Traxxas Short & Long Rod Ends
RPM Rod Ends for Associated and Losi vehicles have been some our best selling RPM parts for over 2 decades! That same engineering, combined with RPM bulletproof materials, has gone into the creation of RPM Rod Ends for Traxxas 1/10^th scale vehicles. These rod ends are tough! The area around the ball stud is thicker than the stock rod end while still allowing a full range of motion of the pivot ball. Additionally, the shank has been redesigned with a pair of flats, making the rod end much easier to work with (versus the stock, round shank). RPM rod ends are sold in sets of twelve to complete most vehicle needs.

RPM Rod Ends cover a wide range of currently available Traxxas vehicles including all versions of the following: Slash 2wd, Slash 4x4, Summit, T-Maxx, E-Maxx, Revo, e-Revo, Slayer Pro 4x4, Stampede 4x4, Rustler VXL, Jato and Bandit VXL.

Tech Notes: RPM short rod ends replace Traxxas stock #5347 while RPM long rod ends replace Traxxas stock #5525. Both versions are sold without pivot balls. Stock Traxxas pivot balls are required for completion.

Traxxas Stampede 4x4 Wide Front Bumper
The Traxxas Stampede 4x4 is a cool truck with lots of nice features built in, but it’s missing one critical piece – some serious front-end protection. Not anymore! Our Wide Front Bumper for the Traxxas Stampede 4x4 is designed to fill that vacancy. Our bumper uses the same design principles and styling as those found on our 2wd Stampede Front Bumper, the most popular front bumper RPM has ever produced. Why is it so popular? Because it works!

The RPM Wide Front Bumper is designed to protrude out in front of the truck far enough to be the first contact point during a frontal collision, yet is back far enough not to impede normal driving. When the inevitable front-end impact occurs. Our bumper will take the brunt of the force, absorbing that impact energy by deforming under the pressure, and then when the crash concludes, the bumper will return to its original shape, ready for action once again. With an RPM Wide Front Bumper installed, more fragile chassis and front differential components have a much better survival rate under even the roughest bash sessions.

RPM Wide Front Bumpers for the Traxxas Stampede 4x4 are stock replacement parts. Simply remove the stock front skid plate, replace it with the RPM version and you're ready to go. It even incorporates the mounting points for the stock upper bumper, if you wish to keep it in place.

Traxxas Slash 4x4 Front or Rear A-arms
Also fits the Stampede 4x4
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 & Stampede 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 or Stampede 4x4) due to strengthening designs that reduce the clearance around the rear axle.

Roof-Mounted Light Bar Set
(fits most Short Course Bodies with a min. 6" of roof width)

Our Roof-Mounted Light Bar Set looks just like the roof light sets of current Baja 1000 trucks. It incorporates six of our light canisters (the same used in the front bumper light set of RPM #80982 & #80983). Each of the six canisters is capable of holding a high intensity, 3mm LED (not included) for the ultimate in nighttime off-road racing experiences. What’s best? These light sets will fit all current 1/10th and most 1/8th scale (although specifically designed for 1/10th scale) “Short Course”-style bodies! That’s right, they will fit the Traxxas Slash, Slash 4x4, Associated SC10, Losi Strike & HPI Blitz to name just a few.

The goal of our Roof-Mounted Light Set was to recreate a scale version of those light bars found in full-sized night racing while striving for some reasonable amount of crash-survivability. What we came up with is a light mount set that uses a unique hinge-based system that in the event of a roll-over, the light bar will collapse against the body to help reduce impact damage. The light set is designed to bolt to the front windshield of the truck (although with sufficient room, it can be mounted to the rear window as well), keeping the profile low and in the perfect position to light up the night! A pair of large backing plates are supplied that help protect the body where the screws hold the light bar in place.

We mold these light bar sets in black, chrome and blue to match or contrast any paint or color scheme.

Each kit comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware, light canisters, molded parts and instructions. The instructions also show how to easily create your own LED light set-up with a few basic electronics skills, some tools and a little patience.

Suggestions: If you don't want to build a set of LED lights yourself, please consider these options for drop-in light sets for the RPM Roof-Mounted Light Bar Set.

• RC-Lights makes a pair of drop-in kits specifically for our Roof-Mounted Light Sets using the main battery pack for power. A stand alone kit for the roof lights can be found here. If you already have our front bumper light set and an RC-Lights front bumper light set, an add on kit can be found here. RC-Lights is offering $30.00 off any full LED lighting system to RPM customers. Simply mention the code 'RPM' at checkout.
  
  

• RC4WD also makes a 10 light LED kit specifically for our light kits that also uses the main battery pack for power. LED's are removable if you prefer to run 4 or 6 LED's instead of all 10.

What's Included: 1 - Light Bar, 1 Canister Mounting Plate, 2 - Body Mounts, 2 - Backing Plates, 6 Light Canisters, 6 - Lenses, 6 - Light Guards, 1 Mounting Hole Drill Template, all necessary hardware and complete instructions for assembly.
Chrome light bars come with chrome light canisters. Both black and blue light bars come with black light canisters. 

Tech Notes: LED lights are not included. The RPM Roof-Mounted Light Bar Set can fit any number of applications as long as there is at least 6” of roof width for the light bar body mounts to fit in place. Due to the scale appearance of this light bar set, we cannot properly strengthen all aspects of the lights. Therefore, some warranty restrictions may apply. See instructions for complete details.

Two Stage Shock Pistons (Med. - Heavy)
True performance lies in the ability to dial in your suspension. If you’re an intermediate to expert suspension technician, then you have the ability to take your suspension to a new level. Introducing RPM’s two stage shock pistons. In a compressed state, the two halves press together to meter the shock fluid through two holes. As the suspension unloads (in the standard config.), the two plates separate, allowing the fluid to flow through multiple holes, which returns the shock to static position at a higher rate. These pistons are the closest things that R/C can get to full sized racing. Don’t be fooled, even the fastest racers in the world are using them, the trick is to get them to admit it! After all, if everyone used them, who would gain the advantage? Maybe you? This set includes twelve piston sets, three sets of four pistons. (red, green, & purple) Best used on tracks with moderate to major obstacles, or on heavier vehicles. Check out our Piston FAQ page for more information.

Tech Notes: These pistons only fit stock, molded Traxxas shock bodies. Traxxas Big Bore Shocks will require some slight sanding with a fine grit sand-paper on the outside diameter of the pistons to get them to fit properly.

Snap Tite Body Savers
One of the weakest points on a Lexan body is where the body mounts to the chassis. The holes cut in the body for the body posts have a tendency to crack & fracture. This is the reason RPM designed these cool body savers. With their ideal two piece design, it allows one piece to slide through the bottom of the body while the second piece snaps into place from the top of the body. These body savers stay right where you put them, on the body, so you never have to worry about chasing them around! Improve the life of your body significantly with a set of these Body Saver Washers installed!
These body savers fit 1/4" or 6mm dia. body posts such as those found on the Traxxas Slash, Slash 4x4, Traxxas Slayer, many Losi 1/10th scale vehicles and most sedan 6mm. body posts. Molded in black nylon or a dyeable white, these Snap-Tite Body Saver Washers will match or contrast any paint scheme you create!

What's Included: Sold in sets of five body savers in each package. That's four for the body posts and one for either the antenna hole or a transponder mount.

Tech Notes: RPM Body Saver Washers have been tested to fit stock Slash and Slash 4x4 bodies. Due to the variety and amount of bodies available, we cannot guarantee they will work with all aftermarket bodies.
