The body is supplied in crystal clear polycarbonate with over-spray film, window masks and a Aerox decal sheet and it was used by Schumacher’s Michal Orlowski to win last weekend’s EOS at the Hudy Arena.

RPM E-Rustler rear bumper kit

RPM have introduced a rear bumper kit for the electric variants of Traxxas’ Rustler 2WD monster truck. 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 owners decide to run without the wheelie bar, the bumper is so versatile, it’ll adapt and allow either configuration. The part is designed tough, with serious impact absorption characteristics built in. With the use of the optional RPM Rear Bumper Mount, the protection for the motor becomes nearly indestructible. The bumper is made of engineering grade nylons and comes in black or blue colour.
