New T-Bone Racing bumper

This thing looks sick, I'm all ready to bash.

Nice. Does your rubber block still have the front screws that go through it into the bulkhead?

 

[CH048swRCMaster]

Yep it came with new longer screws so it could
Lol i need to clean my rc

 

[Lazy Bushman]

ok but yours screws into the hing pin block opposed to mounting into the differential right? Mine is the original V4 bumper that does and it flogs out the holes in the front diff. I am contemplating either upgrading to the XV4 2.0 bumper or to the Hot Racing aluminium diff casings. Bumper upgrade would be cheaper

Nice addition! Piece of advice. Call T-Bone and order a few spares of that thin little brace that goes from the bumper to the solid block. Heavy front impacts, even from jumping, will cause them to bend and snap. It's a good design, but that is definitely the weak point.

I have that bumper on my Noto but it doesn't have the block. It mounts to the top of the diff. I'm not too happy about that but it's held up better than I thought it would.

Great bumpers, I’ve landed on mine more than I can count.

I like mine apart from the fact is screws into the front diff. Had I known that at the time, I'm not sure what I would have done. It absolutely has made the screw holes larger and those screws no longer hold as tightly any more

T bone junk

I won’t go that far...yes a design flaw but the bumper I have has taken a lot of abuse and not missed a beat in and of itself. What disappoints me is that the XV42.0 had been released and yet they still send me the previous model......that annoyed me

Again t bone sucks

[CH048swRCMaster]

Yes lazy b it screws into the hinge pin block red thing not the diff case. Why do you guys thing TBR suck it seems like its high quality plus if it breaks i have a life t warranty.
And notorious j thanks for the advice

Customer service suck you gotta mod a brand new part so it works. All there poop back ordered and they break to easy lifetime warranty yeah when you send it back and get a new one 6 months later. Need I say more. T bone sucks

Rpm wouldn't even accept my bumper for warranty and basically told me to kick rocks when it broke after 2 weeks of use..................
I never had to send my tbone bumper back, and I got the replacement within a week. And before it broke it out lasted the Rpm bumper by almost half a year.

The tbone front bumper needs to tie into the front shock tower not the bulkhead.
