Maxximus Front Bumper - Traxxas X-Maxx - 62197

Great must have for real basher action
I would buy it again
Had not to cut nothing, a short installation instruction would be great but the video on T-bone explains more than a instructions

I had high hopes for this bumper but unfortunately it doesn't really fit correctly and after just a couple jumps it pulls the mounting screws out of the front bulkhead. I have tried everything to try and make it fit correctly but I am on the hunt for a better bumper😩

Excellent

Seems like I have to flip the stock bumper brace upside down to get it to reach, and even then the holes don't really line up (do I really have to cut it?? Why not make bumper 4mm wider to fit?).
The dude in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx1awyvJYro flies through the install way too fast and skips steps that another 3 seconds of video would be useful to see.
Seems like he also flipped the stock brace upside down and cut its center bar which is what it seems you'd have to do to get it to line up... but none of that is mentioned in the video or webpage.
T-Bone, come on... I know you've probably installed 100 of these by the time you release the part but before you write up the description or make video, take a step back and re-imagine the install process from the point of view of someone who is doing it for the first time.
The new bumper is probably tough enough to handle the adjustments (cutting and flipping brace), my main complaint is with the crap instructions and video.

Maybe I installed mine wrong but the front two spacers weren't even the same size and the bottom screws all ripped out after a high jump even tho it looks cool what give should I give it a second chance with all new fresh threads
Looks amazing on my xmax thorough I can’t take away too much
