Quick Notes:

  • Includes a longer and wider skid plate
  • Front bumper width is 6-3/4″ (171.5mm) wide
  • Replaces the bumper and skid plate from stock Traxxas #9535

he RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate for the Traxxas Sledge is a unique design that works with the Sledge’s body mounting mechanism. Traxxas designed the body mounting system to move forward instead of rearward. Because it moves forward by well over 1” (25mm), it severely limits bumper design. However, RPM engineers found a way to incorporate a fully functioning bumper with this unique body mounting system.

How did we do it? First, we eliminated the stock bumper and replaced it with a hinge pin retainer, since realistically, that’s all the stock bumper really is. Next, we eliminated the stock skid plate in favor of a wider, longer and more protective skid. Lastly, we bolted a unique bumper to the front of the skid plate. Our system sits below the body, which allows the body mounting system full range of motion, yet the Sledge finally has some tough, RPM front end protection.

Each component is molded in black from our exclusive blend of engineering grade nylons for unmatched strength and durability. All RPM molded products are made in the USA and backed by our limited lifetime warranty against breakage.

Tech Notes: The RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate is designed specifically for the Traxxas Sledge and replaces the bumper and skid plate from stock Traxxas #9535.

About RPM Products
RPM was established in 1974 as a plastic mold making and injection molding facility. Many of the first high tolerance, precision molded parts built by RPM were for the commercial and medical industries, where accuracy is critical. It wasn’t until the mid 1980’s that RPM began designing parts for the R/C industry. These parts were of the same quality and precision that exist in the injection-molded parts we build to this day. Since RPM’s inception, we have expanded our mold making capacity by purchasing some of the best machine tools available. In addition, RPM has a complete injection molding facility in-house. Every single molded product made by RPM is conceived, designed, built and manufactured in our facility, right here in Chino, California USA! Very few manufacturers have the capabilities that RPM has for full in-house production. This ability to design, manufacture and produce our own products gives us the best possible quality control over our parts. Excellent quality control, in turn, gives our customers the best possible parts!
