The 416-17 foam bumper is a race-oriented replacement for the Tamiya TRF 416, designed to act as a sacrificial impact absorber that helps protect front bulkhead areas and body mounts while preserving factory geometry.
Installation aligns with the TRF 416 front mounts and uses the existing bumper bracket for a direct swap. No additional hardware is normally necessary, and service procedures are limited to inspection and replacement after sustained damage or compression.
From a setup perspective the bumper is a protection component rather than an adjustable tuning item; its condition can influence how impact energy is transmitted into the chassis, so inspect and replace between events as required for consistent behaviour on track.
Manufactured to match TRF 416 mounting points for a direct foam bumper swap-in and straightforward track-side servicing.
