TRAXXAS Rustler VXL Front Alloy Bumper RUS003F upgrade by GPM  [RUS003F]

Front alloy bumper for Rustler VXL

This 1/10-scale alloy front bumper is an aftermarket upgrade that fits the TRAXXAS Rustler VXL using the stock mounting points. It offers a tougher alternative to the factory plastic bumper for drivers who do scale bashing or want a firmer front feel.

Because the bumper is metal, it produces a stiffer impact response compared with plastic, which may change how the vehicle reacts in collisions and during cornering setup. This can be beneficial when you need a more consistent front-end contact surface for tuning.

Installation is aimed at hobbyists with basic skills: remove the original bumper, install this unit using the factory holes and compatible hardware, and double-check screw lengths and thread engagement before tightening. Ensure clearance with the servo, ESC and suspension components.

Useful setup tips:

• Make sure the bumper lines up with the factory screws and does not block servo horn travel.
• Test full suspension articulation for any contact and reposition mount if required.
• Replace any worn fasteners with correct-length hex screws to keep the bumper secure.
