Ramcharger Bumpers

[2wheeler]

Got a Proline Ramcharger body on an SCX10.2 but the body is so big, I can't find a front bumper that fits. If nobody has one readily available, is there somebody that can custom make one that fits nicely?

Proline told me not to run bumpers with mine, front or rear. There aren't any that fit.

Yeah.... figures. The poor lexan body is going to take a beating

What about the SSD Rock Shield wide bumpers? Or the VS-410 bumpers? Not sure how wide that body is. I have the SSD rear, I can measure for you. I also have the VS-410 bumpers if you need dimensions on those as well.

The full front is 8" wide. But I'de be okay with cutting the ends off a narrower bumper just to make it fit. Proline used tp make a wide bumper set but its been discontinued. Ridge-Line Bumper #6089-00

The SSD rear is 8" wide. My front bumper which is Scaler Fab iirc is also 8". Both on my 10ii

Shapeways has the bumpers designed specifically for that body.

This is awesome! I've had a Ramcharger body still sitting in the plastic bag for over a year. I'm going to order these bumpers from shapeways and get after it. I like to change bodies on my trucks. Keeps me from getting bored with it

Glad it helped. There are some other items there for the Ramcharger also.

I knew about those bumpers. They just glue on over the lexan body... is that effective? I was thinking of a more traditional frame mounted bumper but I will look into the Shapeways bumpers as well. Thanks

Alright... I bit the bullet and ordered bumpers, grill, and lights from Shapeways.... Thanks for your help

If you end up destroying them, you may want to just bolt up the SSD TRX-4/SCX10II bumper shown here (I have one on my Defender, just about the simplest bumper sold anywhere, but strong as hell!):

You could strip it and polish it or something...
