Default How do i fit TC4 Foam bumper to my mardave?

This prob is a really dumb question but I cant figure it out. I have taken the tc4 bumper and it will slide onto the front body posts of my mardave but it touchs the wheels and they would not be able to move. I bought the Mardave 2n hand and im not really very knowledgable about building things as yet.

I check the long metal chassis to see if there were any hole to move the wheels backwards but I dont think there is.

Any suggestions? I am hoping to race it later today so would really like to figure out how to get this bumper on. I didn't want to start cutting away at it before asking as the bumper is from my T/C.

Many thanks

I would say the only way it would work would be to cut the bumper or run without. Even if you did cut the bumper im not so sure the bodyshell would fit.

How about cutting a piece of polystyrene then wrapping it in tape that should get you away.
