I picked this up from Dan @ Sabulatech a little while back and was just wondering about its origin. It's injection molded and is definitely well made, it's also stiffer than the stock bumper for about the same thickness. Anyone have any ideas as to who made it as there is no branding on it? Were any other colours produced?
Thanks for any information you can provide.

Im 90% sure its RPM.

Nope its not RPM I was thinking of their blue gear cover.

Ha, that thing came back to haunt me again. I had that thing in a box for over a year and a half and couldn't figure out the brand. So i just gave up and threw it up on the store as unknown.

duratrax evader st they have a few different colours.

You're a star..... ......thank you!

AHHHHH, I always forget about the Duratrax Evader(XX) and Losi letting them copy.

I just ordered up a few other Evader parts to see how compatible they are. Some are obviously not, like the front bulkhead, that is huge shame.

Does this include the front suspension arms? It would be great to know if they fit or can be made to work....

I know the xxt and duratrax front body mount are dead ringers.

xx and evader chassis are totally different. I have a NOP one here if anyone wants it.

I wouldn't say we let them copy LOL...not sure why we didn't go after them on that model

I ordered the front buggy arms, so we shall see in a few days. Geometry on the arms looks to be a little different. Definitely a different design to them as far as structure.

Losi was already moving on and no patent on design most likely. Also, lawyers are expensive.

Ok, well that was a huge fail.
I guess I can say i took one for the team.
I bought the Evader buggy arms and buggy wing mount.
Neither of them will work correctly.

The buggy arms are totally different design and the hinge pins holes are too small.

The wing wire is shorter and smaller diameter, so I wouldn't trust the wire to stay put when you ran it.

I also got the Evader front truck mount and that is not real great either.
The holes on the XX are spaced farther apart. I suppose if you are desperate it would be ok with some work.

I also bought some black bumpers, they fit perfectly just like the blue one posted earlier.

Sorry man the only reason I said that is I recieved a bunch of parts from an duratrax truck and noticed it was the same as my xx-t. must have been a xx-t on a duratrax...I think I it sent to Rick years ago....

No problem, write off as business expense, and now we know for sure.
