RPM Front Bumper & Skid Plate For Losi Baja Rey

When RPM's engineers took a look at the stock front bumper and skid plate on a Losi Baja Rey, they recognized that the front skid plate was too stiff, preventing the bumper from soaking up impacts. Their option included more than simply an easy skid plate redesign. They moved the entire skid plate from in between the chassis plate and differential to listed below the aluminum chassis plate. This move solved a few problems. Initially, the aluminum chassis plate now has some severe RPM skid protection where it had none prior to! Next, and more notably, it allowed the liberty to produce a flex zone on the skid plate that would enable more movement of the bumper in effect situations, ultimately saving you from pricey repairs.

The skid plate isn't the only location RPM looked to improve strength and durability. They redesigned the bumper as well-strengthening the install in between the skid plate and bumper, therefore producing another flex zone that enables the bumper to compress under severe impacts yet return back to its original shape once the effect energy has actually dissipated. This ability to compress also protects the more delicate areas of the truck such as the front differential and chassis plate given that the bumper now absorbs the effect instead of transferring that energy into the chassis. They also made the bumper thicker than stock, implying it can take more impacts over the entire width of the bumper without failing.
