Looks :guns: so far matey!

But trust me if you ever get recovered with a kinetic rope it would deffo be worth sleeving the chasis as a precaution. It wont be pretty if the the chassis does rip and a bumper ends up flying through the air! it only takes 10mins and its better to be safe than sorry :thumbup:

I see a potential design idea theft looming here. Quite likng the way bits of the bumper have been put together.

What did you use for the recovery eyes?

Cheers
