I run at night a lot and wanted some lights, mainly for orientation purposes. I see proline has a bumper with an LED light in it and traxxas has some factory upgrade options for front and rear bumper lights. My question to anyone that has experience with lights in the bumper, Do they hold up to impacts very well? I was concerned that frontal impacts would destroy the light bars.
I jump a lot. That was the purpose for the X-Maxx. After a few months of bashing, I'm impressed with how well its held up. The only thing I've broke so far is one of the front hubs (bad landing). I did replace the rear hubs with the rpm upgrades but only because the factory bearings felt rough and they are so tiny (what was traxxas thinking?).
I do notice a lot of impact marks on the front bumper, all around where the light bar would go. Thats why I was concerned about damaging the LED's. Any input would be appreciated.
