Does anyone make a Front and Rear Skid Plate for a Typhon S6 V5?

Unfortunately I haven’t seen any specific to the new V5 chassis redesign.. the best solution I could see would be to use these two part numbers and to trim to fit?
ARA320540
ARA320546
these are from the Mojave and would for sure need trimming to fit. But I can’t really see any other options for a typhon. There is always the Kraton EXB front bumper that would fit... just a little large for the typhon?
you could also just get the RPM for the V4’s and carefully trim out the diff hump spot.

Based on Arrma website the kraton exb front bumper will be compatible. Granted I'm still not sure how. And I'll double check but I think a rear wheelie bumper is available according to that website

With the two new v5 "sliders" on the rear, is the rear skid plate still needed? i'm going to try running mine naked when i'll switch to the V5 chassis.

For sure would still need one in my opinion...

I just bought these for my V5 Typhon 6S (according to the Arrma optional parts section, they do fit):
https://www.arrma-rc.com/part/ARA320573
https://www.arrma-rc.com/part/AR320366
I can see that the wheelie bar must just replace the two wing posts that come on the stock wing mount.
But for the bumper, it's less clear how that fits. Doesn't come with any hardware at all and I'm not sure if stock bolts will work... Will have to sit down with my car and work it through... If anyone else has any experience with fitting this to a V5 Typhon 6S, I'd be grateful for some tips!

Yes. i've fitted that bumper onto a Typhon. You need some hardware. the 2 bolts that hold it form the bottom need to be 2mm longer than what you currently have, and you need some 4m bolts for the front part.
Take a look at the Kraton EXB exploded view to see what you need.

I don't know which country you are from? but I received my order from him yesterday ?
https://www.modellbau-metz.com/rc-m...plate-adapter-vorne-fuer-arrma-kraton-v3-_-v4
with this adapter it can be used with a standard bumper

As mentioned the Super Basher Front Bumper does fit the Typhon S6 V5 but does not come with hardware https://www.arrma-rc.com/part/ARA320573
You will need 7 additional screws (outlined in blue) which I sourced from my collection of screws I picked up from Jennys RC https://jennysrc.com/collections/notorious-v6-blx-ara8606v5
The two 12mm screws (stock) marked in red I replaced with two 16mm screws for better fit
The RPM Rear Skid Plate #81442 does not fit the Typhon S6 V5
An earlier post suggested to try to trim the skid plate but the material in the location that needs to be trimmed is too thin
I'm still on the hunt for a rear skid plate/rear bumper

The red ones need to be 2mm longer than stock (to compensate for the width of the bumper)

Thanks mate, good advice and good idea to look at the Kraton EXB exploded view
Thanks brother! Excellent info and super-clear guidance.
I reckon I'll just buy a bunch of hardware to stock the parts bin for the future - I'm sure I'll need it...
Also still on the lookout for a rear skidplate/bumper that fits around the Typhon 6S V5 redesigned chassis (with 3D-forming for rigidity). I'm checking all the usual aftermarket suspects on this and will report back if I find anything...

Can you add a pic with the body on so I can see how the exb bumper looks on the typhon. Also do you like it?

I've only have the Super Basher Front Bumper on for 2 runs
Day 1 was street only and I did not hit anything but it did help between the street and driveway aprons
Day 2 was off road, hit a metal pole at low speed and the car bounced off the pole, no damage, other than that it helped me plow over as opposed to into some mole hills

Nice! Looks extremely well-protected. I ordered the Jenny's RC hardware set for the Typhon V5, but that's going to take a while to arrive (shipping US to Australia).
In the meantime I've been trawling the local hobby shops looking for the hardware I need for the bumper. I was only able to get some of what I needed, so I'm going to have to order more parts from a closer source! Gotta hate the wait!
Enjoy

I'm guessing it clears the tires no problem? I definitely like the look and it has held up on my kraton exb still to date.
