Samix Enduro Aluminum Short Front Bumper Mount w/Adjustable Servo Mount (Black)
A great idea falls way short.

I liked the finish, adjustable servo mount and mounting hardware.

Here is why this part fails. To start, the hole diameter for bumper posts are too small. Element parts are tight and unless you shave the posts you will need to press-fit the parts together. Also know that this SAMIX part will move your bumper 2-3mm forward from the stock part. This is due to the location of the screw holes used for securing the bumper. They are further forward on the SAMIX part than on the stock part. Why?

Not mentioned in the product literature is the need for a shorter steering link. The SAMIX part places the servo output shaft closer to the centerline of the chassis which reduces the distance from horn to steering knuckle. What is mentioned is the servo is relocated without changing the steering geometry. I'm not sure I believe that yet.

You should know that the servo horn and top of your servo will have more exposure to rock strikes, duh.

Gatekeeper users will need to trim two corners of the cage to clear the mount.

Samix Enduro Aluminum Short Front Bumper Mount w/Adjustable Servo Mount (Black)
The mounting post holes are machined too small to fit the stock Enduro bumper. Now I either have to drill out my pretty new black anodized aluminum man jewelry or buy another bumper that I didn't want in the first place... and somehow hope that it fits? I could dremel but that's not something I should have to do, nor was there any warning or indication in the item description that it wouldn't work with the OE bumper... actually seems quite the opposite lol! Really bummed because its a well made piece like everything else I have that's made by Samix, but now I've either wasted my money and have to go another route, or waste time making it work and putting a hick-up in my build.
