Front Bumper and Skid Plate: ARRMA V5 KRATON 6S BLX & EXB

Overview

The RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate for the ARRMA Kraton 6S has been updated to work with all current versions, from the V5 and EXB editions as well as older models. The differential clearance area has been widened for the larger differential hump found on the V5. Additionally, RPM is now including a hinge pin retainer plate so no additional parts are necessary to run the RPM front bumper.

Just like the previous version, the Kraton 6S Front Bumper is structurally engineered to add much needed impact-absorption to the front of the Kraton. The RPM front bumper dramatically reduces transferred impact forces to the chassis. Additionally, the two-piece design incorporates a 4mm thick skid plate with 1.5mm skid ribs, extending more than 1-1/2” (38mm) in front of the chassis and protects the front of that expensive aluminum chassis from skid and impact damage. RPM then bolt a huge, 3/8” x 1/2" x 6-3/4” (9.5mm x 12.7mm x 171.5mm) curved oval bumper on top to help protect the body as well.

Each RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate is molded in black from RPM’s exclusive blend of engineering grade nylons for unmatched strength and durability. All RPM molded products are 100% made in the USA and backed by our limited lifetime warranty against breakage.

Tech Notes: The RPM Front Bumper and Skid Plate is designed specifically for the ARRMA Kraton V5 and EXB, yet will fit most ARRMA vehicles (V5 and older) running stock gearbox case set #AR310854 or #AR310427 and any Durango vehicle running stock gearbox case set #TD210046. Unfortunately, RPM cannot guarantee proper body clearance with any ARRMA / Durango vehicle not listed here (some body trimming may be necessary to clear the bumper on those vehicles).

The RPM81812 will be replacing RPM81472.
