TRAXXAS Rustler VXL Alloy Front Bumper RUS003F by GPM  [RUS003F]

Aluminium front bumper upgrade for Rustler VXL

This 1/10-scale alloy front bumper is an aftermarket replacement designed to fit the TRAXXAS Rustler VXL mounting points on a standard chassis. It installs as a direct-fit option that gives a tougher contact surface than the stock plastic piece without extensive modification.

The alloy construction delivers a firmer front impact response versus plastic, which can alter collision behaviour and the feel when tuning front-end settings for short course runs or backyard bashing. Expect improved durability under repeated contacts.

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic RC maintenance. Remove the original bumper and mount this unit using the factory holes and compatible hardware, verifying screw lengths and thread engagement before final tightening. Minor clearance checks around the servo, ESC and suspension are advised.

Setup pointers for hobbyists:

• Ensure the bumper lines up with factory screw locations and does not block servo horn movement.
• Check suspension travel and clearance to avoid contact through full motion; shim or adjust mounting if needed.
• Where factory screws are worn, replace with the correct hex screw length to secure the bumper reliably.
