Did TBM go out of business? The website is not there any more.

If so, good riddance. It used to be a good source for GS stuff and some other things. They started going downhill about the time they bought the ZDZ rights from RC Showcase. When Gene hired some "manager" guy, things really started going downhill, there are posts all over the Internet about how bad their CS was. Finally this new "manager" guy got 'em headed off to UAV land and from there on it seemed like they didn't give a crap about us RC hobbyists.

JMHO as a guy who used to buy quite a bit of stuff from them, but hasn't for more than two years now.

They are basically all UAV now. Last time I spoke with them they had very little in the way of RC products.

Haven't given TBM a second thought since they stole the JetMach 60 and turned it into the Shok Jet. Heard of many people that had issues with them.

yep. when they stole the jetmach, that ended it for me. some could argue it hurt other guys that were tied to ripping the jet off.
