Senton Tried boiling plastic

[RetroThutmose]

Front bumper structure kept breaking on me. Cheap nonessential part but annoying. Tried the boiling trick and it worked great.

I hope Arrma redesigns that darn front bumper. It breaks far to easily imho. I'm running one of the Tbone Racing Kraton bumpers on my Senton because I got sick of replacing the stock ones. Or even if someone in the aftermarket would make aftermarket bumpers that would be awesome.

try adding a couple dingleberries to the water just for good measure

I went this route and am very pleased.

I didn't even record half the direct hits that thing took. Idk how long the effect will last but I'm very impressed with the results. I plan to try it on other pieces that break but so far only busted a steering link and I'm not sure if that would benefit from being softer. I think it might pop off the ball mounts too much

That looks like an awesome upgrade, do you have the link for that? Want to save it if, no when, I break this one. What sucks is you have to get the whole kit and rear bumper seems very well protected so now I've got a surplus of rear bumpers

I just threw out a bag of busted parts including Bumpers . You can find that here, link is also in the video description along with other stuff I've found useful.

Neat trick.

Why is it so nose heavy?

It was crazy. I wasn't trying to nail the bumper and my kid was just doing his usual bashing but it seemed like an earth magnet that day. Somehow it survived.
