritage of the real-world 4x4 brand. This exclusive licensing means the Marlin Crawler roll bar and turtle logo are only available through RC4WD and authorised dealers like RC Model Shop, guaranteeing authenticity and quality control that counterfeit alternatives cannot match.
• ABS Plastic Injection Moulding Construction — Manufactured using precision ABS plastic injection moulding, this roll bar delivers exceptional durability without unnecessary weight. ABS plastic is renowned in the RC industry for its impact resistance and dimensional stability, making it ideal for scale crawlers that encounter rocks, obstacles and rough terrain during competitive crawling or recreational bashing sessions across UK trails.
• Moulded in Professional Black Finish — The roll bar is finished in a deep, professional black colour that complements any body colour scheme whilst providing authentic scale appearance consistent with full-size Marlin Crawler vehicles. This classic colour choice ensures the roll bar remains visually cohesive with modern crawler builds and won't show dirt and dust as readily as lighter finishes.
• Integrated Marlin Crawler Branding — The roll bar features authentic Marlin Crawler branding moulded directly into the plastic, delivering scale detail that immediately identifies your build to fellow RC enthusiasts. This attention to detail demonstrates RC4WD's commitment to scale authenticity, elevating your crawler beyond a simple vehicle into a meticulously crafted scale replica.
• Included Marlin Crawler Decal Sheet — Complementing the roll bar itself, this package includes an official Marlin Crawler decal sheet that allows you to add further authentic branding details to your Mojave body and other build components. These decals provide additional customisation options for hobbyists who want to achieve complete scale authenticity across their entire crawler setup.
• Verified Compatibility with Mojave II Bodies — This roll bar is specifically engineered and tested for compatibility with RC4WD Mojave II body sets, ensuring a perfect fit without modification. The precise dimensions (150mm length × 89.5mm width × 92.2mm height) guarantee seamless integration with all Mojave-bodied Trail Finder 2 platforms, whether running the RTR ready-to-run versions or building from a truck kit.
• Lightweight Scale Performance — Weighing just 40 grams, this roll bar adds scale detail without compromising your crawler's centre of gravity or handling characteristics. For competitive crawlers and technical terrain runners, this minimal weight penalty ensures your vehicle maintains optimal climbing ability and obstacle-clearing performance whilst gaining authentic visual presence.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Marlin Crawler Roll Bar represents a masterclass in scale accessory engineering. Manufactured through precision ABS plastic injection moulding, the component delivers exceptional dimensional accuracy whilst maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for competitive crawling. The finished dimensions of 150.0mm length, 89.5mm width, and 92.2mm height ensure perfect proportional scaling for 1/10-scale Trail Finder 2 platforms, whilst the 40-gram weight ensures negligible impact on your vehicle's performance envelope. The moulded-in Marlin Crawler branding and integrated design eliminate the need for separate fasteners or complex installation procedures, allowing straightforward fitment to compatible Mojave II body sets. The black ABS plastic finish provides UV resistance and impact protection essential for crawlers operating in challenging UK outdoor conditions, from technical rock gardens to muddy trail courses. The engineering quality reflects RC4WD's position as a premium manufacturer, with the official Marlin Crawler licensing requiring strict adherence to dimensional tolerances and visual authenticity standards that exceed typical aftermarket alternatives.
