Hi , the first (and last?) rerelease from AE is not a 6010 or a Worldcar, but a T3 RTR ...
Distribued and manufactured by Thundertiger (Europe only), it has the same specs as the T3: stealth tranny, front and rear aluminium parts...but it has plastic shocks, bushing, and...........metric screws
I don't mind the metric hardware, it's just the fact that the over-all quality of AE stuff is going down the tubes that bothers me. And it is going down the tubes.

There was some work on that at some point, but it never materialised (except a teaser on Hirobo website (about 2 years ago, probably 3, at least), but that teaser disappeared later on, and since then no word about it)...
I am pretty excited. First new RC purchase in about 10 yrs. I ordered a Rerelease Grasshopper for my 10yr old son for Xmas. (Notice how I stopped buying RC stuff about 10yrs ago AND I have a 10yr old son? LOL)
I wanted a good solid beginner kit...

Good points! I guess I'll start looking for another Hopper or Hornet. I'm glad I bought his brand new since it's a gift, but I'll look around for a beater on the bay and craigslist. Do you guys realize how much I'm kicking myself right now for...
Share some of my modifications done to Optima and scorpion....

I suppose it's easy enough to check. If after a good run your motor is warm and the motor guard isn't, neither the guard or the fan is doing a whole lot of cooling. :)
