Rear Bumper or Skid Plate Options

Post by **Mwp1111** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 8:11 am

I know jg made a rear bumper for a RC10 however they are not so easy to source.

I have a graphite RC10 that I would like to add some rear guard or bumper to - I am looking for anyone's suggestions for options. I searched the forum, but there does not seem to be much out there on it. When I raced these back in the day of course we never used bumpers, but today I am trying to preserve a little bit more:)

I also have a gold pan runner that I vintage race from time to time that could also use some guarding....the place I race is a 1/8th scale track and the rear bolts holding motor plate, etc are taking a beating.

I was wondering if there are any modern bolt on options available that someone has solved...

Any guidance would be helpful

best way to preserve would be two items:

this lovely piece from Niki

second is a standard chassis protector tape that is available a bunch of places.
