Default New Bumper

So here is my first shot at brazing. In my opinion the SCX is just begging for a bumper and I wanted to try some home fab options. It's minimal but again my first attempt.


I used some 1/4 tubing and alum C to make a mount for the frame

Trimmed it back and added the actual the other pieces

After about 20 minutes of running one of my weak brazes broke.. but I fixed it again already. Durability is questionable.

It looks good, you did great on the shaping of the tubes.

Just drilled two holes for 10/32 bolts through the front of the stock plastic piece.

Thanks for the compliments, I have been finding out the design needs some work however as it broke again ! It sticks out front too far also limiting the approach angle.
