monsoon bumper
 

Does anyone know of a bumper that will fit the monsoon?
I found posts abot bumpers for 1/10 redcats, but none for the 1/8 redcats.

thanks!

hmmm...that looks like it could work! It looks like you drilled new hols in the bottom to line up the bumper with the redcat holes, but how did you attach the top posts?

It would be great if you could look into it ;)

Sorry to hear about your wife. Hope everything is well.

I do not know why you guys want to put a front bumper. It already has one. If you say it is because the body sticks out in front and gets hit and bent that is because the body is put on wrong from the factory. It is supposed to be notched out in the back to go around the wing mount and then the nose of the body does not stick out. I have a cen matrix body on mine and you can see how the front is and the stock bumper works just like any other truggy out there.

Thats exactly it, the body seems to sit too far out. I'm gonna notch out the body so it sits further back.

luckily I didn't put the body post holes in my new body yet ;)

Notch it out like this...

hey thanks!

on closer inspection, the body does have a line moulded in where it is supposed to be notched!

fits much better now

thanks

PICS!

just in case your still interested i just cut the top post to where the posts line up with the old bumper and drilled a hole through the original bumper and the post, then I used some servo screws and screwed the screws through the old bumper into the posts.

Thanks for the answer!

However, I think I found A bumper that looks like it will fit where the old bumper is now

any time, that looks like it will be awesome:D and just to answer vnmsgt as to why i did the bumper on my truck, I wanted the extra protection in the front I have a metal bird feeder in the middle of my yard and if you don't pay attention it regularly jumps up and bits my trucks [:@] plus the bumper looks cool.

I'll post pics when I am done my project. I decided, since I have to modify the ofna jammin bumper to fit anyways, I might as well build my own. I'm about halfway thorough right now, but Its late, so i'll try to finish it on sunday. I'll post pics when it is done.:D

quick question though...how do I post pics? Is there a tutorial or something?
