HOP-UP: T-Bone Basher Front Bumper
Price: $13.65 (F040)
Add another level of protection to the chassis of the Traxxas Stampede with a big bumper like this one from T-Bone Racing. The Basher Front Bumper is made of a resilient composite plastic that can stand up to serious abuse. It is also simple to install by bolting it right onto the underside of the chassis utilizing the stock holes.

Price: $6.95 (80522)
RPM makes many different aftermarket parts for the Traxxas Stampede and we really like the sealed gear cover. They are available in black, blue or green, are easy to install and help protect your gears from dirt and grime. It also features an oversized opening to access the slipper clutch and gives you more clearance for using larger pinions.
