Key Features

• CNC Machined Construction — Every bumper mount is precision CNC machined from billet aluminium, ensuring dimensional accuracy and perfect fitment to your Double Steel Tube Front Bumper and chassis mounting points. This manufacturing method guarantees consistency across every unit produced, meaning you get the exact same quality as the original RC4WD specification.
• Billet Aluminium Material — Manufactured from high-grade billet aluminium, this component offers the perfect balance of lightweight construction and structural rigidity, allowing your scale crawler to maintain authentic proportions without unnecessary weight that would affect handling and traction on technical trails.
• Black Anodised Finish — The professional black anodised finish provides protection against corrosion and weathering whilst maintaining the factory appearance that matches genuine RC4WD scale builds. The anodising also gives the component a premium, finished appearance that elevates the overall aesthetic of your crawler project.
• Compact, Lightweight Design — Weighing just 10.1 grams and measuring 108mm in length, this mount integrates seamlessly into your build without adding unnecessary bulk or affecting the scale proportions of your 1987 XtraCab or 1985 4Runner hard body platform.
• Included Hardware — The package includes 2x M3 Driveshaft Screw Pins, providing everything you need to secure the bumper mount to your chassis and bumper assembly without requiring a trip to the hardware shop to source compatible fasteners.
• Genuine RC4WD Part — As an authorised RC4WD dealer, RC Model Shop supplies only genuine factory parts, ensuring that replacement hardware (M3 Driveshaft Screw Pins, part number Z-S0804) is readily available whenever you need it for future maintenance or rebuilds.

Technical Performance

The RC4WD Z-S2172 represents the gold standard in scale crawler accessory engineering. Precision CNC machining from billet aluminium ensures that this component will maintain its dimensional accuracy throughout thousands of crawling sessions on technical trails. The material choice is deliberate—aluminium provides exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, critical for maintaining scale proportions whilst ensuring the bumper assembly doesn't shift or flex during aggressive off-road use. The black anodised finish serves dual purposes: it protects the aluminium from oxidation and weathering that would dull the appearance, and it creates a professional, factory-finished aesthetic that matches RC4WD's reputation for quality. With dimensions of 108mm length, 11.4mm width, and 25.4mm height, the mount is engineered to interface perfectly with the Double Steel Tube Front Bumper (Z-S2141) whilst maintaining proper clearance for suspension articulation and obstacle navigation. At just 10.1 grams, the weight penalty is negligible, meaning you can achieve authentic scale appearance without compromising your crawler's performance characteristics. The inclusion of M3 Driveshaft Screw Pins ensures secure fastening using industry-standard hardware, eliminating any risk of the bumper assembly detaching during challenging trail sections or jump landings.
