The narrower front-end appears on-point and with an all-new grille and headlight layout with 4 included grille options. One of the key features is an arrow based design where the front is much narrower than the rear. As they say, the slate was once again swiped clean and the F2 was a ground up form started in the computer and ultimately finished by hand.

Now, Traxxas Rustler drivers can drop-on a race favorite design to their bash vehicle of choice. Simple, yet effective.The F2 body by JConcepts has been a trend setting design since its release on the buggy population. The design is based on a very simple pair of mounts, affixed using stock locations, that allows an adjustable Traxxas wheelie bar (Traxxas #3678 – not included) to bolt to the Rustler 4×4. RPM has eliminated the rear bumper wheelie bar entirely! Instead, they wanted to have more adjustability and a solid mount that allows a wheelie bar to work properly.

The issue is that the bumper wheelie bar mount is simply too flexible to allow the wheelie bar to work effectively, yet still fragile to the point of needing assistance. There have been several reported durability and performance issues with the stock bumper wheelie bar mount on the Rustler 4×4. Even if the bottom of the mounting holes in the body are completely ripped out from prior crashes, this body saver system still works! These Body Savers tie two pairs of screws together, dispersing the pressure of holding the body to the sub-frame over a much wider area of the body. There are two pairs of screws holding the sub-frame of the body mounting system to the body in both the front and rear of the truck. It’s a perfect way to camouflage their intended purpose and still keep the body firmly attached to the chassis. While in the rear, they look like exposed sections of a roll cage. From the front side, they look like molded hood vents. These Body Savers have been designed not to look like what they are intended for, to give your RC an upgraded look. RPM Body Savers for the Rustler 4×4 are a simple, yet smart solution to solve that problem. RPM body savers will save you from using those thick and ugly body washers or buying a new body altogether. If you have pulled any of the body mounting screws through the body, then this is a great solution.

The body mounting screw holes create a weak spot in the body and can make the body crack and the screws can pull through the body. Recently RPM has released some new replacement parts for the Traxxas Rustler 4×4. RPM suspension arms are a must for durability. Now, try that with the stock ones and you’ll just hurt your fingers trying. They are so flexible, you can flex them with your hands and let them go, they will spring back in to position. These arms are made of strong, durable plastics. RPM suspension arms directly replace the stock arms on the Rustler 4×4 vxl. RPM RC Products have replacement suspension arms that are available in several color options.

This added durability you will get from using RPM RC Replacement Parts. The stock suspension arms are to stiff and brittle to handle the abuse. If you bash hard and jump with this beast, then you should be thinking of upgrading the suspension. With the extreme power and performance of the Rustler it can use some added durability.
