Default aluminum bumper mounts

i just ordered front and rear blue aluminum bumper mounts. i got them because i hardly ever see blue aluminum ones. plus they were only $28.00 shipped. and the duratrax blue aluminum bumper mounts would cost me like $80 shipped for front and rear thats way to much for some bumper mounts. but anyways, im trying to figure out who makes the ones i bought. they look like a traxxas part, but i dont think traxxas makes these-

Not sure who makes them but aluminum mounts have no give. You will be cracking bulkheads easier now. If you have aluminum bulks, you will be bending the mounts or the bulks.

Should have put the rest of that money into a stronger servo The one I linked to.

Well I would be lucky to get $100.00 for the way it sits now. I paid $35.00 for it with a bad engine for $110.00 I can get a brand new TRX 3.3 through Traxxas power up program. I will add on about $50.00 to $70.00 of New RPM parts I already have servo's and receivers and battery packs. So in the end I will have a Tmaxx for about $225.00 A new Tmaxx will run just under $400.00. That leaves me almost $200.00 to put into something else. When you have over 10 trucks like I do you need to stretch the hobby dollar as far as you can.
