Not yet. I installed the arrma wheelie bar. Maybe that helps. Mines brushless.

Ouch! I've already broken the body on mine. They're so thin.

I had to go study mine. I see it now. You got an adjustable wheelie bar? It's a little different from mine. That stinks.

I’m running the earlier version of the Granite wheelie bar I believe.

Ah. Mines the latest 3s Bigrock one. I know it sits really low to the ground.

My son's broke in the same spot yesterday. Running a 3s HW system with non adjustable wheelie bar part #ARA320613.
I hope RPM releases a replacement bumper mount in the future.

I haven't broken mine yet, same p/n wheelie bar, on brushless but I'm sure it's soon. I was thinking of flipping it over to get more 'rake' but it would need cutting & modifying to work but it may or may not help. I see the problem.

I wonder if a simple washer would help distribute the force out???

A TPU Gorgon one in works?

Cut out a flat piece of metal and ran across the bumper mount. Don’t think I have to worry about it breaking again.
