They are definitely not as durable as an injection molded nylon piece but they should take a fair amount of abuse on a dirt track. Probably not so much on concrete or if its hard core bashing.
I raced this printed chassis several times (before the mid-motor craze) with no failures...

Awesome job on the bumpers. The ae logo really sets them off.

Thanks for the interest in the bumper. It’s been really hectic lately, I should have something posted in the BST section within the next week or so.

If you put these out for sale, could you put a couple on ebay. I guess I can't get in to the Buy sell forum yet. I would love to get three of them!

Huh? I only own a few true "shelfers", most of my fleet have seen track duty including this one…

I want a bumper or 2 also
What material did you print that translucent chassis from and who printed it for you?

Awesome car! I love how you're running vintage electronics too. Do you think they will be much of a handicap? Like if the response of the servo is slow, or the ESC is inefficient, compared to modern stuff other guys may be running, and NiCADs vs LiPos?

Thanks! The ESC and motor combo have been great, the servo is a little on the slow side when compared to a modern $100+ servo but I don’t think it’s a handicap. I’ve been trying to keep the car in the full spirit of vintage but I have to admit that NiCads do suck, especially 20 year old NiCads, they drop off towards the end of the heat (we run 5 min). When indoor racing picks up again in the fall I might switch to a low C rated lipo.

Nice buggy I would change out that servo to a more robust I don't think speed the issue but the torgue 25oz not good. I would go for at least a S9301..69.5 oz S132H made more for on road 1/12 scale.

Yeah, I’m aware and I had some reservations before using it. It’s a servo I've had laying around for a long time and I wanted to try it, so far it’s held up and performs decent. If the vintage racing scene gets more competitive and the frequency of it picks up I’ll eventually upgrade.
