WPL Metal Bumpers with working shackles.

Heng Long/WPL are now manufacturing 1/16 scale RC trucks, so it seemed sensible to create a forum area dedicated to the amazing things that members are doing with them. Post your builds, mods, and tips here.

Banggood are now selling them on the RC Car Parts Section,
It is listed as----
WPL Metal Bumper Protector with hook (Shackles) B14/B16/JJRC Q60/Q61,
they are priced at £9.22 each.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

I ordered these on the 14th of this month and by Banggood standards they arrived almost instantly :lolno: Just ten days.
I am surprised at the quality,
The Metal bumper has some weight to it and the "Tow Shackles" come in pieces, Back Plates with screws (The Bumper is Pre-Drilled for the Back Plate) The Shackles and the Shackle Pins.
Not everything I have bought from Banggood gets my seal of approval but this item certainly does. :thumbup:

Just been giving them a dry run,
The shackle bolt would not engage the thread of the shackle on any of the six that came with the three Bumpers I bought BUT once I had cleaned the thread with a Drapers "Tap"(0.5mm) they were fine. :thumbup:
