| Gen 8 V2 Bumper Choices
Long time listener, first time caller...... I broke the stock front bumper on my gen 8 and I am looking for a good replacement. I do not have a printer so that limits my choices a bit, any recommendations? |

the problem with the cheap chy-na bumpers is most of them are just white pot metal and will break rather easily. I got one of them and think I'm going to sell it and make my own tube bumpers for the F and B. Get what you pay for. A CNC Billet bumper would be 100.00 or more after the CNC machining.

WOW!!!!!! You're right........100 bucks(funny)....about 230.00 for the truck itself(makes sense). For 100.00 bucks I got me the bumper, jconcepts body, spray paint, sand paper, windshield wipers, rear view mirror, blue dice,....and the winch......but, your right " you do get what you pay for"??!!!

when you buy a 30.00 bumper and it breaks on the 3rd hit. and buy a 2nd one, which breaks on the 6th hit.... and get to get a 3rd, You basically already put that 100.00 bumper on your 200.00 rc. PS> Dont ever look at a brushless setup. lol Ya, I do like the look of the stock bumper and so far its been doing well. I may just buy a spare stocker and call it the day. I don't trust this one I got for it. Looks great, but with my 11 lb AXE, one good hit and its a gonner. |

People are breaking bumpers? This is a thing? I cracked one that I 3D printed out of PLA... but break a metal one? What are y'all up to out there?

| Re: Gen 8 V2 Bumper Choices Many of these cheap chy-na bumpbers are thin white pot metal. Not very strong structurally and can/will crack easily.

Thanks for the options guys! I ended up going with new stock replacement. Quote:
