The stock rear bumper mount on the HPI Baja 5SC does not allow the use of current, highly popular rear-mounted exhaust pipes. That is no longer an issue! RPM Rear Bumper Mounts use our very popular 5B / 5T rear skid plate, coupled with an all new bumper mounting system that perfectly mates with stock components while keeping the rear bumper in the stock location. However, with an RPM bumper mounting system installed, you’ll have a large enough gap behind the rear bulkhead to run those rear-mounted pipes you’ve been wanting.

The RPM Rear Bumper Mount for the HPI Baja 5SC is a five-piece design that eliminates the two stock components that would normally interfere with a rear-mounted exhaust pipe. Our bumper mount is designed for strength, durability and exhaust pipe protection and as an added bonus, weighs in more than 5 grams lighter than the stock components they replace!

RPM Rear Bumper Mounts are molded in black in our trademark blend of extremely tough nylons and are backed by our world-renowned limited lifetime breakage warranty.

Within hours of releasing our Front Bumper for the HPI 5B (#81972), we heard a strong demand for a way to mount some lights to it. The wait is over! Our Light Pod Mounts for the HPI 5B are truly unique. They are sold in pairs to allow up to four HPI light pods (not included) to be mounted to an RPM Front Bumper (sold separately) with two pods affixed to each mount. With their modular design, they are the first and only fully adjustable pod mounts available today. Each pair of light pod mounts can be adjusted individually for both left to right as well as up and down settings. Not all four lights need to be run either. Any combination of lights can be run, from two narrow or two wide light pods, with a number of possible alternative combinations or all four for the ultimate in visibility – that’s a total of 48 – 5mm LEDs burning the night away!

With the lights so far forward, LEDs (not included) mounted in the light pods will project unobstructed light without shadow! Another unique feature available only on RPM lighting products is a foldaway design that in the event of a flip or frontal crash, the LED’s will fold back and down, out of harms way, allowing the bumper and shock tower to take the impact and protecting those expensive LEDs!

Tech Notes: RPM Light Pod Mounts are sold as a pair of mounts only (enough to affix 4 HPI light pods to a vehicle). RPM Front Bumpers (#81972) and HPI light pods and LEDs are not included. RPM Light Pod Mounts are designed for use with RPM bumpers for the HPI Baja 5B but may be mounted anywhere sufficient room and a 4mm screw will allow (some warranty restrictions may apply).

If you’ve ever rolled your HPI 5B and had the spark plug push through the stock protector, you need the RPM Roof Guard. The stock spark plug protector isn’t strong enough to handle serious inverted landings, which can easily damage or break the insulator of the spark plug.

The RPM roof guard is a low profile nylon plate that incorporates a large semi-spherical shape above the spark plug, keeping the plug free from damage during those accidental upside-down excursions. By using a semi-spherical dome over the spark plug, the design is simple, yet extremely strong. With the exception of the spark plug clearance dome, we keep the rest of the roof guard as low as possible to prevent the guard from detracting from the overall aesthetical appearance of this great-looking buggy.

RPM Roof Guards for the HPI 5B are made in the USA and molded in black from our superior blend of engineering grade nylons for the utmost in strength and durability. When protecting your ride is your primary goal, RPM has you covered!

The HPI Savage Flux is an incredibly powerful and durable truck with a critical protection flaw. There isn’t any protection for the fragile transmission and lower edge of the chassis plates. We solved this issue on the Savage and Savage-X with a design unique to RPM products and now a similar design is used to solve this same problem on the Savage Flux.

The RPM Skid Plate for the HPI Savage Flux has been precisely molded to follow the curves of the stock chassis plates, while adding unmatched durability to the entire drive line and transmission of the truck, leaving nothing exposed to potential road hazards, rocks or debris. The smooth, grooved surface of our skid plate also provides a low-friction skid surface for those times when a slide across the belly is unavoidable. RPM nylons are extremely durable, lightweight and wear resistant for long-lasting performance unmatched by anything else on the market.

Our distinctive design sits perfectly centered between the stock front and rear skid plates, without any vulnerable high spots, meaning transitions from the front to center to rear skid plate are snag-proof, lacking overlaps that can cause an object to catch and damage the underbelly of the truck. The mounting screws are recessed below the surface of the skid plate as well, providing protection to the screws and eliminating yet another potential snag point.

RPM skid plates are packaged with all necessary mounting parts, screws (heat-treated, flathead hex screws) and instructions. RPM Savage Flux skid plates are also backed by our industry-leading breakage warranty.

Tech Notes: RPM Center Skids are guaranteed to fit stock HPI Savage Flux chassis only (HPI #100902).

A lack of front-end protection of any R/C vehicle eventually results in hours of down time, replacing expensive chassis components from front-end impacts. The stock set-up on the HPI Baja 5B has virtually no protection up front since the bumper is tucked so far into the front of the vehicle. RPM steps in with some serious protection in the form of an all-new bumper specifically designed for this beast!

Our front bumper is a two-piece design, utilizing a skid plate and separate bumper that can be removed for racing. Each piece has specific design elements incorporated to dramatically improve the strength and durability of the HPI Baja 5B.The RPM skid plate is attached to the chassis with four 5mm screws, not two like the stock version, effectively cutting transferred impact energy in half, divided equally among those four screws. Our skid plate also has huge skid rails all along its lower section and is a major part of the impact-absorption system. It extends up, out and away from the chassis, creating a large curved section that acts as a buffer zone that rapidly dissipates impact energy by compressing during a hit, slowing and absorbing that energy without transferring it into the more fragile components of the vehicle. Once the impact force dissipates, the memory characteristics of our trademark blend of RPM nylons will return the bumper to its original position.

The bumper itself is over 6-1/2” wide and is designed to prevent smaller objects such as fence and mailbox poles from slipping in-between the skid plate and the tires. Its added width tops off a perfectly balanced design that is strong, extremely durable and built to last!
