Does anyone have the POS modelbau front bumper for the ET48?

I have crashed my ET48.3 twice now into a tree and both times have resulted in it breaking! (No surprise)

I am looking at purchasing a front bumper for it and would prefer anything other than a t-bone bumper because I live in the UK so it would cost a lot when shipping and import charges are taken into account.

Has anyone got this bumper installed?

Pos makes some tough quality parts, that's for sure.

I do use the MT410 bumper from him. This thing took a good amount of abuse so far.
100% recommended.

I broke a POS on my arrma on the first run while I have never broken a tbone.
Some German and other eu dealers carry tbone.

By the way, for simple bumpers (1 piece), just buy one made for arrma and make 2 extra holes, that's what I did for bashing my eb48

I could look into buying eh Arrma Kraton bumper that RPM make as I had that on my Talion.

Does it require just two holes drilled to fit?

I'm not home until friday otherwise I'd take picture and double check on the MT410, but the 2 outward (so front in the front, rear in the rear) holes are further apart on the Teknos, the inward ones are in the right position on the EB48.4 at least (front and rear tbone bumpers from the Typhon fit that way).

I have Talion, Outcast, Typhon bumpers and MT410 and EB48.4 to check what fits on what if you can wait.


edit: the most "difficult" is tapering the holes, I did it with a dremel conical grinding stone but I suppose there are better ways.

If you could compare the Talion with your MT410. I think they are going to be closest in terms of the diff mounting holes.

Will do.

I'm sure the holes are the same as I once switched the chassis between the talion and typhon. It's just a question of the bumper being in the right position (not too rear or front).

Are you able to check the fitment of the bumper.

Not a problem if you can't.
 
Litterally back from the garage.

The screws under the car (into the diff) are fine, just needs two new holes, the distance / position of the bumper is fine too, but if you have a bumper with some second part that attaches to the hinge pins like this https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2135/5155/products/Talion_Basher2_1800x1800.jpg?v=1525907995 that's not working without quite a bit of work which I did not attempt. Nothing you can't do with a dremel, but not as straightforward.

So, perfect for single part bumpers (like on the Typhon / EB48 which is what I did), but only the main bumper part on the heavier / bigger cars unless you have much patience, or skip it.

I'd get a POS from POS as they offer 50% off on replacements, and I might just have been unlucky with mine.

Alright, thanks for checking. I'll wait for POS to get the bumpers back in stock.
 
Hello, I'm from Germany and I can tell you, most of us, drive the POS Bumper, are completely fine and work flawlessly.
