The problem with the bumper setup is the little lip that hits against the chassis where the screws go in. It works as a fulcrum and when the bumper pushes up or forward pressure is applied to the lip causing the screws to rip out. The best thing would be to remove the stock bumper, take the new T-bone bumper and cut it to slip in between the chassis and diff case like the stock bumper does. The material is way tougher than the stock bumper and without the slip it should flex enough to not pull the screws out.
I ordered a couple of those early last week and the guys slower than Santa to ship, I am expecting them any day and I will toy around with one and the idea I posted above.

Is there a how-to on the associated bumper somewhere with some detailed pics?

You will need to Cut the AE Bumper mount (first pic) so you can spread the attachment locaters to meet the Jammin factory width.
Trim the skid portion (second pic as compared to oem bumper) of the AE Bumper so it can fit into the original slot between the Chassis and Diff Case. Ream new holes to match the OEM location and install screws.
I trimmed mine to allow clearance of the suspension so full droop could be maintained if necessary.
Of course this is a temporary solution until ___ ___ sends me his upgraded solution for the SCRT10.
If you prefer the bumper to extend further forward, just add appropriate spacer between the shock tower and trim the skid accorndingly.

Here's a video of my Jammin. The track was pretty beat up so it didn't handle very well but on a prepped track its great. I highly suggest going to 2k in the rear as it makes the car alot more stable and going to the inner shock position on the front arms, it gives the front end more droop.
It was 110 degrees that day and the 4.5HV motor got up to 175 and the GTB Spectrum ESC got up to 150 with a 13t pinion. My Novak Ballistic 8.5 hit 200+ degrees in that heat with a 12t pinion.

Some shots of the T-Bone bumper... Finally someone came out with something worthy looking. 3.5mm thick nylon, includes the top piece as well. I will work on the sandwich mod later tonight and see if I can get that to work.

If you like to drive on velcro use the Wishbones. If you like the truck a little "free" then go with Enduro's.

Thanks, I have never tried the 5-pack section because I dont want to break the car, and that the section was designed for 8th scale buggies to clear, but if the jump angle was fixed I bet I could clear it, just without any consistency.
