ScalEvolution - RokCountry Bumpers

[JasonC]

I have been a member here for over a year, but I have normally just looked on and learned from other peoples builds.

I saw an opening for a cool scale bumper that would hold up to abuse. So I set out in designing one that will not only look good and it will not snap at the first impact or being put under some stress.

I do not have feedback on this site, but I do on other forums, so please if you want to check out some feedback, please pm me and I will give you a link to my feedback thread.

So the brand name is ScalEvolution as I hope to bring out more scale parts in the near future.

Here are the Delrin RokCounty Bumpers:

You can see holes in the back of the bumpers, these are the mounting holes. Since people use so many different chassis setups, it was hard to make these work for more then one setup at a time. The solution was to add all of these different mounting point. This way, it can fit on different width frames and the height can be adjusted as well.

The holes are made to fit M3 hardware.

Here is what the actual back of the bumpers look like:

I wanted to incorporate the use of shackles into the bumpers. But making these out of Delrin just would not cut it. They would work for looks, but if you put any real force onto them, they were just going to snap.

So I created an aluminum tow loop that slides into the front of the bumper and is then secured in place by an M3 bolt on the back.

Here is a rendering:

Here you can see the tow loops:

If you want to run a winch, the 3Racing bracket fits on there nicely. The bumper being delrin, all you need to do is mark the location you want the winch and drill your holes down into the material.

Here is the bottom plate of the winch sitting on the bumper:

Do you include the shackles? :)

[JasonC]

Cool. I'll have to check that width and se if it'll fit how I'd like.

Definiitely interseted in a link to those shackles in your pics. I have some from a few different places...but they don't look as scale as those. "thumbsup"

[JasonC]

New price folks!

$70 for a set of bumpers

[wojin]

would you be willing to do custom widths? i am looking for the same withd as the Hilux grill, so it doesnt stick out, and a really narrow rear(like 4.5-5in so it fits between the wheels)

[JasonC]

Let me look into it, if you could shoot me a pm with the widths I would have a better idea on what I can do.
