RC4WD fan Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 Is there a complete screw set you can buy as an upgrade sort of thing or would you have to buy each different size screw separately to replace the stock ones ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 I now need a rear bumper but not the stock one, think i may have to try and make one with very limited tools, i wonder if @Fat Freddy has done something like this 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 I have ordered an MN D90 bumper, will find a way to make it fit, also need a trip to modelsport for some paint as i will paint inside Bullet grey so as the exterior paint chips and marks so the grey will show through like a primer coat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badly. Reckon your D90 bumpers will look way better tbh. Did something simpler for the Element…. Aluminium rod cut to length. Used a heavier rod for the actual bumper. Drilled and tapped the ends of the smaller rods that slide in where the stock bumper fitted. Highly recommend Macc Models https://maccmodels.co.uk/product-category/materials/aluminium-sections/ as a source for raw materials. A thread tapping tool would be useful if you go this way. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Lone-wolf Posted March 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) The paint is started, this is the base paint on inside of shell in Bullet Grey, it is a bit darker than i wanted but does not matter as the main colour will be on the outside, so the Grey is just to make sure when scratched i dont end up with clear bits on shell, still waiting on a couple of bits like rear lights, and rear bumper, gonna order some larger tyres as the 106mm ones on it look lost and plenty of room for more rubber Edited March 18, 2023 by Lone-wolf 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
