Yeah Racing Stinger bumper - Kind of disappointment, it seems like it’s going to kill my approach angle. Suggestions are definitely welcome.

If you haven't already, you can flip the bumper mount to move the bumper higher up. If you've already done that, you can run a flipped rear mount in the front to get the bumper as high up as possible. Would probably need to cut the body.
 
Cutting the body is also a pretty good idea for added realism - too many R/C crawlers have that "bumper in front of original bumper" thing going on...

It should replace the original bumper, not be an additional one - but that's just my opinion!

"thumbsup"

(Great color choice, and the wheels are perfect for it)
 
I don't know how I didn't think about flipping the mount...I did it on my SCX24. I'll do that for sure and trim the body. Thanks to both of you!
