The
4x4 version of the Slash is another awesome creation from the minds at
Traxxas but with a little help from RPM, we’ve made it
even better! Our new rear bumper is modeled after full-sized short course
and desert racing trucks for authentic scale realism, utilizing the same
great looking rear bumper as that found on the 2wd version of the RPM
rear bumper and making the most of an all-new bumper mount design specifically
for the 4x4. This new mounting system has the perfect blend of rigidity
and flexibility to absorb those nasty rear collisions without transferring
huge amounts of impact energy into the more fragile components of the
chassis. Additionally, with its twin hinge point mounting system, rear
A-arm maintenance is a snap. Simply remove the two bottom-mounted
flathead screws and the bumper swivels out of the way for easy access to
the rear A-arms! It even allows the rear sway bar to stay in place!
We
incorporated a thicker skid plate design that does a fantastic job of
protecting the rear end and lower mounting screws from harsh conditions
such as gravel and asphalt impacts. The RPM lower mount /
skid plate is over 35% thicker than the stock version!
What
more could we do to make these things incredibly realistic? How about
mounting points for mud flaps and RPM tail light kits
already widely available? That’s right; these bumpers come stock with
mounting positions for RPM mud flaps (RPM #81012
available separately) and RPM Tail Light Kits (RPM
#81030 also
available separately). If you haven’t seen a Slash with a full set of
LED’s running at night, you’re missing out!

When
Traxxas first announced the 4x4
version of the Slash, RPM customers immediately started
asking us if our 2wd version parts would fit it. Sadly, that was not the
case. Since then, we’ve been working hard to make all of those RPM
parts 2wd owners love, fit on the Slash 4x4 version.
Our
three-piece front bumper / skid plate design for the Traxxas 4x4 is simple,
yet strong, effective and highly attractive. We made it a three-piece
design to give the Slash owner the option of full front-end bash-proof and
crash-proof protection with the skid plate mount, skid plate and bumper
installed or if they’re racing, they can remove the bumper and use the
skid plate mount and skid plate as a light-weight alternative bumper /
skid plate that sheds 27 grams (almost a full ounce) of weight
from the front end of the truck. Once the race is over, simply reinstall
the bumper and full bash protection is once again available!
Our
Traxxas Slash 4x4 front bumper design eliminates the bumper support ring
and the 4 screws behind the stock bumper while using a thicker skid design
to supply the cushioning resistance a basher-proof bumper needs. By
eliminating the stock bumper support ring, absolutely no frontal
impact crash energy is transferred into the upper half of the differential
housing. We supply longer bumper mounting screws as well, so any
impact energy from down low has less of a tendency to pull the mounting
screws out from the bottom half of the differential housing. With an RPM
impact-absorbing front bumper installed, the energy transferred from
frontal impacts will be greatly reduced as well.
RPM
front bumpers for the Traxxas Slash 4x4 are available in three color
options: black on black, blue on blue or a chrome bumper on a gray skid
plate. We’re so confident in the strength and durability of these new
bumpers that they too come with our unbeatable factory warranty
protection.

Since
the release of the Traxxas Slash 4x4, RPM customers flooded
our e-mail in-box and called us to let us know how badly they wanted RPM
A-arms for these trucks. They’re here! RPM A-arms for the
Traxxas Slash 4x4 are everything you’ve come to expect from RPM
and more! Take a look at everything we’ve done:
We
eliminated the slop in the suspension system, tightening the tolerances
around the hinge pins, reduced the fore and aft movement of the A-arms at
both the inner hinge pin and at the axle carriers by better than 90% and
improved the durability dramatically (they’re made by RPM,
enough said). As a bonus, we cut 6.5 grams of weight off of each
A-arm! That’s a total loss of just under one ounce of weight
simply by replacing your stock A-arms with the RPM versions!
We
can’t forget about how much better aesthetically the RPM
versions look either. RPM A-arms carry over our traditional
look with our 30 degree leading and trailing edges, and huge bosses for
the shocks and sway bar mounts. Additionally, you now have the option of a
bit of color with either blue or black to choose from.
RPM
A-arms are molded in our trademark blend of incredibly durable nylons and
are backed by an industry leading warranty. We proudly stand behind our
products! Designed, manufactured and produced right here in southern
California in the USA!
Tech
Notes: RPM A-arms for the Traxxas Slash 4x4 are
sold in sets of 1 – left and 1 – right A-arm in each package. Two
packages will be needed to complete one truck. The upper hinge pin
hole of the rear axle carriers cannot be used (not a stock location for
the Slash 4x4) due to strengthening designs that reduce the clearance
around the rear axle.
