RPM E-Rustler green rear bumper

Coming from RPM and made for the Traxxas E-Rustler is a green rear bumper kit. The bumper is designed to protect the rear of the chassis, the motor and the body, all while still allowing the use of a stock Traxxas wheelie bar. Additionally, if the owner decides to run without the wheelie bar, the rear bumper is so versatile, it’ll adapt and allow either configuration. The part is made of green heavy duty nylon and requires an optional Traxxas or RPM bumper mount to install. The assembly works with most known Traxxas Rustler bodies, however aftermarket or non-standard bodies may require trimming for proper fit.
