Kraton Stock bumpers causing divots in lawn

[Kp207]

I can't be only one who dislikes the squared off design of the stock bumper lol. It rips up the lawn on jumps if thr trucks nose is down and not a perfect landing. T bone is out of business. I had one that worked great but its not available any more....I did see another company recently selling a bumper but its stupid expensive for a plastic bumper.... anyone come up with a solution on there own?

RPM...but sounds like you need to get better at landings.

Oh all I saw was Kraton. I don't see mentions of what rig?

Join a lawn dart competition.

Install a 8t pinion.

Run a 1s pack.

2 of those would help in landing, ain’t getting much air from that. The first one though, yeah! The first one

You can easily install Granite or Big Rock 3S bumpers to your Kraton 4S.

Lol, funny replies I guess there aren't any solutions.
The granite bumper and kraton 4s have same square edge on lower part of bumper that dig into lawn and cause divots. The t bone bumper on my other v1 kraton 4s has a more curved design. This doesn't dig into lawn. Thats what I was referring to.
Hopefully someone picks up where t bone left off. Thanks

I agree it's a crappy design. They could've pulled it out 1/2in and put a bigger spring behind it. The bluntness of it is probably the reason the chassis are breaking. Blunt force trauma! I have also had problems with the red aluminum pivot pin block ripping out and it is breaking the chassis.

I would have said get a tbone racing rear typhon 3s bumper and bent it into shape. its the best bumper hands down that i ever had on my k4s. But they don't exist anymore...
