T-Bone Racing Review - Read 5 User Reviews

In the front yard track of TBR founder, Rich Grafton, Rich was racing RC’s with his kids and their friends when the idea struck him. They had spent much of their time not racing, but in the shop replacing broken parts. Thinking that there had to be a way to protect their cars, Rich stated “I’m going to make a bumper.” His kids were skeptical to say the least but Rich proceeded anyway. Coming from a welding and fabricating background he was able to make a bumper for his Team Losi XXT. After a few test runs he found that he had stopped breaking front end parts almost all together, so he made a second bumper for the Duratrax Evader ST which turned out to share the same hole pattern as the XXT. After he had made bumpers for most of their fleet Rich made another statement “I’m going to sell one of these bumpers.” So onto ebay he went and the first XXT Bumper was sold on April 24 2004.
