Status: offline 		Alright, so after wasting my first AL skidplate and bumper, I was looking at the design of them and frankly it doesn't make sense.  Is there any reason the bumper/bumper mounts/skidplates aren't just made as a single piece?  They would be 100x stronger if they were all either bolter or welded together, but it doesn't appear anyone makes them in this configuration.  Am I missing something, or is this the best way to do it?  I know it is how real 4x4's are made, with integrating the bumper/mounts/skidplate, I just don't understand why it isn't done w/ RC trucks.

I figured, all else fails I will order all the pieces seperate then re-engineer them as a single unit.

Feedback?

Chris.
