TBR Basher Front Bumper - RedCat Racing Shredder XT - 47070

Although I was able to find a YouTube video on how to install this, I shouldn’t have had to do that, and neither should anyone else. Is it too hard for a company to print instructions on a piece of paper?

They also give you four 4mm screws, instead of four 3mm screws. The screws that screw into the bottom of the differential on the Shredder (as well as many other Redcat models) are 3mm, not 4mm. So care will need to be taken not to screw the screws in too tight, or they will pull through the tapered holes on the bottom of the bumper.

One other thing I noticed when installing this, is that the small little piece (sub bumper) that sits behind the bumper, does not sit flush against it, so when you’re trying to line this up and screw it in, the screws put a lot of tension on it.

I have yet to test this bumper in action, but something tells me that it might just crack. I guess I’ll find out when the times comes.

I bought 2 of these as i have 2 shredders. It is a solid piece for protection. I had to flip the brace bracket over as it was premounted upside down. It is a must for the shredder.

Awesome upgrade. If you own a Shredder, you're gonna need this!!!

Works great. No instructions, but if you use logic you’ll get it installed. Bashed it a lot already over the past month and it doesn’t show any damage!

Shipment was fast. Bumper is made out of good material. The reason I gave it two stars is a lack of directions. It took me hours and 4 rebuilds and two stripped screws to figure out how this should be mounted. A simple one page of instructions or illustrations would have saved a lot of time and hard ship.

For the price of this bumper, instructions could have been included.

Besides that, I would have given it 5 stars.
