Notorious New Notorious V5 Bumper Upgrade Part Numbers Needed

[larry2375]

Just got my Notorious V5. I already busted the wing, ordered from 3drc thanks to this forum. Installed Arrma heatsink and fan and ran in to the dreaded motor mount screw stripping but got it fixed. Now looking for a bumper but from what I read, the RPM bumper I would need to dremel to make it fit and for the EXB bumper ARA320573, I would need other parts? If so, what are the part numbers? Sorry if it's been answered but I'm confused.

RPM bumper should fit fine. Kraton 6s V5 version.

I would go EXB bumper the RPM bumper just doesn't flow with the Notorious body the front of the Notorious body is rather straight while the RPM bumper is curved to follow the contour of the Kraton body.

For the Outcast EXB bumper you need this https://www.amainhobbies.com/arrma-...frLdQ94K7a6VVu_L-5jOZsIyoWPgeFCRoCw8IQAvD_BwE
this https://www.arrma-rc.com/en/product/bumper-loop/ARA320628.html and some M3x12 and M3x16 countersunk screws, M3x16 button head screws, M3x20 socket head cap screws and M4x16 countersunk screws.

Thanks all. I think the rpm is just an easier install. I also don't think the look is that bad. Would you know the part number?

Even if the Rpm is an easier install the EXB bumper is better imho. The Rpm bumper is only attached to the bottom of the chassis and a small nose dive will break it. I've broken 3 or 4 of the Rpm bumpers over the years, I'm still on my first of the EXB bumpers.

Wow that's not good. Since I don't do heavy bashing, just small skateboard ramp on grass I think I'll be ok. If the RPM's do break, I'll get the EXB
