One of the most highly sought-after RPM parts is finally here! The RPM Front Bulkhead for 1:10 scale Traxxas 2wd vehicles is the ultimate in design, strength and durability.

Our engineers reviewed the stock front bulkhead and found something curious. The stock front bulkhead does not sit flat, which can seriously affect suspension settings and adjustments! The RPM Front Bulkhead sits flawlessly level, meaning your front kick angle and A-arm angles will be perfect, providing a superior platform for precise suspension adjustments.

We also cored out the bottom of the bulkhead. Why? First and foremost, it helps the bulkhead sit flat. Next, it significantly reduces the weight of the bulkhead. Our version is more that 15% lighter* than stock! By coring out the bottom of the bulkhead, it allows a convenient place to stick some modeling clay to adjust the weight bias of the truck. Leave the weight out if you want the front light; add it in if you want it heavier. We also include a handy dust plate to cover the bottom of the bulkhead on vehicles such as the Rustler, Stampede and Bandit that leave the bottom exposed. The dust plate prevents build-up of dirt and debris, which could affect the handling and weight of the truck.

Each RPM Front Bulkhead is built from our bulletproof blend of engineering grade nylons, made right here in the USA and comes with our limited lifetime warranty against breakage. If you want strength you can count on and engineering you can trust, look no further than RPM!

Tech Notes: RPM Front Bulkheads for 2wd Traxxas 1:10 scale vehicles are stock replacement parts and replace stock Traxxas #2530 & #2530A. This bulkhead fits the following vehicles: Slash 2wd, Nitro Slash, Bandit, electric Rustler, nitro Rustler, nitro Stampede & electric Stampede 2wd (including its variants, the Skully and Craniac). It does not fit the 4×4 versions of any of these vehicles.

* Weight comparison is based off of the stock bulkhead versus the RPM Front Bulkhead without the dust plate installed.

Black ESC Cage for Castle Mamba Monster 2, Mamba Monster X & Traxxas MXL-6S ESCs
#73622, $10

The RPM ESC Cage is designed to simplify ESC installation and maintenance of the E-Maxx, E-Revo and Summit, as well as adding versatility by allowing quick removal of the ESC. Our cage encases the ESC body only, leaving the ESC fan free to do its job. Furthermore, we left air channels along both sides of the ESC to allow air movement along the sides of the case, helping to keep the ESC cool.

With the stock Traxxas ESC, there’s no solid mount available when you need to remove the ESC fan, like when you’re running in the wet or in the snow. That’s not a problem with the RPM ESC Cage. Simply remove two screws, unhook the fan, reinstall those two screws and you’re off; with the solid assurance RPM’s Cage is still holding tight to that valuable Castle ESC.

We include a separate on / off switch mount that bolts directly to our cage in one of two locations for extra versatility. Since the switch attaches to the cage, no extra time is needed to remove it during maintenance or if you decide to swap the ESC between vehicles.

Our ESC Cage fits the Castle Mamba Monster X & Mamba Monster 2 ESCs, as well as the Traxxas MXL-6S ESC and fits in the stock location on the Traxxas E-Maxx, E-Revo and Summit.

Each RPM ESC Cage is manufactured from our ridiculously tough blend of engineering grade nylons for a lifetime of worry-free performance. Each cage is molded in black and backed by our limited lifetime warranty against breakage.

Tech Notes: The RPM ESC Cage for the Mamba Monster 2 & Mamba Monster X series ESCs works with Castle #010-0108-00, # 010-0108-01, # 010-0108-02, # 010-0145-00, # 010-0145-01 & # 010-0145-02 as well as the Traxxas MXL-6S ESC #3377. It has not been tested to fit on the original version of the Mamba Monster ESC. While our ESC Cage will fit a variety of applications, they have been tested and guaranteed to fit the following Traxxas vehicles in stock form only – E-Maxx, E-Revo & Summit.
