    sway bar kit rear bumper/wing

    so i purchased the sway bar kit and painted my hummer-since the body is not long enuff to let me use the rear wing i will completely deinstall it anyway

    in the manual of the sway bar kit it says IF i wanna use the rear wing and bumper i would have to get a special kit for the rear wing / bumper / body mounts...

    -how is that kit different from the normal rear wing (stock)?
    - could i -by any means - get the stock parts working with the rear sway bars?
    erevo mmm-need mip pins...

    What sway bar are you using? I'm using the Traxxas swaybars on mine and you can't use them with the standard 2.5 & 3.3 Revo/Summit rear bumper mounts, but they work fine with the stock E-Revo/Platinum Edition wing and mount.

    I have the Traxxas Swaybars (Part #5498) mounted on my E-Revo with absolutely no clearances problems at all. Wing and bumper mounted or not, they fit like a glove.

    Works with E-Revo but not the Nitro. I made some notches in my bumper mount, it seemed to work on the work bench. Once I hit the track and took a few jumps; one of the tie rods seems to have disappeared.

    Is there a new bumper mount we can use?

    the only difference between the nitro & electric rear bumper are the length electric is shorter but they're still mounted on the same oval shape ring. in-order to put a swaybay you have to remove the bumper mount (oval shape ring) to clear the sway bar.
