If thats you, do it right, John The Battery Guy email~or~phone 610-388-2385
before you go take a moment to visit the site above. who is right and who is wrong is not a question for yesterday.
is it the symbol or is it the place, would there even be a discussion if the symbol of honor was just a thank you sign in the middle of no where rather than a cross?
what a shame the very freedom they gave us to be able to honor their service. may be the very freedom that now tears down their memory. if you must question the symbol or question the place, do it for the future memorials, not for those of the past.
freedom of choice for the people of today is to decide for tomorrow, not yesterday. the choice of a place and a symbol for a memorial of a time past should always be honored as if sacred ground. I couldn't imagine the shame and disgrace in the desacration of such a place!
pass your laws for the future leave the past alone. if it wasn't for them you would have no right now to dishonor their memory with even a thought of tearing down a memorial, where ever and what ever it may be.
the peoples choice of a symbol in a time of honor in the memory of those in the struggle for freedom, past present and future. these memorials should be honored and guarded at the same cost they paid for our freedoms, with our lives if necassary.
I know this has nothing to do with rc. but i find the story so strange, how in a land of freedom could such a thing be true? take a moment and think about it and if you just get a crazy feeling somethings wrong, sign up and let them know, leave the memorials alone! but if your faith blinds you and your unable to see past the cross to the true meaning of a memorial, then maybe its time you found a new one! Thanks, Mark
Mini Spurrs Wheelie Bar / Drag Bar for Stampede, Rustler Full Throttle Fun adjustable skidplate ladder frame wheelie bar/drag bar. All nitro and electric versions of Stampede Rustler Bandit and Nitro Sport. (i.e.,VXL,2.5,so on)
thank you for all the great pictures, they are always welcome!!!
full size bars come in two widths, depending on the trucks wheel base to insure each truck has the stability to fit its size. the mini spurrs come in one width.
Just a note so there is no confusion. This is a stampede with a slash bumper on it. Bought to protect the truck, before the wheelie bar. This bar will also fit the Slash the same way....BUT....the bar has been turned upside down to mount with all four screw's. Not recommended for off-road use. The bar will fit right side-up, but then only two mounting screw's will go in. So like this upside down mounting, we don't recommend just two screw's for off-road or heavy on-road use.
And a note to all who will ask, sorry, no we do not supply the cool blue wheels, they do look good, don't they. unfortunetly they are a hard wheel and should not be used for heavy use, they do not absorbe any shock or reduce any stress and really are not recommended.
Note this e-savage has an aluminum skidplate/bumper, please check the discontinued e-savage listing for the stock bumper and skidplate mounting picture. The 2 length setting wheelie bar will not fit the e-savage nor will the nitro savage bar. For the e-savage you have to purchase the 3 length setting bar.
above is our R/C Car Action ad you may have seen and below a copy sent to us of the R/C Driver New Product Introduction. Thanks to Garth for passing along or we may have never known of the review.
with the introduction of the new electric savage flux in the same frame work as the nitro savage. our custom fit spurrs bar for the nitro savage will also fit this new electric truck. for the same reason that so far it has fit each new version of the nitro savage released. see the insert of the original savage 21 with the underside of the savage electric flux. the mounting points have remained the same. so if your savage has the same bumper secured to the skidplate, this bar will fit.
paypal on site or email invoice or money order welcome.
While the website is setup to purchase through PayPal, some customers have had trouble with the process. Please feel free to email customer service if you have any trouble at all. If you wish to have us bill you, email your zip code or country, if not in the usa. Include the truck name and the style of wheelie bar you would like to purchase.
payment choice, my two cents, don't mean nothing.
Payment can be made through paypal with any major credit card and no paypal account necassary, but you might want to think about opening one. While it is always safer to use a limited balance credit card when purchaseing online, so they say and as much as i hate to say it. Because credit cards and living beyond our means has put us all in a world of .... !!! PayPal has proven itself to be a very safe way to make a transaction. I personally prefer to use a debit card when ever paypal is not available, you should think about it to, as it is time for a change in the way things are done.
The hidden cost we seem to have become knumb to and just pay over and over again until we finally pay twice the actual price and thats a modist assumption. As some will never reach the end of paying thier credit card balance in their liftime. It is time for some real thought when you purchase from anywhere. As there is one thing i am sure of is that most of us will never know what we really pay in the end for anything. But if i was to list the price of a wheelie bar at just the price you will pay useing a credit card and then paying it off in one month. If that same total you just paid was the listed price for any item you buy on your credit card, most of you would not buy the product. So why pay it, just because you can't see it.
Theres no law against haveing more than one debit card. With a designated debit card account to use as the limited account. You may even limit the possible loss due to fraud to even less, if you fund that debit card account with funds even lower than your credit card limit will allow. It's time for a change, to stop all that we have been taken advantage for, all in the name of convenient.
Just a thought before you go, there's a credit card bean counter some where, rubbing his hands with glee, knowing he'll make more money on your purchase, than even me!
Well, sorry to get so serious on you, but give it some thought. Because we all have to start some where cleaning this finacial mess-up. So now that i got that out of the way... Lets get back to the fun, so pull out that credit card and we'll all start tomorrow!!! See, you never learn do you!

Welcome to MDF R/C Wheelie Bars
pictures posted here are for the purpose of the owner of the truck and wheelie bar to share with fellow hobbyist. they are in no way intended to misrepresent the wheelie bar or promote any other image or content or manufacturer of rc trucks or rc parts. all pictures are welcome and posted here with the picture owners consent. given by emailing the photo to share the new look of their stock or customized truck with their custom fit wheelie bar, spurrs, made by hobbyist for hobbyist, is there any other way.
key to viewing categories and listing pictures
below is the spurrs style bar in the 3 length setting ladder frame with a t-e-maxx custom fit mount.
this is the ladder frame recommended for all of the rc trucks we make a bar for. a ladder frame design with 3 support rods combined with the mount for 4 points of cross support. each truck will have a custom fit mount, be sure to order the bar for your truck. this bar and the trucks it is custom fit to can be found in the category of spurrs 3 length setting bar. it is also available in the shorter version found in the category of spurrs 2 length setting bar, shown a little farther down. the two length adjustment bar is not available for all the trucks the spurrs style bar is made for.
the mini spurrs category that will contain the skidplate style wheelie bars built more for the stadium sized trucks. while this is also a ladder frame designed wheelie bar, most of the trucks can also be used as just a skidplate style bar. so you have an adjustible wheelie bar, adjustible drag bar and also a skidplate wheelie bar all in one. these to are custom fit to each truck, so be sure to order the correct bar for your truck.
all of the spurrs and mini spurrs bars come with a free and or shipping charged only for repairs, for the life of the bar. we have also included a category of instruction visual aid, an assortment of bars assembled with instructions to aid in the assembly of any of the bars and the wheel setup also. while we have used a couple of the more popular trucks for the visual aid, each bar is assembled the same so these will be helpful for each bar and then refer back to your specific trucks instruction sheet for mounting.
we have also included a parts category, with really only the wheels in it because repair cost for parts is not the same as the price to purchase extra parts. so while we can list for extra parts this might then mean someone would pay a new part price that is not the same as repairs. so we ask you email should you ever need anything, other than wheels. because we do not make the wheels so these will always be the same if buying as extra or for repairs. also there is a wheelie bar category that will have each listing found in the seperate categories. if you want to just then look for your truck and the bars that will fit your truck, use the wheelie bar category.
below is the same style wheelie bar as above but setup in the drag style. each spurrs bar and mini spurrs bar can be built in either style and then adjusted for the other style ride.
the 2 length setting bar below can be viewed in it's own category and is just shorter by 1/2 inch compared to the longer bars. this bar is however not available for every truck.
below is the mini spurrs skidplate style wheelie bar shown with the Jato custom fit skidplate. each mini spurrs bar will have custom fit skidplate for the truck it is designed for. be sure to purchase the correct bar for your truck.
the mini spurrs wheelie bar / drag bar above for the jato. each of the mini spurrs has the same ladder frame that then attaches to a rear custom fit skidplate. for those who might not read the directions. the wheel location shown here on the jato bar is for adding length to any style spurrs wheelie bar. however it should be used in lite on road use only, with caution not to bend the small end of the arms by any out of control crash. the wheels should be moved, switching place with the last support rod so the wheels are inside the strength of the ladder frame between two support rods.
Spurrs adjustable aluminum r/c wheelie bars are built tough and we like to think, look pretty cool to. Built on a custom designed ladder frame structure, that is by itself nearly indestructible. Adjustible by length and angle for various front lifts, from a low dragster to a full tilt wheelie. With a custom fit mount utilizing mounting points or parts on the truck, flexible when ever possible, (except the skidplate style). For a no modification mounting that looks like it was supposed to be there all the time. Complimenting the style of the truck and increaseing full throttle control at anytime.
Our skidplate designed wheelie bars are built more for the stadium sized 1/10 rc trucks. These tend to have no way to custom fit the larger bars mount to these trucks. The counter force of a wheelie or as in the case of the drag style mounting of limiting the lift. This is an un-natural opposite force that the trucks are not designed for. Limiting and reduceing this effect is always considered in the design and mounting of any spurrs bar. While the skidplate is a direct solid mount on the mini bars, the added ladder frame allows the bar to flex in use. Any skidplate will bend in use, but the ladder frame allows the spurrs to bow or flex and limit the remaining bend after use. As all aluminum bars will bend in use the ladder frame extends the length allowing for a bow in the bar this increases the durability. This allows the bar to return more to normal after use than just a skidplate wheelie bar will. Increaseing the durability and longevity of the wheelie bar.
Add the shock absorbeing wheel and axle setup, to the flex and mounting point of the ladder frame. The impact and stress is then absorbed and reduced as it travels from the point of impact at the wheels, to the point of the ladder frame mounting to the skidplate. The shock of impact travels through the ladder frame first. then meets an even stronger skidplate at the two bends where the ladder frame attches to the skidplate. with a third bend across the skidplate, between the ladder frames contact and the mounting point of the skidplate. the stress on the ladder frame side of the bend is more than what travels past the 3rd bend to the mounting point side of the skidplate. Reduceing the impact even more before it is actually felt at the truck. This greatly increases the bars durability, reduces the stress on the truck and increase's the life of the bar and it's use. In the use of a wheelie bar, something has to give, we beleive it should be the bar and not your truck. A flexible design in the skidplate bar and a flexible mounting point when ever possible for the larger spurrs style bar. along with a wheel setup that is specifically designed to absorbe shock and limit the stress to the bar and truck. To insure the least amount of damage and to still be able to use the bar should you crash, is our goal.
"as no bar will ever be indestructible, we can build them strong, reduce the stress, absorbe some shock and hope for a good bounce!"
Our full sized spurrs style wheelie bar for the larger style 1/10 or 1/8 th scale rc trucks. Built with the same ladder frame design for incredible strength as the skidplate wheelie bars. Each has a custom fit mount instead of a skidplate to mount to the truck. Each mount is designed, whenever possible, with a custom fit to parts that have been designed to take the impact of a crash. These parts of the truck, usually the bumper and skidplate area, have been made to flex on impact and also absorbe shock to limit damage to your truck. by mounting in this way the durability of the bar is increased while the stress on your truck from the opposite force caused by the use of a wheelie bar is reduced.
With the mount of the bar attached in a way to also utilize the screws that are in the truck to avoid any modifications. Longer screws are all that is then needed and provided with each bar. Mounting to these parts along with the wheel and axle setup, that is also designed to absorbe shock. Gives the bar a means to flex in use. Reduceing the stress to the truck and also increase the stability of the wheelie bar by creating the effect of the bar having shock absorbers. So while the flexible mount will help to reduce the stress it also helps to reduce the opposite force created by wheelie's or by limiting front lift in the drag style setup.
While the power is pushing the truck back to a wheelie or limiting the lift as a drag bar. The part the bar is mounted to has then been forced into flexing, as it is designed to. It is then also pushing the truck in the opposite direction as the part forced to flex pushes to return to normal. So that as you let off the throttle this forces your front end back down quicker than just falling. This opposite force constantly pushing against the bar as you ride back against it. Helps to keep the rear wheels in contact with the ground. Greater stability is gained by the counter force that these flexible mounting points bring to the wheelie bars. While at the same time these parts are absorbing the shock and limiting the damage causing stress to the truck. The strength of a ladder frame design in itself will insure the strength of the wheelie bar. Combined with a flexible mount will insure the durability of the wheelie bar in use.
"when two forces meet at a solid point of destruction, something has to give or be destroyed, spurrs...your best chance of survival!"
adjusting the angle
above is a wheelie bar for the t-maxx and below is a bar for the savage. shown to compare the different mount that are custom fit to each truck. with the side arms that the wheels attach to being a universal fit to all the spurrs bars, in the same style of bar. so the look and how they are assembled and adjusted is the same.
notice the two screws in the t-maxx bars side arms with four screw holes behind, two are slightly more to the center. these two will be your angle adjustment screws while the two behind those will be your length adjustment screws. while each truck may be limited in use of every angle adjustment available due to the different mounting positions. however, each bar can be mounted as one style ride and adjust to the opposite style ride by the angle screws.
to angle the bar down, you would remove the bottom screw, one from each side. then loosen the top screw on both sides. once you do, the ladder frame will pivot on the screw that remains in the bar. so the down procedure would be to simply move the ladder frame until the hole in the side arm lines up with the mounting screw hole. as you move the ladder frame the screw holes will line up to allow you to then re-insert the screw you took out. this allows you to mount with the natural angle in either style ride and still adjust to either style ride with out a complete change of assembly.
the length is adjusted by simply removeing all four screws and reinstall in the set of screw holes farther back. the angle adjustments are also useable in the shorter setup. with the same procedure but your wheels will be in a different location that will give you a different set of lifting angles. each time you change the angle or change the length you are changeing the location of the wheels from the distance between the ground and from the back of the truck. this then creates a completely different set of lift for the truck.
lll
the adjusting picture shows you the 3 angle adjustments you have in each style of ride, wheelie or drag style. with the two top angles being limited in use on some trucks that mount under the bumper. but as you see with two more length adjustments that you can adjust the arms in the same way shown. you have many positions that change the wheels location when useing the angles. this gives you many different lifts from drag style to full tilt wheelies.

Ever wonder as i do when seeing those quotes from the customer about a product, on a site, are they for real. well i think if you compare these emails below to the feedback on ebay, you'll find something familiar between the two. that we really do have a good wheelie bar, that is a lot of fun. what's more, we stand behind it with a customer service that really only care's about you haveing fun and enjoying the hobby!
the email testimonials below, in the framed setting have been re-typed to shorten and clean up.... as not all cursing words are used to express disapointment, there are a couple that go very nicely with expressing pleasure, so i have found out. below the framed re-typed testimonials you will find a couple emails that were just copied and pasted. one is a complete example, from the first email to me, to my last to him, since i still had them all. it is a pretty typical email in that nothing is ever just business or what we can get out of you, no, we care more of what we can do for you!
lll
lll
this next email was one from a customer asking if we still carried the savage bar, he would like to purchase another. well my first reply, which i could not find to post here, was, since it sounded like he had one, what did he need to fix his. well not knowing what it was we would do for him, and it had been pretty beat up and repaired a couple times with the mallett, but this time he actually bent a support rod. theres always a first for everything and man i wish i could have seen that run, so he gave the bar to his friend, who also has one, thinking he could go with out... hehehe... lol and loluck with that... so we couldn't help him repair, but we did make him happy and now he knows you just can't go with out, email anytime, once you own our bar you'll never pay full price again!
Hi Mark,
okay if you would go ahead and send me an invoice for one complete bar, l can't wait to be able to do full throttle wheelies across my yard again. l need to install rear steering so I can steer while riding a wheelie. lol!! did I mention that your bar is awesome!!
thanks
Hi Mark,
thanks for the fast shipping! I received my bar today, I forgot how much fun bashing was with the bar installed!! didn't flip, not even once!! I rolled it a few times but the bar can't help me there! lol Its nice to be able to ride a wheelie all the way across my yard again, it really impressed my neighbors. lol thanks again,
lll
Hi Mark,
The wheelie bar arrived just in ime for the weekend. I have to say it is much better than I expcted and I have been in metal works one way or another for 17 years and couldn't have done better myself, but not at this price. I don't know how you do it but it is well worth every penny and then some, I'm sure most don't have a clue to the bargain they got just in the metal let alone the awesome wheelie bar, great job, great product and what a deal! Thanks again.
lll
This next email is a little more than just the regular pat on the back thank you email like these others. i thought i would post the emails from beginning to end. as an example of how we treat a customer that does email when it is time to purchase another or repair rather than buy a new one. as that is what he wanted to do, just make it new again. so imagine what we would have done if he really needed to repair it!
Hey Mark this is crazy willie I don't know if you'll remember me but i bought a savage bar last year then when i seen it i had to have some for my show trucks. i remember you said email if i ever needed anything anytime, so i was wondering if i can get a new set of the side parts the wheels are on for my savage wheelie bar. it's beat up pretty good, from lots of fun. lol it still works great but I would like to just make it lok new again. its on my savage i use for bashing so it has been put to use and straightened a couple times, but it still works awesome. well let me know and thanks for the great wheelie bars. crazy willie
Hi Crazy willie
Good to hear from you and yes I remember you just bought the bar for your basher first to see if it was just junk or not...hehehe...see I remember. I have to admit, the email you sent to me after tring the bar way back when, has stuck in my mind. Because I don't get many that come right out and say that the bar was purchased to see if they are junk or not...then in the same email asking about a discount since you have one and want two more...hehehe a man after my own...well lets no get mushy now....lol So I do remember we did a deal for the other two show trucks.... when you came to your sense's... Then didn't we do something with a Stampede bar for you a little latter to?
Well anyways I will send an invoice for 5 bucks to your email, that will be for 2 of the Savage bars side arms and shipping included and well yea, a couple pennies for me tooo... I know what a crook!!! Also let me know if you need anything else, may as well throw it in since we're shipping already. Just let me know if there is anything else before you pay the 5 dollar invoice, I think you will just be able to add the difference to that if there is a charge for what ever else you might need, if not i'll just make a new one, no problem.
Thanks again and good to hear from you, Mark
Thanks for the quick service, payment has been sent and thanks for the offer but really don't need anything else right now. I just added a new body to the beater so I thought why not make the bar new to...they'll look so good together, for a while that is.LOL. Thanks again for the great bar and the all the deals, the first one was more than worth it and you just made the others better and better, let me know if you stock other stuff, I'll buy just from you thats for sure! Great service!
crazy willie
Okay payment has been received and you are more than welcome. I think we can still make todays mail, either way I will let you know.
Thanks again, Mark
dude your awesome man***** i got my parts today i couldn't beleive you gave me the parts for 5 bucks in the first place, but the extras for my stampede wheeli bar to ****thats awesome**** your the best. after I emailed the payment and said no I didn't need anything else, I was thinking afterwards I could of used a new set on the Stampede to makke them new again. but i thought for sure when I emailed about parts you would just try talking me in to a new bar or charge me so much for the parts that i might as well buy a new bar. lol so i really wasn't thinking when I saw the 5 bucks was all you wanted, i couldnt pay fast enough, lol so thanks man its like you read my mind**** your awesome**** and did i tell you your wheelie bars are to! thanks alot, crazy willie
Hey Crazy Willie,
Thanks for the compliment and your welcome, I'm just glad I remembered you had the Stampede. I know you said you didn't need them but its good to have around and since we were shipping already, because you know what would happen the next time you run the Stampede...yep and then you would be wishing you had picked them up! So don't forget, your always welcome to email anytime if you need a new part, from a bad day of driving or just a full day of fun, I'll be glad to help you out!!!
Take care and have fun, Mark
lll
I have three of your wheel bars and they are great. One of the best prodcuts I've ever used.
Thanks for the extra screws, Ale
lll
Hey Mark, hows it hanging? I do not know if you saw my emails, but your wheelie bars were part of a prize winning display at the RC World Finals held at Diggers Dungeon. And ther are some vids here on my youtube page http://www.youtube.com/user/ryugaiden05so you can see the abuse we put them through and they still hold up. Hope things are well around your way. Talk to you later.
thanks to James and Matt for keeping us up to date on the rc competition. Be sure and follow 09' video and photo links above.
lll
below are some of the 08' pictures and don't miss the 08' record settng jump video below. it'll have you wishing you could do that!
The trail from the wheelie bar wheels can just barely be seen in the original photo and is really lost here in the copy. Well that is, I can't see it anymore...but maybe you can, small set of wheel tracks between the roosters?
lll
the spurrs wheelie bar that fits the maxx trucks is from 1 to 10, a 10 in performance and durability. the bent up savage bar shown below is usually around an 8, very durable but not as flexible as the bar for the maxx trucks. the high speed end over end cartwheel crash that caused the damage to the savage bar shown below. normally a 90% chance that will not happen, it's all in the bounce with any end over end cartwheel crash, but the odds are in your favor.
useing the t-e-maxx bumper mounts to attach the wheelie bar, is like mounting with 'shocks' that can move in any direction, as a comparison. completely stable with a 4-1/2 inch wheel to wheel stance insures even a crooked lift, the bar will stop the truck from flipping. as your truck goes back and hits the bar, the flex will insure the rear wheels grip the ground rather than lift off the ground. like when you have a solid mount and to much power... if there is such a thing. with a short solid wheelie bar you must maintain the proper throttle control to wheelie. by makeing sure as the truck goes back on the bar that it is straight and also does not have to much power that it hits the bar and lifts the rear wheels, breaking contact to the ground and then just keeps flipping if you don't let off the throttle. not with the spurrs bar on, the more power the better as the bar contacts the ground. in a full tilt wheelie there's no need to let off the throttle or flip, no the spurrs bars are designed to ride full throttle wheelies or allow full throttle use as a drag bar.... spurrs true full throttle fun!
with great rear wheel to ground contact and a faster off throttle steering response. the flexibilty of the bar, always pushing your front end down. the ability to twist the bumper with your hand when mounted on the truck. gives you an example of the durability of the maxx bar mounted and how the flex works to save the bar. while it always comes back to the normal position of the bumper mounts after being forced to flex. this is how the counter force will help you maintain stability and control.
jumping with the spurrs bar on also gives you a better landing, expecially if you have to much front lift, that normally would when landing cause a loss of control. in a case with the front out of positon, the flex of the wheelie bar will contact the ground, flex and push the trucks front to the ground. so going over side ways or bouncing into a flip is and then lossing control is reduced. the bar increases the chance for a good landing when normally you would be out of control. as the rear wheels contact the ground the wheelie bar will help in reduceing the normal bounce and at the same time will force not only the rear wheels to remain on the ground but help to insure the front comes down for quick steering control.
for a correct landing, with or without a wheelie bar, you want the the front of your truck to be higher than the rear, slightly higher and almost level as you near the ground. so that the rear tires will contact the ground first and the front immediately after. so that within a split second all four wheels are on the ground. with the spurrs bar on, the trucks front angle can be in any position from level with the ground to almost straight up, you must maintain a slight front angle. with the front to high the wheelie bar will help to bring the front into position as it contacts the ground first, causing the front to come down a little quicker. so you have a better chance of landing correct when your front was out of position. the one down fall is landing with the front of the truck straight up or slightly back from straight. landing on the rear of the bar and all the trucks weight comeing down on the bar can be damageing, so try to avoid that even when bashing. so while performance is greatly increased, you have to maintain at least a slight front angle from the straight up position, to avoid the total weight of the truck landing solely on the back of the wheelie bar. but then again, thats true for any landing, bar or no bar. the spurrs just allows for a wider range of angle, that the truck can come down at, and still remain in control when it makes contact. for a good landing in situtations you would not have and with better control in a good landing.
lll
rateing the bars performance and durability
rateing 1 to 10 useing the damaged cartwheel end over end savage crash picture listed below. with the likelyhood of the bar being damaged, should you find your truck in a crash of that nature. with #1 being the chance it would happen the first time you have a crash like that. with a #5 being about a 50 50 chance it may be damaged as shown and a #10 would be a 99% chance it will never happen, as nothing is ever a sure thing.
this crash rateing does not include a roll type crash. the type most common in rc from trying to turn at a high rate of speed and loseing control. each bar in that situation would rate a 10, a 99% chance damage from that type of crash will never happen.
along with the rateing number is also a little insight to how the bar is mounted and type of mounting and what the bar may look like after normal use. providing you have not had a high speed cartwheel crash, rolling is just fine, not recommended mind you.
t-e-maxx - 10 - mounts to a flexible mounting point and impact resistant parts, usually no effect to the bar after use. while the axle screws may bend, still useable, and maybe they saved the rim or aluminum by bending.
nitro savage & flux savage & e-savage - 8 - mounts to a slightly flexible mounting point and impact resistant parts, usually no effect to the bar after use, unless mounting holes in skidplate are warn, possibly then the screws may pull out, removable glue is suggested for mounting. rc wheel glue is nice to use, the screws can be removed and then re-glued without the need to try and remove the glue to hold the screws in. the glue is more to fill the holes to have a grip on the screws. axle, see t-maxx listing. note e-savage: care should be taken to keep the trucks weight from landing on the back of the bar, as described in jumping description above.
e-revo & nitro revo - 8 - mounts to impact resistant mounting point and solid mounting point, slightly flexible in use by bars design, with a slight bend in the mount from flexing with no effect on performance after use and possibly a slight visual crooked look that can be adjusted or may change the next time it is used. axle, see t-maxx listing.
genesis - 7 - mounts to impact resistant parts with no effect to the bar after use, unless crashing this results in a 4 rateing because of the trucks size and weight a cartwheel type crash can be damageing to the genesis trucks. axle, see t-maxx listing.
mgt - 8 - mounts to impact resistant parts and slighlty flexible, usually no effect to bar after use. axle, see t-maxx listing.
tnx - 8 - mounts to impact resistant parts and slightly flexible, usually no effect to bar after use. axle, see t-maxx listing.
lst - 7 - with a solid mounting point may hang crooked after a cartwheel crash. axle, see t-maxx listing.
mini spurrs bars, rc10-t4, jato, rustler, stampede, - 9 - each ladder frame mounts to a skidplate for a solid mount that by design has a slight flex, skidplate may have a slight visual bend after use from the designed flex, while the ladder frame may appear to hang slightly crooked after a crash, which can be adjusted and has no effect on performance. axle, see t-maxx listing.
So this will give you an idea of how the bar will perform in a high speed, full throttle, end over end cartwheel crash like the savage pictured below. keep in mind that the crash we are rateing for is for a crash you may never have. it is an uncommon crash to have in normal or bashing use. this crash is the result of a high speed run and the un-forseen need to at that high speed, the immediate need to lock up the brakes for an un-fore seen reason. that no rc driver should be putting themself, the truck or public in that kind of danger, but it happens. so while it is not at all the bars fault, we still took care of him for free and if he had his bar longer it would have been repaired for... almost free. any doubt the bar will handle what you do, then please do view the videos and see and remember that as in the case of the bent up savage, we're right behind you if that happens to you.

As you can see from just about every where above and the picture below, what we have been saying is true. You can have many days of full throttle fun or one bad bounce and it's time for the mallett or an email to me. If you have had the bar a while then you may want to just take it apart and fix it rather than get new parts yet. After all what is the sense of spending the money when it will work just fine. But if by chance this happens on your first run....well please do email, because you haven't had your share of full throttle fun to be charged anything yet! and don't worry no matter how long you have the bar, we don't take advantage of anyones misfortune of a bad bounce. repair prices, if not free, are more than not fare, to us. You'll be just as happy fixing it as you were wrecking it, up until you walked over to it... usually letting out a holy...., did you see that with plenty of laughing after from the ride you just had! don't forget to fill us in when you email for your free or shipping only charges for parts. we love to hear the tall tales of rc driving. and don't worry, there is nothing you'll tell us that will decide what we charge for repairs, thats decided on how long you have had the bar. just starting to finally have some full thrrottle fun and a bad bounce, well then thats a free repair. had the bar a while and had many hours of full throttle fun, well thats just shipping charges for repairs, for the life of the bar.

problems, my two cents, again...
So don't forget email anytime, because we would not leave anyone, with a wheelie bar not to be happy with, where's the fun in that! each and every spurrs or mini spurrs bar come with a guarantee of satisfaction and repairs for free, for a little while, or for the cost of shipping, for the life of the bar, currently US $5.00 Canada $10.30 and International $12.30 (note Canada and International are listed priority mail prices and a lower rate service is available by request) So do yourself a favor and try one, even if you do have another bar, you won't be disappointed. Theres nothing like the full throttle fun of a spurrs wheelie bar in performance or durability. Would we really post the picture if there was! Not to mention how repairable they are with a couple whacks of a mallett.
But if your the type to call this junk, no matter how much fun you had, instead of emailing us to find out just how well we do take care of customers. then please... just go bother the other guy's, they'll be glad to have you, since you have no clue what a great deal you have here or what a bargain in just the metal work alone. I've spent more than 30 bucks in an hour and not had the quality per dollar of this product, definetly had a whole lot less fun, for more money and they certainly wouldn't give me back my money just because i didn't have the fun i paid for.
So any day past the first day is well worth the money and each day afters a bonus! And for the cost of shipping to repair, that is if you have had your share of full throttle fun, how can you possibly go wrong? Anyone to offer, at anytime, discount repair prices on a product, that by just the nature of it's use will be damaged sooner or later, then it had better be good, thats all i've got to say! It's all in the bounce and with the strength of these bars, the bounce is in your favor. how else could we possibly fix the bar, for a loss on our end, simple... have a product you don't have to fix. so should you have to fix an odd one here and there, well you sold one for a discount... we're glad to give back and get you running again, thats how. So if you can't understand that, then just go away...theres no helping you or makeing you happy no matter how well we take care of you, or how strong the bar is, you'll never be happy, that i am sure of!
so again if you are the type to call this junk and complain without allowing us to repair and show you that it is well worth the price, then please just go away and have a nice day!
Well, sorry to get so real on you, hehehe... we really are here just for the fun of it, thats why we don't mind honestly telling you, how it is. and naturally we apologize if we have offended anyone, but it could be worse, it could be raining! so give it some thought and if i don't hear from you, i'll know why... say hello to the other guy's. and remember when your just sitting there on a nice day, looking at your truck because the other ones wrecked, just like ours do to! just think if you had bought a spurrs bar, all you would be doing is waiting for the mail to arrive with your new part to get right back to the full throttle fun!
you can always search the word spurrs on ebay to link to any of our wheelie bar listings to read the 100 % positve feedback and also contact us through the ask seller a question link. so either way hurry back or purchase there, you've missed enough full throttle fun already!
