Does anyone know of a compatible front and rear bumper for the Redcat trucks?

I found this one on eBay - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...9562&rd=1&rd=1 but I wondered if there were any others?

Thanks!

that looks like it would work, you probably leave the stock bumber on too.

MiniCwik

Thanks and yeah, I was just wondering if there were others besides this one out there?

I definitely want to protect my front end more once I paint and put my new truck body on in a month or so to prevent any accidental body damage like I have now on my stock body, LOL.

MiniCwik

What about these - http://www.rpmrcproducts.com/product...as/bumpers.htm will they work?

ehroof

the rustler bumber hooks up different, get the one that you first posted and let us all know what you think!!!! I dont know of any other unless you get the one for the redcat lightning, that may work too. i would suggest getting the one your first posted since it seems like it on the truck in the picture.

MiniCwik

Thanks, I think I will go with that one as well.

yo mini i posted this a week back, go with the first one, mine should be here today or tomorrow for my sv, ya you can leave your original bumper on too but if you hit somethin hard enough to break that t bone bumper i think it wont really matter you left the original on,i plan on taken the old one off, oh and theres currently nothing i can find for a rear bumper

MiniCwik

Cool thanks ganja, I just ordered mine and I was thinking I may go to my LHS to see what they have for other models (for the rear) and see if it would fit.

ganjamatik

the way our trucks are set up its kinda hard to match one up, the SCREW HOLES the bumper mounts to in the front arent in the same place in back but i notice that there is are a set a little further back that are the exact same distance apart as the holes the new bumper will mount too, once i get mine ill check but i was thinking MAYBE that same front bumper could be mounted on the back as well just further back,either way im going to contact tbone right now and see if they are working on a back bumper, the redcat himoto front bumper wasnt even listed but when i asked him if he had somethin that would fit he said they just finished it and hed post it on his site and ebay(THATS THE FRONT IM TALKING ABOUT), he did pretty quick so hopefully when i ask again now for the back one, hell have somethin ready for us.......I HOPE[]

MiniCwik

Okay, I see what you're saying and yeah hopefully they can get something together for the rear as I'd like to get some protection in front and back.

I emailed RPM about anything they had for Redcat's and they said I was the first to ask and suggested I visit my LHS to see about any compatible one's.

slide150

This guy posted this picture last June he made his own bumper out of galvanized steel. It looks sweet.

MiniCwik

For those times when I am running with friends, to prevent rear damage.

MiniCwik

That does look pretty cool ... if only I could make my own.

glk420247

I am going to have some of the shop guys try and make some. If it goes well maybe I will be able to make alot of them. It will just be out of all the scrap material at work so won't cost anything to make. But I think it would be real front heavy by the looks of it anyway. Hopefully I can get them down sometime next week.

heres the rear, they also have the front available and also a set with both ..

MiniCwik

Good find ganja, too bad I already ordered the front ... ahh well, if I see a real need for the rear perhaps I will order it at a later time.

ganjamatik

same with me, if i wasnt already still waiting for my front bumper i would order the back, so it will have to wait till i get the first one in the mail

Hey ganjamatik,

Did you get your bumper? We are in the middle of selling our house and relocating to a different state, so shipping has been slow. Should greatly improve when we are settled. We are shooting for next day turn around.

If you guys have any questions about our bumpers, feel free. The bumpers for the HiSpeed, RecCat and HiMoto are the same hole pattern and we put the extra holes in to mount on the rear as well. The rear bumper that we offer in the set and by itseld is not as wide as the front and could be used in the front as well. Yes they do fit the 1/10 Tornado buggy.

I got my front and love it!

I'm gonna be ordering another front for my bro-in-law, will shipping be affected as well?

T-Bone RaCing

I will have to pull the plug on opperations on the 17th. So you have alittle bit of time. Rich

MiniCwik

Rich, I ordered a set of front and back for my bro-in-law and a rear bumper for myself just a couple hours ago.

Look forward to receiving them and hope we have warmer weather soon so that we can run and test these out some

I did test it some in the garage on Friday and I have to say that you did a great job on the bumper, it looks great, performs very well, and stood up to the testing I put it though running into the wall and some boxes. Big thumbs up and to anyone wanting a bumper, you should seriously get one of these!!!! They rock!!!!
