tmaxx bumper

[1rclovinkid]

how hard is it to get a tmaxx bumper to fit a nitro rustler has any one done it if so what did u need to do

[nitroracer87]

ive never heard of it being done. it would probably look pretty cool. did you try searching on other threads?

[Head-Hunter]

i was going to do it but then i figured it would break too easy sence it sticks out so far and has little to no room to flex

I use rear Maxx skid plates for my front bumper and rear bumper/wheelie bar.

[moparrr07]

do you have pics?

[Big_Truck]

I do, but you would have to email me so I could send them to you. Workin on 2 diff comps here.

Can't wait to see how it looks. I am already thinking of useing a RPM skid plate. Not only will it be good and not break. IT WILL BE BLUE

pic time




looks good. sorry it took so long to post them. i had to do to indianapolis today to make a dilivery

[18t turbo]

that is something different, it looks preety cool to me

[k-vette]

I'm going to stick with my rpm bumper, it's saved me many times so I know it works. Maybe you could attack the maxx bumper onto the front skidplate, then it'd stick out far enough.

[TheFastest1inMI]

heres my non stock bumpers.
custom made them out of "U" brackets

[nitroracer87]

i made a custom bumper out of a lid for a pan

[Big_Truck]

Those dark wheels are dishes (like the front one in the 1st pic).
I dremeled them out and just left the 8 braces. Then painted them metallic charcoal; then painted a white rim. I think they look pretty decent.

The rear Maxx skid plates are nice and firm, yet give enough in a crash without looking goofy (IMHO) like the RPM one does. It also does a nice job of protecting the front of the alloy chassis when you bottom out.

If you dont run into stuff a t-maxx bumper would be really cool. You could make an RPM one fit to match your a-arms. Well, My a-arms. Once my truck is runing again i might give it a try.

[TheFastest1inMI]

I think they look pretty decent.

DECENT? Those are the best looking rims I have ever seen

[Head-Hunter]

ya those look awsome. i think i found my next mod while im waiting on my new rims

[Big_Truck]

They're light and strong. When this color chips up and the tires wear out I may go with red.

I used the drill looking dremel tool to do most of it and then used the conical shaped one to give them a cleaner look. Started out just cutting out every other one but that wasn't cool enuff so I went all the way.

[Head-Hunter]

ok well i got bored so i figured why not.
now keep in mind i did this with an exacto-knife sence i didnt want to go downstairs to the workshop. it seemed to work prety well though
