Basher Front Bumper - ARRMA Outcast, Notorious, Kraton 6S - 00033

It's a good bumper, and may be the strongest one out there, but hardly worth $40 plus shipping. Not the best deal, given that you could go through 3 Arrma basher bumper for the cost of this one. I bought this to replace the old style TBR bumper that broke last fall. The bumper has been redesigned with a $10 increase in price. The bumper now has rubber cylinders to absorb shock, but what they gained shock absorption they lost by making the bumper vertical rather than sloped. The earlier (and cheaper) bumper was angled so that if you hit a low rock or root, the bumper would ramp the car over it. Now it will just be a direct impact. Net gain in bumper effectiveness = 0. Unfortunate. All this combined with the fact that TBR did a bait and switch by turning a "lifetime warranty" into 30% off coupon, (which was barely made this worth purchasing over the other options) suggests that you might be better served trying other options for your bumper.

It’s a good bumper. Had to mod it to fit with my M2c front hing pin set up. But as usual tbone struggles to keep stock, ship in a timely manor, customer service takes for ever to answer questions. Not really sure why all of this hasn’t improved bc they bombard you with customer service surveys and satisfaction questions. They have a few good items which are mainly the bumpers and the roll cages. You guys should stick to a few products and do them the best you can rather than having a million products that mostly are not good.
