DONT BUY THESE BULKHEADS ! :mad:

Nice review. Time to upgrade to FLM combos with ofna buggy gears. No need to ever take them apart again.

They should of channeled the removable part once more so it becomes a structural part.

What you need to run with these are the solid al bumper mount spacers. You all know the littlew blace x shaped plastic thing that goes between the bulks, and the bumper mount screwws thread into is very weak. I have an emaxx that has these bulks that I got in trade. I also have some of the al spacers that I plan to run. HR should include these parts with the bulks, just makes sense.

if you want to run these bulkheads you need a shelf queen

A pair of SweetStrobe Braces would be the ticket for this design. There's no hole for the bottom part of the brace on the HR bulks but the top alone would give a huge amount of extra protection, plus make them out of 7075 alloy



I like it.......I LIKE IT ALOT!!!!!!

Only problem with the strobe braces is that there is not enough material on the hr qc bulks to get the lower screw in, so the opening can still spread out. It would be better to have the 2 screws pass thru the blue spacer and thread into the bottom of the opening. That would effectively tie it all together. Not sure if there is enough "meat" to get a decent length thread though, as the lower hingepin is close...
