Typhon Opinion about the 3s t bone racing bumpers

[Surchaufeur]

I recently decided to buy the bullet and get the t bone guardian bumper for my kraton 4s hoping it will reduce the impact on my drovetrain specially my motor mount. I want to know what do yous guys think about the t bone bumpers specially the ones from the typhon 3s?
I recently saw a typhon with a t bone racing bumber being snaped in half after a high colision with a tree i don't want to create another issue by having cracked chassi because of this bumper

I recently bought the T-bone front and rear bumper as well as the chassis skid plate. Installed the front bumper and am happy with it. Being that I seem to turn into a kid in a candy store when I get new rc parts I opened everything all at once and mixed up screws and spacers etc and haven’t installed the skid plate or rear bumper. I’ve emailed them 5-6 times the past month if they had any instructions or advice on installing their products and never received a response. Good product, frustrating customer support.

I had 6 or 7 emails back from them when I was asking questions explaining how I was using my truck about advice what products to purchase. Once the sale was done, nothing.

Just got mine in the mail today.. I still like the factory bumper look but this one is growing on me.. I will put it through its paces in the next week or so...

But, full throttle into a tree? Yikes! Not much is going to live through that man.. it's no surprise the the chassis broke.. even a 60ft jump landing wrong wouldnt apply the force a tree at full throttle will..

The front bumper doesn’t look as good as the small stock one, but it’s held up well. And nothing is going to hold up to a wide open tree collision. Lol

They posted today a new bumper design for the 3S rig. I use their current bumper on top of the stock one

I have T-Bone Racing bumpers on 5 of my rcs now, I haven't tested out the Kraton yet, the 4 on my Lc Racing vehicles(I also have the rear bumpers) have been great, the 2 on my D8T are working beautifully but the one on my Outcast has been taking a beating for over a year now and the screws are pulling through the bottom so I think I am going to stick my Voltage skids on top of them.

If you ran into a tree and the bumper broke but nothing else did I think the bumper did it's job.

[Surchaufeur]

Looks like a prototype so far and its metal thats not really good bumper
I just don't want my brace pin to fall out i might design something to make sure it will never fly out
How rigid the bottom part of the bumepr is?

Can you bend it downwards and make the brace pop out?

I recently bought a front bumper, rear bumper, as well as a chassis skid plate. I’m happy with the front bumper, but there were no instructions on how to mount the skid plate with the spacers and which length screws to use etc for it or the rear bumper. I’ve emailed your company probably 5-6x and have never gotten a response. Can you help me out?

I don't think he works for t bone racing

not the biggest fan on 3s chassis... The 3s chassis is less durable than the bumper itself. So when there is a big impact, instead of breaking the bumper, it will transfer all the force on the frame. I learned that the hard way.

At what speed you hit the tree?
If your hit the tree at 40mph or something like that nothing can save you
