XB4 2014 front 'bumper'
Anyone out there got a mod to give the XB4 a bumper that might absorb something? I've bent two FF Suspension holders......
Thanks Chris |
Nothing out there just yet, I made my own prototype out of ptfe that seems to work
|
I would buy two for my 2/4wds

There's not much to see unfortunately, i put some heat shrink around it for more of a cushion. It's about 8mm deep to stop it digging in after jumps
|
iPad camera decided to stretch it :-/ ^^
|
You don't want too much mass on the front end. I'd work on driving, rather than a front bumper. Xray parts are known to be durable, so if your breaking them at that pace perhaps avoidance is the best bet.
|
I broke only 1, I hit a concrete track marker, not my fault. I made the bumper because if it lands nose down it can dig in, my bumper is about 6mm deeper and has a nice angle on. Weight is negligible
|
There's this one that I make http://www.bugleboyracing.com/index.php?productid=24
Can also be used on the 2WD and on the back as a rear bumper/skid plate. |
Looks good :thumbsup:

Thomas makes some very cool stuff!
I've had Durango gear diffs in my B44 for... is it 3 years now? Custom job by Thomas - never any issues or maintenance! And finally NOW AE offers it :lol: The XB4 is much much quicker now though on astro :thumbsup: Only problem I've had with the car is the drive axles, both center and wheel. You need: -pins with flat field (TC part) -"cylinder" with windings + set screw (TC part) -alu securing cups (option part) |
I ended up making all the B44 conversions that the AE team ran at the worlds too :lol:
Thanks for the bumper orders everyone :thumbsup: |

So the rumors were true :D Another fun fact: The B44 is very quiet with Durango gear diffs. The DEX410 sounds like a lawn mover in need of repair :lol: It's the center shaft solution that's noisy... |
Do the Bugle Boy Racing bumpers replace the stock or are they used in combination with it?
|
It doesn't interfere with the original bumper so you can either leave it on or take it off.
|
Received & tested, works like it should! Prevents the "digging in" :thumbsup:
