RC Maker Awesomatix GeoCarbon front bumper mount

RC Maker have introduced the next instalment in their GeoCarbon range, the GeoCarbon front bumper mount for the Awesomatix range of touring cars. Designed to be used with the kit P14-1X lower bumper mount, it increases the bumper’s rigidity, and also the body post rigidity by offering more support around the post. This is a direct replacement for the standard part, and also includes an additional brace to brace the bumper to the bulkheads, preventing the bumper from bending in impacts. This part does not touch the bulkheads but clears by the slightest of margins as to ensure no tweaking. Constructed of high-quality 3K 3mm carbon, it is lightweight and durable, and also super sexy.
