After receiving numerous requests to review the Traxxas Slash rear bumper mount, we have found some issues that could use the RPM touch. The same issues were encountered on e-Rustler, e-Stampede & Bandit vehicles as well, with the stock wheelie bar bracket.

After receiving numerous requests to review the Traxxas Slash rear bumper mount, we have found some issues that could use the RPM touch. The same issues were encountered on e-Rustler, e-Stampede & Bandit vehicles as well, with the stock wheelie bar bracket. The problem: The stock bracket uses only a single bolt on the side of the transmission cover to hold the bracket in place. This causes a hinge effect on rear impacts, causing the slotted area that holds the rear underride guard to pop out after an impact, leaving the stock bumper/wheelie bar bracket hanging under the chassis.
The RPM solution: an all-new bumper mounting system that eliminates all the problems of the stock version. The RPM bumper/wheel bar mount has two mounting holes on the transmission cover side and three on the engine side - that's two additional mounting points to eliminate the annoying hinge effect mentioned above. The additional mounting bolts help direct the impact energy into the transmission case over a larger area, greatly reducing the possibility of damage to the case! The new RPM bracket design means no more slotted parts hanging under the rear underride guard - ever! Our mount fits snugly behind the underride guard and provides more rear ground clearance. Our rear bumper / wheelie bar mount also fits a wide range of vehicles. It fits all versions of the Traxxas Slash 2wd, electric Stampede, electric Rustler and Bandit including VXL, XL-5 and Legacy versions. The RPM rear bumper / wheelie bar bracket is molded in our nearly indestructible blend of nylons and is sold in either blue or black. Each bracket comes with all necessary parts, complete installation instructions and an industry leading warranty! Technical Notes: The RPM rear bumper mount replaces the Traxxas #3677.
