| Enduro Bronco bumper fitment help
can't raise the height of the body anymore at the rear as the body posts are at their maximum height. The front could go two holes higher but the truck is sitting about level now. I also like the ride height anyway. What's the best way to mount these bumpers? 1. Some how fabricate a bumper drop down for the front and a bigger drop down and extension for the rear? 2. Somehow mount the bumpers directly to the bod? 3. Other? Something I've completely over looked? 😂 Also, is there a converter from square Traxxas bumper posts to round ones? |

Bumpers are always best mounted to frame. That way they act as armor, which they are. If just a light plastic bumper for looks, you could just glue it on the body I suppose. Certainly bending some metal to serve as a bumper mount is a good option. Should be able to do that with simple tools.

Know anyone with a 3D printer and the ability to draw parts? I came across this same issue on my Enduro. I found SSD low-profile bumpers for the SCX-10ii that I really liked, but the mount would not work with the Enduro chassis. I drew up the bumper mount in Fusion 360 and printed it, easy-peasy. If this is not an option, recommend finding an aluminum bumper mount for the Enduro, and modifying it to accept they Bronco bumper. Here is what I did for my Enduro, the bumper starts on post #16: GreatScott's Element Kit |

I've actually recently bought a 3D printer and learning just the printing side of things. Harder than I expected! I've yet to try any CAD software to design something but a drop down mount and slightly longer posts (and are round rather than Traxxas square). It's suprising there isn't any off the shelf solutions. If I could mount the body higher the bumpers would work, apart from been square posts and rear too short but then you end up with a silly looking jacked up body. I like my truck bodies low and low suspension! Any suggestions on a newbie friendly CAD software? I'll also read your thread. Cheers. |

When you start doing custom mods, a lot of times there are not off-the-shelf solutions for what you are trying to do. That is just the nature of the hobby, that SSD bumper on my Enduro is a perfect example. Quote:
I did splurge and buy good slicer software, I paid $150 for Simplify 3D, and it has been worth every penny. It automatically corrects a lot of the issues that other people have with Cura, and other free slicers. | |||
