Default sweet cheap bumper for jero

I have been looking for a good looking bumper that is different than the ones I usually see. I ordered a summit bumper and with a little trimming it fits like a glove, looks good to. Acts like a skid plate and bumper in one. I'll post some pics as soon as I am on a PC.

And it was only 8 dollars shipped, I may try the rear aswell. the pics arent great, ill try to take better ones when its sunny but it looks a lot better in person. No clerance issues and im running 110mm tires. Aproch angle looks good to and so far it has eleminated my need for a skid.

I can but it will be a while, im at work. but i just trimmed up the inside of the bumper to clear the front body mount area and drilled two holes and bolted it through where the stock one mounts, fairly easy. You can see the hex head machine screws next to the molded "shackle mounts". I almost bought a rc4wd bumper then I saw this and figured for the price it was worth a shot.

i had mine bolted to what was left of my front brick through the mounting holes on the bumper but after 2 runs it fatigued the plastic so much it broke the front of the tub off lol so i gotta make a stronger metal mount to distribute the load of me crashing into stuff

The only reason i haven't made a bumper is that mount.When i find another
way to mount the body i'm going to chop the front bumper.

Right now it is attached to the body with 2 bolts and a lot of shoe goo. Moved the servo up front so I hat to put body posts in the hood. Bumpers still holding on tight.

Nice! I was trying to figure out how to build one for my CC01. I think I will go this route instead!
