Thats the great thing about Ti, its so flexible it can deflect a long way without bending, but a big impact will still hurt it. God forbid you should intentionally crash your Supermaxx ClodMaxx, it would be a crime.

I run RPM bumpers and stuff on front and rear of my Maxx.

But then I beat the %#@!&* out of it on a regular basis.

I always wondered why RPM doesn't make bumper braces for the Maxx?

I use titanium bumpers by Hardcore Racing with stock plastic bumper mounts...looks cool...strong as heck...and the stock mounts effectively absorb energy from the bumpers.

I won a HCR TI bumper and mounts on ebay last week and after looking at it when I got it, I decided I would mount the TI bumper on stock mounts - I moved the metal bumper mounts to the rear - I want that weak link in the front. In the back those mounts shouldn't contribute to damage - all my crashes so far have been on the front end.

It is a nice looking bumper!

Not for nothing but I have one of my trucks setup with 7075 CNC mounts and bumpers, but I compressed high density foam between the mount and the bumper for absorbing the impact with oversize screws to hold it together. I just like the massive look that it has, plus it protects the rest of the truck from being smashed up. With a tough wing assembly and a roll bar nothing of any real value gets hurt. Like it was stated earlier the RPM stuff is plenty tough enough, but people say it looks like a radio shack toy because of the plastic bumber. So I look for a more impressive way to deal with impacts. Sorry!!
