Optima Mid bumper options

Post by dinglem »

Ok all - does anybody have any makes or even better, any pics, of Mid bumper options that were available bitd?

I never ran the narrow Kyosho standard item, as we upgraded to a slightly wider option immediately after buying the car. Trouble is i can't find that bumper or recall the make of it. It was not the massive tube like version either. I only have one crappy shot of it on my car. It had curved end cut-outs to avoid rubbing tyres.

Any ideas?

I think I might actually have that bumper. It was sold to me as an Optima bumper, but it wouldn't fit. It has a curled-over leading edge like the one in your pic. I'll get a picture for you by the end of the weekend (I'm not home now).

I don't know why but i am thinking it might have been a Parma product. I have pretty much given up doing Google images searches now though(!) I don't think i ever saw another, even back then,so i am just hoping ours is still around somewhere in my boxes.

I have seen a couple of Parma examples whilst searching online, but no exact match to the one i had. Could be a variation though, so i will be interested to see what you guys have.

Nope, but I have seen a pic of Parma 13217 which is a full width Mid bumper so I am guessing I am looking for either 18 or 19....

Thanks for posting that mate. Each bit of info is a help.

That Parma one is definitely not the one I have. I won't be home until this evening but I'll upload a pic as soon as I get a chance.

Looks like it isn't 13219 either as that is tiny too. Just found a pic showing 19 (left) 17 (centre) and 20 (right). Mine was narrower than 17 and had a bit of curve to it.

Here's hoping you have 18 Coelacanth!! :lol:

Thanks guys!

Here's that bumper I acquired, it's labelled for the Optima Mid & Lazer, made by Strate Racing; I don't believe I've seen another like it, except for the one in dinglem's picture posted earlier...which looks similar, maybe a cut-down unit? Not sure if it's the same bumper, maybe not.

Well that is another I have never seen before, but it's not the one I had unfortunately. Thanks for posting.... the hunt continues! Mine was more subtle, thinner and had a slight curve to it.

Could that be a stinger bumper?
Edit: I guess not, from the parts in my basement I think the stinger was a 2 part design . It should work on the mid .
