flash22 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Im going to put a bar on my radshape bumber and get my carry handle back not doing much more to the lunchboxes as im be starting a new winter project after my shell is complete plus i have a new hyper for bashing hopefully waiting on some turnbuckles to come the i can finish the front end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_d_fox Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Like the front bumper too... it doesnt need bending at all... I think the reason you're not sure is because it is massively different to the original which lets be honest, is HUGE ! My only concern would be the width and it protecting the wheels, when i was at the skate park with mine yesterday the original front bumper gave a lot of support and stability when coming back off the top of the half pipes... I would think the RadShape one is a lot stronger though and i expect to be getting one for mine shortly Edit: Forgot to mention... I took the pre loading out of the rear shocks yesterday and added it with the other thick spacers i had to the front... the rear is less bouncy over rough stuff so thats better as theres more traction and the front is less saggy which is what i wanted... Thanks for the advice on that one guys Cheers, Nige Edited November 15, 2012 by n_d_fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_d_fox Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Good stuff mate... can understand why your retiring this one to the shelf... its had a decent wedge spent on it and looks pretty... tis a shame though... RCs are for using I think any mods i make to mine now will be for function and protection... i've got my eye on something else for myself so am thinking the LB will be used more by the kids.
