x-sc front bumper

[travmess]

So with a bit of tinkering and some spare parts i managed to adapt a hpi 5t front bumper on my xsc. A couple parts have no business being used for a bumper but they fit pretty well wat u guys think.

Nice fit. It looks like its meant to be on there. Should be tougher also.

Yea fit better than expected although the body will need trimmed around the bumper didnt want it sticking out too far. Can u tell wat part i was refering to thats not really a bumper part? Lol

I'm going to say the top brace. Looks like a suspension arm.

Yup lower front a arm from a baja fit pretty well looks almost like it was made for it

Hey if it works, why not. That's going to be plenty strong.

Nice mod dude!! I had to do my xsc bumper after it smashed a hole in a stucko wall lol. Ok the bumper broke and the truck smashed a hole. Hahaha. I wondered if the t bumper would fit with some ingenuity. Now i know. That looks cool. Do you have a pick wiyh the body?

 

[travmess]

No not really kinda smashed mine when i broke the stock bumper. I did use wat was left held together to help locate the final bumper position i might be able to duct tape it back together enough to give u an idea of wat it would look like tho. U would need to notch the body some to fit around the light bucket mounts on the bumper

Heres a couple pics with body on . Looks like it was made like that btw gorilla tape works great for piecing a body back together lol

That looks good. As long as it does its job and you can keep the fun going, that's all that matters. Good job and way to be ingenuitive
