BrianG, yes I do plan on adding bumpers. I have custom skids on the bottom of the chassis front and back which bolt on using the diff screws. Right now those skids end right at the front of the chassis, I plan making another set and extending them about an inch and angling them up slightly. The Slash bumper can then be mounted to this extenstion. I will provide pictures when I actually start working on it. As far as the body mounting to the shock towers, well they are after market towers and much stronger than stock. I feel that between the extra strength, the additional flex from the stock Slash plastic body mounts and the larger lexan Corr body should help absorb any crash damage. I also picked the shock tower as a mount because the stock buggy mount consist of a single small point on top of the steering plate. I could have used this as a mount point but I felt a single small point, which ok for a smaller/lighter buggy body would not be strong enough for the larger Corr body. We will see, still a work in progress..
