Are you planning restoring it to fully original?

Had a couple of brats in the past and with a few little cheap mods they become a good little truck....

Looks great bud the black bumper Deffo looks better than the older white or red crp ones . Just needs another fake rx wire to finish it off . An the crp bumper better than stock being an one part unit the weak part on the original & rere was the bit from inner chassis to bumper . Enjoy running it great fun on sand and gravel roads .

yep..the original mount had snapped on the left side .....the H tree part was 10 quid or the crp bumper was 9 quid delivered .....so I went with the bumper....way more stronger/flexy then the tamiya plastics... Edited by evssv
