Technical Performance
This rear bumper accessory is manufactured by Axial with the same precision engineering standards applied to their complete vehicles. The RockBrawler bumper is constructed from injection-molded plastic that balances weight savings with durability—critical factors when running hardcore off-road courses where your bumper will encounter rocks, roots, and rough terrain regularly. The high-clearance geometry has been specifically calculated for the 1/10-scale SCX10 platform, ensuring that the bumper provides genuine protection to rear components whilst maintaining the aggressive approach and departure angles that characterise authentic rock crawlers. The swing-out tire carrier mechanism operates smoothly and reliably, locking securely in both deployed and stowed positions. The integrated D-ring tabs are reinforced mounting points designed to withstand genuine recovery forces, and they work in conjunction with the substantial plastic bumper structure to distribute impact loads effectively. The recessed light buckets are precision-moulded to accept Axial's LED light systems and lenses, which means installation of lighting is straightforward and results in a factory-finished appearance. All mounting hardware is included and engineered for the specific mounting points on the SCX10 chassis, ensuring a secure, rattle-free fit that will withstand the rigours of serious off-road use season after season.
