Hi, just ordered a f/r bumper set for my scrt10 <jammin> .mail got here just before I was leaving for the track
so I tossed them in the pit box and took em with me. once I got there it took all of 10 min to mount up both. at first I thought
WOW these are beafy and was a tad worried the weight would unbalance the truck. Nope, TQed and set 6 new fastest class
laps . In the main I got taken out and had to really push to catch the leader and on the last lap went for the big triple.
This triple had never been done with a sc truck before but I felt gutsy with the new protection, made it ,made the pass ,got
the win. thanks so much I love the product and will send some pics of my ride soon.

Hey Andrea,
Thanks, I know about your free replacement for
Nylon Bumpers and skids (of which this is), but I don't feel right about using it. I could only write a small testimonial
in the comments section about how your Thrasher Bumper sacrificed itself to save my 1/16 Revo from sheer and utter destruction.
A
couple beers with friends and family before the SuperBowl (I'm 38, my sons 6 and 9 have a VXL Stampede and Rustler) and I
was running the E-Revo full bore with a 3s LiPo battery which is insanely fast and near uncontrollable. I ended up hitting
the asphalt curb head on and launched the car at least 30 feet into the side of my neighbors house..Ooops...The front bumper
snapped in half (about 30 Degrees outside, snow and ice on the ground) and saved the car. I expected to see an explosion of
pieces after I hit the curb, but everything seemed fine. I ran the car around some more until the battery died. Upon closer
inspection later I found I cracked both rear bulkhead differential covers. It was now your Rear bumper with the T-Bar that
was the only thing holding the car together as I had continued to drive it around (unknowingly) until the battery died.
So my point to all this is that only through serious misuse and abuse did
your product fail. Not your fault. I have no problem purchasing your product again. I plan to be more careful in the future.
If another one breaks then I might hit you up for a Freebie. Please tell everyone there I am pleased with your product. It
works and looks great. The new T-bar is awesome and works great as well, but it's tough keeping the wheels of this little
car on the ground. Thanks for making a great product. Once I get a new bumper I have to get some headlights and tail lights
for this thing so I can drive it at night !!! Any plans on making a light kit for the 1/16 E-revo? They are VERY popular.

Well I bought my Nitro Evader Front bumper from u like 2 years ago(if not longer) and have never broken it. Yesterday
I was driving it on the road at full speed and and then drove it into the drive way at full speed( with my new O.S.
.18 CRVX) and went into the grass and BOOM, I forgot about the cement well cover. I destroyed the whole front of the
truck. It was sitting in about 4 pieces and i was sooooo sure I destroy the bumper too but as I was picking up the carnage
low and behold it was in perfect shape. It didn't even get a gouge or anything just had some scratches on the bottom
from it.
Dude your stuff is AWESOMELY STRONG and LONG-LASTING.
Thanks ALOT

To whom it may concern:
Let it be known that Rob Engle used T-Bone Racing bumpers on his Mini-Ts while twice claiming
Top Qualifier honors and dominating the competition to win the A-Main in both the 2wd Stock and 2wd Modified categories at
the Allied Hobbies 1/18th Mini Nationals in Rock Springs, Wyoming on
March 7 & 8, 2008.
I'd like to personally thank your company for producing not only the best in RC products, but supplying me with
the edge needed to sweep two hightly competitive classes.
Best regards,
R.P. (Rob) Engle |

Just sending to a picture of my car (rush evo) with your bumper on it. I hit the
wall in the schoolyard the other day. I was doing about 35-40 MPH and nothing. Not a scratch or any damage.
I loved it!
I would recommend this product to ant one with an RC car!
Thanks,

"Alright folks, T-Bone Racing is AWESOME!!! Thanks to Rich
and Nick!!!!!!
Just got back from the track tonight. BOY!!! Did I made
the mistake of letting a friend's 5 year old son drive the thing. He was so hooked on it he didn't want to give it back to
me....hahahaha.
As you imagine, a 5 year old boy and an RC car don't work
too well together. I couldn't even count how many times the crowd "WOW"ed on the driver's stand after hearing the loud SMACK
head on full speed with the PVC pipes!
What would have cost me a set of shocks, arms, hinge pins
and CVDs were all saved thanks to your T-Bone bumper!
All I can say is "GO GET ONE"!!!!!"

"My son finally broke his t-bone bumper at the Nationals......
he was ripping down the back straight and missed the turn....(he is 6)
with the reedy mini max motor....
he was flying....
the sound made people gasp and look.......
the best thing was he just drove that little truck away........
I went over and picked up the remains......
the bumper rocks........
Lucky for me I have one on my truck so I swapped it out.....
A lot of racers were impressed with the bumper.....
I know I am...."

"Thanks
Rich,
I know that bumper is gonna save me some money in parts becuase the stock bumper is non-existent !!

"thanx man.. that's great.. your bumper saved my truck for real though...
it hit the house at about 30...
and the bumper caused the truck to go straight up in the air and deflect
away from the house.
I will definitely be suggesting this bumper and puttin in the good word
on all the forums im a member of.
thanks again...BM"

"I just wanted to send some feedback to you to let you know I think
your bumpers are absolutely fantastic!
I just recently purchased one for my Duratrax Evader Pro BX buggy,
and it has already saved me many a broken part!
My son (he's 9) tends to be a pretty wreckless driver with his buggy.
Since we normally just race around my front yard, we usually end up in at least one wreck if not more.
So far this bumper has taken several full speed shots and it has
taken them all in perfect stride.
I had already broken 2 of the "stock" bumpers and was getting a
bit angry because they broke upon even the slightest contact. The worst part about the stock bumper is it does NOTHING
to protect the front suspension arms and turnbuckles (which I have broken several times with the 'stock' bumper installed).
Your bumpers, on the other hand, provide more than enough protection
for those and pretty much the entire front end. Excellent design!
You guys have a fantastic product - and I will be purchasing more
bumpers for the cars I add to my collection in the future.
Thanks much! Great work!"

"Hey Rich
... I got the Bumper Sat.6/10, It's COOL man!
Hey are you going to make one fore the HPI Hellfire? Just got one!! Can you say
FAST!!!!!
I also have a Traxxes Jato, Alao fast. I got to get Bumpers for them!
...Thanks again. Joe"
From: "Dave", March 13, 06:
"I just purchased 2 bumpers from your ebay store...
Also I need to return one that I broke.
Just to let you know, my Speed Gems 17T Evader running wide open struck a piece of
concrete which
stopped it dead in its tracks.
The ESC, receiver and switch were all jarred from their mounting positions.
Other than the broken bumper NO other damage occurred.
My grandsons and I have a total of 5 Evaders and with the 2 purchased above they will
all be protected
with T-Bone bumpers.
Thanks, Dave"
From Gordon Tamura, November 15, 06:
"Thanks Guys,
The bumpers are great.
The Basher model is perfect, but the Racer is a bit wide for the large MT style tires
and makes the turn radius an issue (rubbing).
I will have some pictures for you soon. I'll take photos of my MT2 similar to how
your website displays your product.
Thanks again, you guys ROCK!!!!!!"
From: "bbking9", March 17,05:
"Hey guys, if
you are considering a bumper - get a T-Bone!
Have had mine (a mini mini) about 10 days and it has saved me some $ from
broken parts.
The 4 screws go in tight and STAY TIGHT (unlike the BRP). Nice up angle
so it doesn't dig in on jumps.
The best $8.95 you can spend on your 18T !!"
From: "Carpet-t", March 27, 05:
"Well I'm amazed at how u guys(TBR) are meeting everybodys needs. You've been changing bumper angles,lengths,
widths etc etc.
I wouldn't be suprised if other manufacturers would make a wider bumper and the people who
want a shorter one would have to get the Dremmel.
Though I haven't seen any pics of the pro bumper I do have it one my list of parts
to get. Good job TBR.
Stay classy."
From: "Bermbuster", March 9,05:
"Rich and Nick...
I ordered two of your bumpers and they are awesome.....I have a 6 year old son and his rc18t thanks you.....
We will be at the 1/18 nationals with the bumpers on our trucks......Im sure you will get the exposure
you deserve......
awesome product at a fair price........killer guarantee.....
George"
From "Mike", July 17th, 06:
"Thank you very much- it arrived Saturday.
My son Jack, who is 6 and whose B3 it is,
is putting a t-bone sticker on his bike helmet!
cheers!

"Hi T.Bone Racing,
We are stoked that you have got the F+R set together for the M.I.S.T.
at last!!
Hopefully we will be the first Aussie's on the block with them...
Many Thanks & Kind Regards,
Chris & Dane"

From "virgilgerbil", December 6, 06:
"I have been searching high and low for Mini T and Evader BX bumpers. You make both!
...BTW I found out about you by an independent internet reviewer by googling Evader Bumper."
