Front Bumper, Skid Plate and Chassis Brace
for the Associated SC10
RPM is proud to offer a unique front bumper system for the Associated SC10. It is designed with two primary purposes – first and foremost is durability while second, it has to look good doing it! Our goals have been met with an overwhelming success.

Our front bumper system is designed in three pieces. The most critical piece is our unique chassis brace. This brace bolts to the bottom of the chassis using existing holes to help reduce the possibility of chassis breakage through frontal impacts. We achieve this by using 6 mounting points – both servo mounting screw holes and all four bulkhead screw holes. By tying in all 6 locations with a stout, molded nylon plate, we create a perfect foundation for the RPM front skid plate.

The new RPM front skid plate ties into the same four bulkhead screw holes as the chassis brace but we went a step further and added two extra skid plate mounting holes to help disperse frontal impact energy over a larger surface area. This design protects the front bulkhead much better than the stock bumper. Additionally, we’ve eliminated the stock front bumper loop that ties into the front shock tower. By eliminating that piece, it allows the front bumper much more room to absorb impacts while transferring zero impact energy into the fragile front shock tower. The massive front curve of the skid plate does two things – creates a progressive impact zone that steadily absorbs more and more impact energy as the bumper compresses. The curvature also creates a great transitioning surface for those less than stellar landings or unexpected obstacles that “pop up” in front of the truck.

What's Included: 1 - Front Bumper, 1 - Front Skid Plate, 1 - Chassis Brace, all additional mounting hardware and complete instructions. (Light Canister sets sold separately.)

Light Canister Set
fits the RPM SC10 Front Bumper
Our Light Canister Set for the RPM SC10 Front Bumper (#80952, #80953 or #80955) is designed to give the appearance of a Baja Desert Truck with its scale off-road light design. Each of its four lights is modeled after a full-sized, 6” off-road light. Each individual light comes with a light canister (or housing), a clear lens and a light guard.

Our 4-light set also comes with a unique mounting plate that allows all four lights to sit centered in perfect symmetry within the upper and lower bars of our SC10 front bumper. The mounting plate uses the same three screws that attach the bumper to the bumper skid plate while keeping the lights recessed and protected by the upper and lower bumper bars.

Yes, the lights look simply awesome on the front of the truck but why did we make them? Well, we wanted to light up the night! That’s right, each of the four light canisters come set-up for a 3mm LED light (not included). Our instructions detail a very simple method to install a set of 4 LEDs in our canisters to carry the fun long into the night. Our calculations show that adding 4 - 3mm LEDs and tying the power source directly into the main battery pack creates a minimal draw of power but throws out a nice amount of light to keep the fun going as daylight draws to an end!

For the ultimate in scale-realism, there is nothing better than the RPM Light Canister set. They are available in classic black or bright chrome. Either looks incredible on the truck and adds the finishing touch to any concourse winning paint job! 

What's Included: The RPM Light Canister Set includes: 4 - Light Canisters, 4 - Light Guards, 4 - Clear Lenses, 1 - Light Mount, 4 - M3 x 8mm Flathead Screws & complete instructions. RPM Bumper / Skid Plate sold separately.

Tail Light Set
Our bumper and roof light sets for the Associated SC10, Traxxas Slash and other short course trucks light up the night quite nicely but what about the back? Well, we now have a true-to-scale tail light set for the Traxxas Slash, taking care of the final piece in the night running puzzle (this set fits directly on the stock Associated SC10 rear bumper - see "Fitment to the SC10" below). Our tail lights add that concours winning touch for full-scale realism! With a set of bright white lights out front (using RPM light canister sets, of course!) and a set of RPM red tail lights out back, finding your way around at night has never been easier!

Our Traxxas Slash tail light set comes complete with everything needed to bolt a pair of 3mm LED’s (LED’s not included) to your truck, including a pair of red tail light lenses, two lens housings and a pair of mounting plates (the RPM mounting plates can be modified to fit other applications such as the Associated SC10 and other short course vehicles as well). The lens housings can also be modified to fit other areas of different vehicles for alternate effects too, such as running a second set of lights as amber dust lights (identical to full-sized short course and Baja racing trucks).

For lighting up what’s out front, we have our light canister sets (RPM #80982 & #80983) as well as our roof-mounted light bar set (RPM #80922, #80923 & #80925). RPM light sets are the best and only alternative for continuing your fun long after the sun sets and the lights go out!

Suggestions: If you don't want to build a set of LED tail lights yourself, please consider www.RC-Lights.com for a drop-in tail light set, no soldering required. They manufacture an RPM recommended brake light kit that gets brighter under braking! You can find the specific kit here. RC-Lights is offering $30.00 off any full LED lighting system to RPM customers. Simply mention the code 'RPM' at checkout.

Tech Notes: 3mm LED lights are not included. The RPM mounting plates and lens housings can be modified to fit any number of applications but warranty restrictions do apply. See instructions for more details. RPM tail light sets are designed specifically for the RPM rear bumper for the Traxxas Slash (RPM #81002, #81003 & #81005).

Fitment to the SC10: Simply remove the upper two screws from the stock Associated rear bumper, slip the RPM mounting plate (with the logo right-side up) between the bumper and bumper mounts and screw the hole furthest from the lens in the mounting plate to the bumper / bumper mount (see photo above for an illustration).
