Our hobby shop already stopped carrying AE stuff.

I don’t want to get started on parts availability sucks my lhs doesn’t even want to order AE items because it’s a pain in the a**. I work at a hobby shop. Just buy directly from Team Associated. Associated sells and ships directly to customers before they even ship to distributors like Horizon or H...

Hopefully Brian's widow gets some royalties since this kit is so overpriced.

Kimbrough spur gears work fine.

I ran a Tekin FX in our Tamiya torque-tuned motor turf off-road class, it's an excellent esc. The esc I like the most for running vintage brushed is the Tekin G12c III, definitely a super reliable esc even after all these years. The best part about it is the 5 amp bec, which is great for powering cu...

What discharge rate do they use? I find I get better performance from brushed 2s lipos with a 60c discharge rate 85c. It was in the 50's for temps, so I had a small heating pad for keeping mine and my friends batteries warm. Temperature has a huge effect on lipo performance, the C rating drops seve...

How often did you cut the comm? A lot of the vintage race guys are going brushed 27 turn on lipo. Are you running reduced rear antiquat? Oh yeah, I had a washer under the rear suspension mount for zero anitsquat. The motor was 177 degrees with a 21 tooth pinion after the first qualifier. So I check...

By 2035 there will be exceptionally few commercial r/c tracks. Companies making high end, r/c racing products will be almost non-existent as 'professional' racing becomes irrelevant since consumer's purchases are no longer influenced by ingenuity, performance, or racing results - but by whichever di...

Said nobody that rides dirt bikes, quads, or side by sides.

I'm not sure why you guys want a soft compound tire for a loose packed, loam surface. Soft tires are to conform around small irregularities of a smoother, harder surface to get grip. On a loose packed, loam surface the pins need to penetrate and push against the dirt. On an extreme end, think about ...

I'm planning on mounting JConcepts Drop Steps front and rear for our team's tires in Y2K buggy.

I don't think it is malicious. No one is hoping tracks lose money. I think people just don't appreciate what it takes to run a track. Also, when their own finances get tight, people are naturally going to drop out of things like RC racing. It's not malicious that they want a track to lose money, bu...

Former hobby shop with track owner here. R/C car racers don’t want to pay the money it requires to operate an r/c track, period. R/C car racers are also venomously against a track making the owner enough profit to make the venture worthwhile. The land and the square footage is expensive. The insuran...

Yes they are. They are actually a higher quality universal then the AE part.
