is there such a thing as bump stops for an rc like there is for 1:1 crawlers and other rigs. i imagine you could make them out of small shocks with ruber tips on the shaft end. if ya dont know what they are they limit or "stop" travle/articulation. that would be cool

Most people use fuel tubing on the shock shaft, although a tiny shock would probably look more scale.

i kind of knew that. people use limiting straps to hey?

Yup limiting straps are used for a more scale look. Fuel tubing also works well for limiting shock travel.

I think he's talking about making scale "air" bumps like these

tiny little air bumps would look awesome on a trophy truck scaler! something like this:

ya sorry i wasnt clear on that part. i think they would look cool on any rig

here is an idea: cut down some high lift shocks and use a rubber seal from a applicator syringe (for oil and cleaner and glue and what not) to be the rubber bumper on the end.

cool, you would need to make a second mount for the bump stop so it doesnt move 2 mount insted of the one shock mount.
