Cyclone Front Bumper Tuning Plate CY-28/WO - Technical Graphite Upgrade by 3Racing  [CY-28/WO]

Technical overview of the bumper stiffener

The CY-28/WO is a monolithic graphite bumper stiffener engineered to locate at the Cyclone front bumper attachment area, providing a controlled increase in local flexural stiffness while preserving the original bumper geometry on Hot Bodies Cyclone Sport and Racing platforms.

Procedure for fitting follows standard 1/10 on-road practice: remove the existing bumper fasteners, align the stiffener to the factory mounting points and secure with the chassis' original screws. The component is designed to use existing attachment locations to maintain serviceability and avoid chassis modification.

Performance impact: increased bumper stiffness alters short-duration impact absorption and front-end feedback, which affects turn-in characteristics and mid-corner balance. Use incremental testing paired with tyre and spring changes to quantify the stiffener's contribution to lap-time oriented setups.
