## Overview

The RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate (RPM70982) is a precision-engineered, black nylon replacement part designed exclusively for the Traxxas Sledge. It innovatively accommodates the Sledge’s forward-moving body mount system by combining a wider skid plate with a robust front bumper, delivering enhanced durability and crash protection. Made in the USA and backed by a limited lifetime warranty, this easy-to-install upgrade transforms your RC truck’s front end into a resilient fortress.

## Description

The RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate for the TRA Sledge is a unique design that works with the TRA body mounting mechanism. TRA 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 the TRA body mounting system. How did they do it? First, RPM eliminated the stock bumper and replaced it with a hinge pin retainer, since realistically, that's all the stock bumper really is. Next, they eliminated the stock skid plate in favor of a wider, longer and more protective skid. Lastly, they bolted a unique bumper to the front of the skid plate. The RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate for the TRA Sledge 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 RPM Front Bumper and skid plate is molded in black from their exclusive blend of engineering grade nylons for unmatched strength and durability. All RPM molded products are made in the USA and backed by their limited lifetime warranty against breakage. TechNOTES: The RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate is designed specifically for the TRA Sledge and replaces the bumper and skid plate from stock TRA #9535.

Review: A must have - Got this for my Sledge. Good quality and price. Fits perfect and helps the front body from sinking in when you crash. If you have a Traxxas Sledge you need this.
Review: Sledge Front Bumper - This is an absolute must upgrade for the Traxxas Sledge. It is a great product. Well made and easy to install.
