Head Guard for Traxxas 2.5 Engine Heads

 The RPM Head Guard was designed to withstand the toughest of rollover crashes and beg for more. Our head protector has an additional 0.100” or almost 1/8” of additional thickness on top to add extra skid and impact resistance to the fragile cooling fins of the stock Traxxas 2.5 head. Additionally, our Head Guard has a positive locking system that absolutely will not allow the Head Guard to pull itself free during a crash.

The RPM Head Guard is designed specifically for the Traxxas 2.5 stock engine head which is currently used in many Traxxas models including the Revo, T-Maxx, S-Maxx, SportMaxx, Jato, Nitro 4-Tec 2.5, & Nitro Rustler 2.5. The RPM Head Guard comes with a full set of screws as well as complete installation instructions. They are available in Black, Blue, & Dyeable Silver and are molded in our trademark blend of bulletproof nylons for strength and durability unmatched by any other material on the market!

T/E-Maxx 1.5 & 2.5 Axle Carriers
T-Maxx 2.5R, T-Maxx 3.3, E-Maxx 16.8 & E-Maxx Brushless Owners - Click Here for the proper Axle Carriers for your truck.

Stock bearings and axle carriers aren’t quite strong enough to handle the punishment T/E-Maxx owners dish out. In addition, more strength is needed at the axle carrier when offset wheels are used or when aluminum accessories and oversized wheels & tires add more weight and stress to the driveline. Once again, RPM steps in where no one else has! We have completely redesigned the axle carriers for the maximum amount of strength and durability and included some seriously beefy 15mm. bearings to top it all off! Check out this incredible list of features:

RPM Axle Carriers

• Stock replacement – no modifications necessary for RPM carriers to fit.

• Larger bearing bores that accept RPM Oversized 15mm. bearings.

• Includes four RPM 15mm. bearings in the kit – nothing more to buy.

• Beefier, thicker walls and ribs for the ultimate in crash protection.

• Double-ribbed steering arm / toe link arm for undeniably stronger and more rigid steering control and toe angle stability.

• Stepped front surface to prevent plastic wheels from hitting the axle carrier under high cornering & jumping loads.

• Molded from our bulletproof and lifetime guaranteed blend of nylons for unsurpassed breakage protection.

• Molded in black, blue, & purple, as well as a dyeable white, that will allow anyone the most versatility with respect to color choices.

RPM Oversized 15mm. Bearings

• A full 15mm. in diameter – that’s 3mm. larger than stock!

• 1mm. wider than stock bearings, with 2 bearings per axle, that’s an extra 2mm. per axle of contact with the axle shaft for smoother, longer-running performance.

• 100% Stainless steel construction for rust free dependability and its longer-wearing characteristics versus chrome steel bearings.

• RPM Bearings have friction-free blue nylon seals for the ultimate in dirt protection and can easily be cleaned using our RPM Bearing Blaster (#81170).

• Actual bearing ball diameters are a full 33% larger than stock.

• RPM oversized bearings have more than twice the load rating of stock chrome steel bearings and have over three times the fatigue life of stock as well!

• Prelubed with lightweight oil for efficient & minimal rolling resistance.

RPM axle carriers are sold in pairs. One truck will need two pairs to cover all four corners of a T/E-Maxx truck for complete, RPM bulletproof protection. RPM replacement oversized bearings are sold in sets of four bearings per package.

Tech Notes: Associated MGT owners can benefit from using RPM Steering Knuckles / Axle Carriers by combining these axle carriers with our #80010 Pillow Ball Setscrews & Bushing Caps. This package comes with spacers that prevent the bearings from binding on the MGT. Read more here.

RPM Recommendations: To prolong the life of your bearings, RPM recommends the use of our #81170 Bearing Blaster. For accurate camber adjustments, please consider the use of our #70950 Monster Camber Gauge.

T/E-Maxx Front & Rear Bumpers
(fits all versions of the T-Maxx & E-Maxx)

RPM bumpers are known for their strength and durability. Those same qualities are integrated into our newest bumpers for the T-Maxx & E-Maxx. These bumpers are not only the strongest bumpers made, they are extremely lightweight and have a scale, realistic appearance. Our front bumper adds extra protection with a lower, tubular bar extending down to help absorb impacts that would have been taken by the front skid plate alone. We’ve also strengthened the areas around the screw holes, eliminating a potential weak point. Our rear bumpers have the scale appearance of a step bumper found on most full-sized trucks. Our rear bumper weighs the same as a stock bumper, yet is stronger, and supports the rear skid plate for added rear-end protection. In addition, we’ve designed a recessed area where you, with a little creativity, can add in a customized, scale license plate or a ball hitch! All of our bumpers are offered in multiple color choices and are guaranteed not to break! All colored bumpers have the color molded in, not dyed, for long lasting color, even when scratched. Our "Chrome" finish bumpers are coated over our metallic silver bumper to help prevent nicks and scratches from showing through.

Don't forget to check out our FAQ page here to see what a little Rit dye can do to enhance the look of your silver or chrome bumpers.

Tech Notes: The RPM Rear Bumper may not work in conjunction with stock Traxxas wheelie bars.

T-Maxx & E-Maxx Skid / Wear Plates
- fits most versions of the Traxxas T-Maxx & E-Maxx
(E-Maxx #3905, T-Maxx #4908 & E-Maxx Brushless owners, see "Tech Notes" below
or click here for the proper skid plates for your truck.)

RPM is three steps closer to complete, bulletproof coverage of the T-Maxx & E-Maxx with our three skid / wear plates designed to protect the underside of these powerful monster trucks. RPM designers carefully scrutinized a well-run T-Maxx to see exactly where all of the major abrasion points along the bottom of the truck lie. It’s those areas that we concentrated our efforts for maximum protection. RPM skid / wear plates offer more outstanding features than anything else available such;

All skid / wear plates;

• Reduced sliding friction along smooth, grooved surfaces.
• Recessed screw holes preventing damage to the screw-heads.
• A unique, matched groove appearance from the front of the truck all the way to the rear.
• Outstanding wear resistance from RPM’s trademark blend of bulletproof nylons.
• Smooth radii in the front and rear to deflect even the most devastating of impacts.
• Packaged with all necessary mounting screws (heat-treated, flathead hex screws) and instructions.
• Pricing at a fraction of the cost of aluminum skid plates.
• 100% guaranteed against breakage!
• Available in black, blue, or purple!

Unique Center Skid Features

• Our center skid ties together the chassis braces for added strength and rigidity.
• Dirt and debris protection all along the drive-line - no holes for dirt to get through!
• We’ve extended the skid plate forward to protect the disc brake!
• Our center skid has been extended from the disc brake back the entire length of the chassis braces blending with our rear skid / wear plate, providing unmatched protection for the entire drive-line!

Competitive performance at intelligent prices. Nothing compares to the value and strength of RPM performance skid / wear plates.

Tech Notes: This RPM center skid plate is not compatible with the stretched chassis & chassis support rails of the 16.8V version of the E-Maxx (#3905) or the newest version of the T-Maxx 3.3 (#4908). For either of these vehicles, please click here our updated center skid plate.
