I was in the process of removing the front trans, unscrewed the front bumper and removed it to get to the four screws that go into the transmission and what seemed like a hand full of dirt dropped out of the front transmission. I think the front bumper needs to be made out of a stronger material that wont wear out as fast.

Hello Cracky,

I have made mine in 3D, available in shapeways.

Some drivers were asking for it, with a better gear box seal and covering the front suspension mount.
I have made it in "normal" plastic or in Alumide ( Metallic plastic ).

I personally use the Alumide material ( painted with black tamiya spray TS-6 )...it is enough resistant.

The link to order ( sold by Pair ) :
