Yeah Racing introduce new TRX-4 brass & steel options

Coming from Yeah Racing are new brass and stainless steel option parts for Traxxas’ TRX-4 trail truck. First up is a front bumper and servo mount made from heavy brass material that allows to utilise a front steering servo setup. Doing so will make way for a front battery tray while also adding a good amount of weight up front as the bumper weighs in at 117g alone. The part comes in a natural finish with engraved YR logos and mounting hardware. Also new is a front or rear stainless steel fender, a part that protects the servo and parts of the front steering linkage. The item fills the gap between the axle and the bumper and due to being made from stainless steel it is both sturdy and durable. It comes with pre-bend mounting brackets and including hardware. Last but not least is a stainless steel front or rear differential protector for the TRX-4. The item is a straight install with the original screw holes and without the need for any other extra mounts.
