Traxxas sending cease and desist letters to aftermarket companies then backing off.

Their ethics are reprehensible though, to the point where I'd have a very hard time buying another one from them.

That's the hard part right there. Choosing to not do business with unethical companies.... If everyone stopped shopping at all the unethical companies, we wouldn't have anywhere to shop.

True.

But at point break it would actually force a change in ethics. Wishful thinking - I know.

8. No Traxxas Bashing. This is the Traxxas online community for Traxxas enthusiasts. It will naturally have a pro-Traxxas bias. It’s simple. If you don’t like Traxxas and wish to discredit us with your misinformed rants and opinions, then don’t be a member of our community. Your posts will not be tolerated. You will not be allowed to wage your personal crusade against Traxxas in our online community. Go someplace else.

It is interesting that they feel the need to pre-emptively strike like this. Also, the the length of the rule is a bit telling. If it just said "No Traxxas Bashing." it would be fine; fair enough. After that, they are the aggressors.

I don't have direct experience with their products beyond the Bullet, but I'd give them high marks for durability. At the local carpet oval, the Slashes bash the daylights out of one another. I was terrified every time I put one of my Schuey buggies on the track. When they ran Figure 8, I was terrified for my own safety.

Of course, these are just my misinformed rants and opinions.
