About this part

The DE Racing BumpSkid for the Associated RC8B3 Buggy combines a superior front skid plate with a refined front bumper to create the ultimate in protection, performance, and styling. DE Racing has always said they believe a car’s chassis is not a wear item. The “BumpSkid” further reinforces that concept by providing high performance protection for the front of your expensive 1/8 scale buggy or truggy chassis.

This bumper works and protects way better than the stock front bumper on the Associated B4E and protects the chassis and B block a lot from getting worn out as bad.

JamieVerified owneron DE Racing BumpSkid (Associated RC8B3)

This isn't the strongest bumper I've ever used, but the only option really.. I can confirm it fits on the RC8T4.

Eric MullinsVerified owneron DE Racing BumpSkid (Associated RC8B3)

Works great, installation is easy, adds protection and bumpers are a must for 1/8 buggy!

James WilliamsVerified owneron DE Racing BumpSkid (Associated RC8B3)

The DE BumpSkid's are great no matter what 1/8 car you have. They provide a lot of protection to the front of the chassis when taking off from jumps. I would prefer it be a bit longer and cover the kickup of the chassis. The chassis still rubs at the kick up.

Fits great and provides great chassis protection .

What reviewers say

Reviewers generally praise the DE Racing BumpSkid for adding front chassis protection, with several noting it guards against wear and damage when landing jumps. Installation is described as easy and the bumper is reported to fit the Associated RC8B3 well. Some reviewers say it is not especially strong but is a practical option, and one notes it also fits the RC8T4. A recurring criticism is that the bumper is somewhat short and does not cover the chassis kickup, where rubbing is still reported. Several reviews are brief, and the sample is small.

  • + Good front chassis protection
  • + Easy installation
  • + Fits the RC8B3 well
  • + Protects better than stock bumper
  • − Not especially strong
  • − Too short, leaves kickup exposed
  • − Chassis still rubs at kickup
