RPM Kraton & DEX8T front bumper & rear skid plate

Made for a range of Arrma and Team Durango kits are RPM’s new front bumper and rear skid plate. Starring with the front bumper, the part is structurally engineered to add much needed impact-absorption to the front of the Arrma Kraton and Team Durango DEX8T, dramatically reducing the amount of impact force from a crash that gets transferred into the chassis. Our two-piece design incorporates a 4mm thick skid plate with 1.5mm skid ribs to the front of the truck, extending more than 38mm in front of the chassis and protects the front of that expensive aluminium chassis from skid and impact damage. An additional curved oval bumper on top helps protect the body as well. The bumper and skid plate is moulded in black engineering grade nylons for strength and durability.

The shock tower protectors are available as a pair or singularly, and will fit the front and rear kit towers for both the B6 and B6D.
