Was wondering if you have the stinger done yet? I know I will be ordering one when they are finished. Joe |

When the new parts come in I will test fit them and then run them to make sure they are durable enough. Once I am confident they will hold up and they fit right I will make them available. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

| 3D Stinger Bumper VTH
Got the new bumper in the other day and had time to mount it up and take pics. So here it is. The Red is the new angle of the screw and the Green is the old angle. Last edited by Di_Spencer; 10-10-2015 at 02:29 PM. |

Could you mount it on your TH so that we can get a better view on how it looks? Thanks Joe |

My TH is in for some home brew upgrades right now and is taken apart but you can look at the pics on the first page of the thread. That is the older version but I looks almost exactly the same as the new one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Last edited by Di_Spencer; 10-10-2015 at 06:38 PM. | |

How did the bumper fare in durability testing ? Is anyone running this stinger?

Hi guys, I'm going to revive this thread again as I had a couple members show interest in these bumpers a bit ago. I wasn't happy with the original design so I revamped it and had it printed in shapeways' amazing new HP Strong and Flexible nylon. Here are some pics. Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk |

Looks very interesting! I tried to search it on Shapeways but could not find it. Have you got a link? Also, someone said before that it would be good to see it mounted on the TH. have you got any photos that you can post? Thanks! |

Here is the Baracus approved second incarnation of the Di_Spencer Stinger. Apparently more durable than the first version(which I have not managed to break) |

I just received my stinger not too long ago and sadly it was on its 3d run yesterday. Car did a somersault and this is the end result. Hope the new material is more durable. |

Also, on a different note. I'm also working on some knuckles that use a larger outer bearing as well as have some mounts for rcbros knuckle weights. To compliment those I'm also going to try out making some screw pins to replace the crappy stock kingpin design. I know there are 1 or 2 others with one of the bumpers so if that's you pls post up and let me know how they are holding up for you. It would be really helpful as I design the new version.

The stinger sure looks great. I've a lot of experience with printed parts, inc Shapeways HP strong and flexible - i'm sorry to say, you are asking an awful lot of it in this application. A front bumper must be the higest load part on a truck by a very large margin.

I went through the same thing myself trying to develop a fully upright suspension setup. I thew a load of plastic in it, but a hard impact on the exposed shock towers could still break it. Given how expensive they were to print, there's no way I wanted to sell them if they could be broken like that. I reckon the printed steel bumper could do great. I love the steel bits I've done. Like you say, they are just a bit pricey. James Knight does a great looking range of steel bumpers for scx10. |
