10L Bumper Question
There was the wide one with squared ends, the shorter one with pointed ends, and the really short one with rounded ends....in what order did they come out, and on which cars?
Re: 10L Bumper Question
I only know from the early 10L kits I've built from a sealed box. The widest and the most narrow bumbers were included in the RC10L/LS kits. Where the only time I saw the middle size bumper is with the RC10LSS/LSO kits.

Re: 10L Bumper Question
I always figured that the widest bumper was the earliest and the narrowest was the latest...seeing as the cars got narrower I just assumed that the bumpers did too. However, while looking at some scans, I noticed that it was the shortest bumper that was on the 10L in the earliest manuals, and articles.
If that was the case, then was the widest bumper the latest one, and did it first come out on the 10LS?

Re: 10L Bumper Question
Rooster is correct. The original RC10L came with a narrow and a wide front bumper.

Re: 10L Bumper Question
They did give you both in the kit. I think the smaller one is for the 10LSS oval car but I always used it on my wide cars. No need to cut the body for it. ![Mr. Green :mrgreen:](./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)

Re: 10L Bumper Question
I don't know if I'm misunderstanding....do you guys mean that the widest and narrowest bumpers were both part of the kits, but each at different time periods, or that they both came in the kit together, at the same time?

Re: 10L Bumper Question
my 10ls came with both bumpers (wide and rounded ones) in the box. i don't remember if my old 10l kit had them both in the box or not. 10lss/10lso had the pointed speedway bumper.

Re: 10L Bumper Question
My 10L SuperSpeedway came with only the smaller bumper of course, here is a pic if it

Here are the three bumpers

And here is the car on the box showing the wide original kit with a narrow bumper. I always assumed the wide bumper was the original but judging by the pic it must have came with both as mentioned above

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Re: 10L Bumper Question
My photo above is exactly what was in the box with the original RC10L release. I bought that when it was first released...well before they had the 10Lss.
