Technical Performance
The Traxxas rear bumper (TRX10236X) represents precision engineering at the component level. Manufactured to OEM specifications, the bumper is machined with exact LED cutouts that align perfectly with the Traxxas High-Intensity Maxx Slash Complete LED Light Kit's multi-function rear light bar. The bumper material is built using Traxxas's proven construction methods that deliver impact resistance and durability even under extreme bashing conditions. The LED cutouts are precisely angled and sized to maximise light output from the high-power rear LED module while maintaining the structural integrity of the bumper. This component is engineered to work exclusively with the TRX10290 LED light kit, which includes a high-voltage power amplifier that delivers regulated output for stable, flicker-free lighting performance. The bumper integrates with this waterproof system seamlessly, allowing you to run your 1/8 scale Maxx Slash RC short course truck in all weather conditions. The Traxxas engineering behind this bumper ensures that the multi-function rear LEDs will illuminate at full brightness without dimming as battery voltage changes — a feature that sets genuine Traxxas lighting apart from inferior aftermarket systems. Installation is straightforward; the bumper mounts using standard Traxxas hardware and requires no modification to your truck's structure.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will this bumper fit my Maxx Slash without the LED light kit? — This bumper is specifically designed for use with the TRX10290 LED light kit and features cutouts for the multi-function rear LED bar. Whilst the bumper could technically mount on a standard Maxx Slash, it would leave gaps where the LED cutouts are positioned. For use without LEDs, you should use the standard Maxx Slash rear bumper instead.
- Is this an official Traxxas part? — Yes, this is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) Traxxas component, part number TRX10236X. It carries the same quality assurance and engineering standards as every other Traxxas part and is backed by Traxxas's reputation as the fastest name in radio control.
- What makes the Traxxas LED light kit better than aftermarket alternatives? — The Traxxas High-Intensity Maxx Slash Complete LED Light Kit includes several advanced features not found on generic aftermarket systems. The high-voltage power amplifier taps power directly from the batteries rather than drawing from the BEC, delivering intense, brilliant illumination without flickering or dimming as battery voltage changes. The intelligent rear brake lights activate only when braking in forward direction, eliminating the annoying false activation that generic systems suffer from. The system is fully waterproof, features regulated output for stable performance, and includes a Traxxas Link app for remote control and customisation of lighting modes.
- Can I use this bumper with other Traxxas trucks? — This bumper is designed specifically for the Maxx Slash 1/8 scale short course truck and will not fit other Traxxas models. Each Traxxas truck model has its own bumper specifications to ensure perfect alignment with the truck's chassis and body dimensions.
- Is installation complicated? — Installation is straightforward and requires no modification to your truck. The bumper uses standard Traxxas mounting hardware and fastens to your Maxx Slash using simple bolt-on attachment points. Full installation instructions are included with the LED light kit.
- What if I damage the bumper during bashing? — Traxxas bumpers are built Traxxas Tough to withstand brutal real-world punishment, but if you do damage yours, replacement bumpers like this one are readily available and easy to swap out. Simply unbolt the old bumper and bolt on the new one — no tools or technical knowledge required beyond basic RC maintenance skills.
