Talion Put an EXB Super Basher front bumper on my Talion

[Engineer]

Received my EXB Super Basher front bumper from Horizon today (finally) and replaced the RPM front bumper on my Talion.

As it comes in the package:

Three pieces ... and no hardware - so you better have some M3 button/flat heads and M4 flat heads in your parts bin available:

First step was to take off the RPM bumper and then replace M4X12 flat head screws that were removed when the RPM bumper was installed. You also have to remove the M3 button head screw that goes into the suspension mount with M3x20 flat head screws:

The shock absorber piece can then be attached (or you can do it after the bumper is installed):

Also had to steal 3 of the M4x16 flat head screws from the RPM bumper.

Compared to the RPM bumper (both on Talions):

Nice work, looks great...

I have one coming in the mail today... after looking at it though it may not fit over the CRCU blocks.. might have to go on my Kraton XL and the t-bone bumper from it might be going on the car this exb bumper was going on ? we’ll have to see when it comes.

Very nice. Better than my block of TPR and a rubber grommet on my RPM bumper! lol!

Everything seems to be loading on my end. Pictures are hosted on ArrmaForum's site so I'm not sure why only part of the set are loading for you.

Hello. Thank you very much for sharing this information. I bougth a Talion a week ago and want to install a bumper. Initially i wanted to install the RPM Bumper but maybe an Arrma Super Basher would be the better choice. I am afraid the Arrma Bumper looks too big on the Talion. So do you have a picture of your whole Talion with the Arrma Bumper? How does it look like? I am quite curious. But only if it doesn't mean too much effort.

Regards

Looks nice & mean!! Just put one on my kraton

Hey man, great thread, very helpful.

One question if you don't mind, will I need different hardware other than OEM (unlike yourself having the RPM bumper already) or will the original hardware that the truck comes with be suitable to fix the Super Bumper ??

I'll be fixing the bumper to a V5 Notorious.

Looks great. Really helpful thread. Just got my Talion exb too and wondered what upgrades I needed from the get go. Anything else you consider essential ? Wheely bar ?

Sorry, I missed your reply but the RPM bumpers come with all needed hardware while the Arrma bumpers do not. Best is for you to look at the interactive exploded view of a vehicle that comes with an EXB bumper and that will show you all the necessary hardware you need. I think you can reuse a screw or two but better just get everything you need based on the exploded view.

So even fixing the Super Bumper to a Talion exb requires bits that arent supplied with the bumper itself ?

Arrma never includes any screws with their plastic parts.

Looks great. So, it IS compatible with the CRCU blocks then, as I was thinking of getting those at some point soon - Im a big fan of CRCU. Are there any other CRCU bits you reccomend ?

This talion actually has scorched front hinge pin block. The crcu do not work with the exhaust bumpers…
