The rear bumper is certainly flawed. Just about everyone at the track has their rear bumper held together in some hodge podge manner as they have all broken. It needs to be made of some more flexable material...maybe that would save all the rear shock towers from turning into a taco as well.
All the accessory plastic on the truck is pretty poor. Nerf bars broken off, front bumpers pulled out on the lower mount, rear bumpers busting at all the screw mounts, body mounts busted up. Some guys locally are getting pretty peeved about the whole thing shedding plastic everytime it hits the track.
Certainly a ton of stuff that can be redesigned much better by companies like RPM.....they should be able to make a small fortune off this truck..........

What is the weather like where you run? Maybe that has some effect on it and something we need to look into. If you are running where it is VERY cold, you can try boiling the plastic to soften it up, but it shouldnt be necessary. I have run the same truck with all the same plastic on it for 8 months and have had a few things that we looked at fixing but nothing like what you are going on about here. We are adding some material to the holes around that part on the rear bumper. We are only doing that because of the feedback here. In all my testing, I only ever saw one of those break and that was on a non conditioned part. We always look at things to improve...but to hear all of this, it would certanly be the first time i have heard it.

Plus, as I had already mentioned in an earlier post, we had parts air freighted in and will be here this week so June is not gonna happen. We should be shipping next week. This is minus the gears. We will not be releasing those as they come with the pins until we have a 100% correct pin.

It's kinda funny how the truck comes on the market, the thread gets new peeps, and then guys forget about us who was pioneering the conversions months ago and posting about what designs worked and didn't work
Just like Salad said, the front bumper design was a failed concept by Jammin, definitely not something Losi should have emulated. It should have incorporated a front skid mounting like the slash 4x4 which has a nearly indestructable front bumper.
I designed my first rear bumper just like Losi's and said that it couldn't be mounted to the shock tower after I had bending issues. The Factory version pics came out, and I already knew the tower would taco. Sure enough, just about everyone running the stock tower here has had issues. Most don't even realize they have a bent tower until the body mounts start to not line up
It's a non issue if you get the carbon or better aluminum shock tower. The stock shock tower is one step above a hammered flat soda can I always thought the factory rear bumper, in and of itself, looked real nice. I like the lines and flow of the design......It's just made of a plastic thats a little too brittle. I ran a slash 4x4 rear bumper on my conversion for quite some time....and it held up great. Whatever plastic they use, is what Losi should have considered instead.
Also, for those trying to make it a personal thing, I said OTHERS at the track were having the issues. Most of which I would consider above average drivers. I personally don't even run a rear bumper as I go el durango style now, or the fragile stock nerf bar settup, or even the front bumper. I have the parts sitting here, but I think putting them onto what I designed would be a step backwards at this point as I haven't broken any plastic in months and my settup is an ounce lighter overall.
As always, YMMV, but sooner or later you will be replacing bumpers, body mounts, and nerf bars with this truck...and from what I have seen it will likely be sooner, even if you are an internet keyboard driving pro

If you PM Minit76 on here, he could probably send you his broken bumpers and nerf bars, and body mounts. I think he is the only one that actually replaced the parts, everyone else just cut the nerf bars off, zip tied the rear bumpers, and hammered the shock tower straight and keep on running it as is.
Some have doubled up the stock rear shock tower, and that seems to work too, but not something I would want to do

But to say that everyone will be replacing all of there plastic is simply bashing, please take bashing elsewhere. I have no problem with personal experience but conjecture is simply rumor and that is not too great for anyone.

I dont understand how you guys are breaking all these parts, ive been bashing my losi for a couple weeks now and the only thing ive broken is a rear hub (slid into a cobblestone, also bent the beadlock ring) but that was obviously my fault. And one of the nerf bumpers broke but i have been using it as a handle.
I couldnt be happier with the durability of this truck.
Ive gotten into a tussle with a HPI Vorza flux and came out unscathed.
Ive gotten hit by a 5B and it flipped the truck over a few times, no damage.
P.S. Its 40-45*F out here
