Default bumper for the caddy

I built a bumper last night and this morning. I was going to add a single loop inside the body for a little extra structure, but after testing having the fenders exo'd really helps with body stiffness. The stinger helps A LOT with coming forward to steep and flipping the helps get up some rocks where before the body would just flex and bind...

oh and I dont need front body clips anymore!! its a little tight getting the body in but not hard. Im planning on supporting it across directly above the servo that way I can have my battery as far forward as possible..

enjoy!

thanks!

thats kinda what I was going for,but I really just thought itd be funny to have an escalade crawler..

it actually has a better roll back over than my buddies VW ax10, theres hardly ever a time with these tires and that body that it wont flip itself back over. Ive been very pleased so far.
