I got my Re-Re in the mail yesterday and I am super excited. I am going to build it and shelf it next to my Cadillac. Anyway, I was looking over the chassis and it seems a bit... off. I have a few pictures. Should there be the ridges and bends that are in the pics? Should I contact Associated for a replacement? If this is normal, I won't worry about it. Thanks all!
It's normal, the original has it too just not as noticeable.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
They said the re-release parts were going to have slight variations to distinguish them from the originals. I guess typical dodgy modern craftsmanship does the trick.

I've read enough reports to make me feel that there were some substantial quality control issues. How about the top shaft dilemma? I'm not knocking the re-release at all, and would possibly like to own one in the future. I'm just sayin'.
I'm thinking about purchasing a Serpent F110 (1/10th scale F1) kit. I'm not too familiar with Serpent quality as the last Serpent car I drove was ~15 yrs ago. Can anyone tell me if Serpent still builds a quality product as the price tag is premium...

the 977 does happen to be tq at the WC for the moment, however, I must say ;)
Hey I've noticed that my resized pictures just don't have the clarity I would like. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how to improve them? I am taking them at a fairly high resolution and they show every speck at full size.
Thanks!

Does your camera have a macro setting if so use it for close ups? Just a suggestion.
Hello folks, I am getting back into the hobby and would like to get some of my older cars and trucks working again. I would like to build my own packs but don't know who makes a quality sub c cell anymore ( does anyone?)
Just throwing this out there to see if anyone else on the board has run one of these trucks.My local hobby shop recently had a sale on the Strike as a roller and my Brother was looking at getting back into RC after a 7 or so year absence.I recomened...

Word is the Strike is on the way out and is going to be replaced this year with something better. Horizon has seen that it isn't a very good product and are working on something better. They know it can't compete with the sc10.
I'm through four steps and I had to give up for the night. The chassis anodizing is some odd brown color, not even close to a Stealth CE I just bought, and the coloring is uneven and blotchy. At least all the holes were countersunk, but of course...

I remember having to phinagle a lot with the original kit bitd. The guys at the hobby shop just brushed it off as that's normal, take your time, its a hobby. If it was perfect then there is not much Hobby in it. That's what we were told and that is...
I've never really noticed before but after comparing a couple pictures side to side I noticed how much photobucket destroys the picture quality once uploaded. Is this normal with all picture hosting sites? I know it doesn't help I'm using my phone...

There's usually an option to auto-downsize uploaded pictures to image hosting sites, because even in this day and age of modern technology, far too many people still don't know how to resize their pictures when their digital cameras take uber-hi-res...
How are the reedy lipos? I am looking at getting a 4s 5500 60c or my truggy? And was just wondering the quality? I have never liked hard cased lipos i like soft lipos but i found this reedy and was wondering what they were like? Thanks dj

There is a thread on rctech.net(search venom broke rctech) where someone opened the battery to try and fix it Venom joined the discussion and told them to send it back for replacement. If it is dead worth a try anyway.
