Bumpers

I fitted some brackets to hold the bumpers.  I wasn’t really sure how to do this but in the end I made brackets that will fit around the MBT anti spill lips.  That’s why the brackets stick out and down.  A 16mm bar will attach to that and pass through the lower part of the hull to which the bumpers can be attached to.  They need to be able to be removed so I can fit the MBT in place.  I did the same on the forward framework as well, except I have a mounting point right at the very front, centre as there is nothing in the way.

Lower picture is of the mounting brackets I fitted for the motor guards.  I really don’t like these as I think the guards are going to look awfull, but I can’t risk not having them.  The motors are very vunerable stuck out on the sides.
