Default Wide front Bumper...Any ideas..??

Yes,...


My six year old Grandson is breaking things faster than I can find parts......Does anyone have an idea as to where I might find a Wide front bumper for my Losi MLST 2,...Which would be the same as for the Mini Monster Baja by Losi..??

I have already called RPM and they said they don't make one,.. Nor are they planing anything for the future...



Happy Holidays.... guys/gals........... .............Dave..

Do what I do -- Fabricate parts! If you are handy, you certainly can do this with no problems

Yeah Hiaboo...!

That's the direction that I'm starting to lean toward,...But since I'm already ordering some parts anyway from an increasing amount of different suppliers I thought I'd just have them throw the Bumper on the pile and it probably wouldn't affect the shipping total at all,...Ya' know..??


Thanks though... ...............Dave..

Yea I know extactly what you mean.. Although a nice sheet of aluminum or steel at the shop is like $8 or so, and you could probably make 4 or 5 bumpers from that for the same price as you'd get one from a parts house... Safe driving!

Don't make it from metal, it ruins the point of a bumper absorbing the hit. Make it from a sheet of kydex or something.
