Your cart is empty.Designed from the ground up, the RPM Low Center of Gravity front bulkhead for the Traxxas Slash 4x4 & 1/10th scale Rally is here to solve several key issues reported to RPM by our customers. First, we split our design into two pieces, making maintenance a much simpler task. With the RPM design, the front end of the vehicle can be removed without having to remove the bell cranks. Simply remove the two tie rod screws at the spindle block and the steering system stays with the chassis. We've included several modifications that help keep the steering system remain cleaner as well. The first and most noticeable improvement comes from a pair of side dirt shields that blend with the chassis and help protect the steering servo/bell crank area from debris kicked up by the front wheels. We've also sealed the bottom of the bulkhead so debris can no longer enter from below.

I had to return these because my ex was not low center gravity. They look too be built well though

RPM claims that their two-piece design makes front-end disassembly easier—and it's true! Having the ability take of just part of the front end is helpful, though not necessarily a game changer.Quality wise, this is tough and feels just as strong, if not stronger than the stock Traxxas part. I don't baby my RCs and run them mostly in loose dirt and gravel. It's taken a beating, but hasn't cracked, chipped or bent. (See photos.)There is one major flaw: as a previous reviewer noted, the sides which enclose the servo linkage area 'protecting' it from debris—actually causes rocks and pebbles to become lodged which jambs up the steering. At best, this is a nuisance, and at worst—it could break the servo, especially if a rock lodges in the linkage before the servo-saver!My solution was taking a hacksaw and cutting off the side pieces. (See photos.) These are not structural elements, and won't cause any weakness in the bulkhead. Rock and stuff now fall out, as opposed to constantly jamming up the works. Cutting large holes in the base might prevent this even more, but I haven't needed to do that yet.If all of this seems like a hassle, stick with the stock Traxxas Part.

Way better design over stock. Closes up the gaps in the stock one to block out dirt and rocks from getting into your bellcranks. Also, the 2 pieces design makes disassembly very easy. It goes together and apart just as easy as the back end of the car now. Pro tip, drill a small hole in the button to allow pass-through for a screwdriver for the servo horn.

This bulkhead feels like an obvious upgrade from stock. I feel like the bell cranks are better protected, it feels stronger and more durable, and it's MUCH easier to take the front end off with this two piece design than it is with stock.
