Thanks for the response and I want to say the truck is great. My son won the A-Main with it last Friday night.
The issue is the bumper must be flexing enough to allow it to drop down below the chassis plate but it is not pulling the screw out of the front bulk head. The are where the bumper gets sand-wedged between the bulkhead and chassis is what is coming out and dropping below the chassis.
I have to dig the dirt out of the front screw hole, remove screw still that is still holding bumper to bulkhead, loosen screws that hold the bulkhead to chassis so I can get bumper back in place and then screw it all back together.
This is happening almost every run.
Again, not down on the truck, it works great, just need to get this issue resolved.
