Posted: 18 Feb 2020 12:30 AM PST

RC Maker have introduced the V2 version of their popular GeoCarbon bumper mount for the Awesomatix A800 MMX and MMCX.

The part is a direct replacement for the standard mount, and also includes a built-in brace to brace the bumper to the bulkheads, preventing the bumper bending in impacts and also saving the chassis. This part does not touch the bulkheads but clears by the slightest of margins as to ensure no tweaking. Constructed of high quality 3K 3mm carbon, it is lightweight and durable, and it fits all 2018+ models with AM78X1 bulkheads.
