Similar to RPM's original Losi Baja Rey Front Bumper (RPM #73742), this iteration of the Baja Rey Front Bumper is designed to work with the F0RD Raptor body from Losi. RPM incorporated all of the key design features from the original RPM Baja Rey Bumper / skid plate into this version. A key improvement moved the skid plate from between the chassis plate and differential to below the aluminum chassis plate. This move solved a couple of problems. First, the aluminum chassis plate now has some serious RPM skid protection where it had none before! Next, and more importantly, it allowed us the freedom to create a flex zone on the skid plate that would allow more impact absorption in impact situations, ultimately saving you from costly repairs. RPM redesigned the bumper as well, creating an additional flex zone that allows the bumper to compress under extreme impacts, yet return back to its original shape once the impact energy has dissipated. This flex zone protects the more fragile front differential and chassis plate since the bumper now absorbs the impact instead of transferring that energy into the chassis. They also made the bumper thicker than stock, meaning it can take more impacts over the entire width of the bumper without failing. - Skid plate mounts below the chassis for extreme front chassis protection - Multiple flex zones for better impact absorption - Less chance of front impacts damaging internal components - Replaces stock Losi #LOS231058
