New from RPM RC is this Motor Protector for the Traxxas Bandit, Rustler, and Stampede. It can work on the Traxxas Slash with the removal of the rear bumper.

Gotta love 2009 already. AMA Supercross is the first “big name” racing to kick off the new year, and their season opener last weekend in Anaheim was one for the ages. James Stewart could’a, would’a, should’a PWNED. But, after some brain fade and/or Yamabog, he took out arch rival Chad Reed (and eventually Kevin Windham), and finished the first round [...]
RPM RC has just announced their Black Revolver 2.2″ Truck Wheels for the Traxxas e-Rustler, e-Stampede and HPI RS4-MT. The advantage to a molded black wheel is the constant color throughout the wheel. If you get a scratch or ding, it will be less noticeable because the color is always there. These wheels also fall under [...]
New from RPM RC is this mount for a rear bumper or wheelie bar for the Traxxas Slash, Electric Rustler, Stampede or Bandit. The RPM mount has more mounting screws to keep that hinge effect from happening like on the original mount and also reduce impact energy. The new design means no more slotted parts hanging below [...]
