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.

Exotek TLR 22-4 13.5 spec centre spool set

Coming from Exotek and made for the TLR 22-4 2.0 1/10th 4WD buggy is a 13.5 spec centre spool set. The super light slipper lock-out conversion greatly reduces the rotating mass of the 22-4 drive line for improved acceleration and lower motor temps which is needed in the very competitive 13.5 spec classes. The complete stock slipper assembly weighs in at 32g while the complete Exotek spool is only 19.7g. The axle is made of titanium to reduce weight but maintain durability and the locking plates are lightened polished aluminium. These eliminates the heavy steel shaft, slipper pads, springs and plates all while using the TLR spur gears and pulleys for easy replacement when needed. Due to the lightweight nature of the conversion it is recommended for 13.5T and 17.5T motors.
