Bumper Plastic for 1/5th scale

Hi Everyone

 

Has been a while since I was on here and is very nice that my profile is still on :), anyway I remember few years ago I made set of bumpers when I had MCD RR v3 and I am after the same sort of plastic that I have used just need for different project, if I remember it was 3-4mm and would bend with heat gun, it had sort of texture on in, I just viewed 40 pages of my own post and replays and found it but I never did mention what it was or at least I can't find it.

 

Not sure if anyone makes the owned still but do you know of any plastic that is very stiff but can be bend with heat gun?

 

Thanks

I'd think maybe Nylon? Pretty tough and bends with heat. Check out this place. It explains everything you'll need to know about each plastic, and you can order from them too.
