T-Maxx RPM Builkheads

[3115ultima]

Why doesn't RPM make some Bulkheads for the T-maxx or E-Maxx? I think they should.

[MegaMe]

from memory they said their plastic is too soft and flexible for bulkheads...

New Era mkaes aluminum bulheads for the Maxx I think. That's the stuff.

the point of RPM is to aviod Al. I think that some flex in bulkheads would be cool. They should realease them anyway. Or someone should make steel re-inforced bulkheads..kinda like rebar in cement

This is what RPM told me,

"Bulkheads for the T/E-Maxx are in consideration, although the more we look at them, the more we are seeing inherent design flaws that could be fatal even to an RPM part. If we can find a way around those flaws, I'm sure you'll see bulkheads from RPM, but at this point, there isn't anything we can do to solve those problems.
If we can't make a product that we can honestly say will not break, we would rather not release it than to risk potentially damaging our reputation for bulletproof parts with a product that would be marginal at best. I hope you understand our position on this subject.
Thank you for your interest and patronage of RPM products. If you have any other questions or comments, please feel free to send us another e-mail."

That sounds like good reasoning and a detailed response from RPM. Their stuff (skidplates and bumpers) have kept me from breaking other stuff on my trucks almost each time out.
