This aftermarket nerf bar set is made for the TRAXXAS HOSS 4X4 VXL platform and is supplied by GPM as model HS014L. It is an RC-scale accessory intended to mount on both sides of the chassis to provide physical protection and a distinct visual profile.
Construction uses aluminum 6061 T6, a light alloy noted for good tensile strength in hobby-scale parts, and the pieces are formed with a 3D streamline profile described by the manufacturer. The package is a longer version designed to cover more side area compared with standard-length nerf bars.
Practical role and fitment: these nerf bars serve to shield the chassis side rails and lower body panels from impacts, snags, and abrasion during off-road operation, while also contributing to the vehicle's side-to-side appearance. They replace the standard side protection on compatible HOSS 4X4 VXL builds and mount to both sides of the chassis using the supplied fasteners.
For hobbyists running TRAXXAS HOSS 4X4 VXL chassis who need extended side protection and a streamlined aluminum look, this GPM HS014L longer nerf bar set provides a straightforward replacement option that mounts to both chassis sides and includes mounting screws.
