Mike, I honestly don't understand your style of marketing... But whatever..

In regards to the pic chris was on his A game today! I had nothing for him due to the lack of practice on my part since I had to work in the morning/missed qualifying plus fighting a nasty cold. Congrats on your win Bud!

+1. Probably not the best way of marketing IMO.

Yup, with such a misleading thread title and openly bashing TLR. I would've expected a higher level of professionalism from a Company Rep/Owner..

Awesome thread! Good marketing! Caster just went up a couple notches in my book.... Really.

It's called Rivalry people... It's a good thing!!!

Everyone in our current society gets butt hurt way too easy these days. In real racing back in the day, car manufacturers openly bashed each other.

For every 5 people who get upset there's at least 5 who love this type of thing. Sure it's not the typical hum drum "we won a race" ad... At least it evokes some emotion.

I understand his point which is the car is competitive with all of the other brands. Good job guys! I think from the average consumers Point of view tho they would like to see A caster when a major event. Roar nats or something of that caliber. Even then most aren't sold because it's not the easiest car to get parts for. I've driven one before and they drive pretty nice.

Another note. I'm sure the winner could've easily won with a losi,AE or any other top 1/8e electric car. Just saying they're all competitive.

haha...."POS" huh? You wouldn't say that if you have driven one. I've driven the Losi and the Caster handles and drives better all day long. Sometimes you crack me up man....

I agree with the "butt hurt" comment. Come on people it's freakin RC cars. Some of you need to grow a pair if the thread title gets your panties in a wad.

Way to go Krio....Caster is the real deal.

I'm not butt-hurt at all. I just think it's a low-blow for marketing. I've never seen any of the bigger companies do anything like that or I'd say the same.
I've never driven either the Losi or the Caster.

Meh , it is what it is ..... Mr Mazza hasnt been known to be the most diplomatic , but its not like he titled the thread Losi buggies suck ! Caster RULEZ ! like I have seen from others on this forum (just using Losi vs. Caster as an example) ...

No problem doing a victory dance if its done tastefully ........ Congrats on the win , maybe you should get your driver some shirts for him and stickers for his car so you can tell what hes running ?

The wing and body make it look like an RC8 ?

+10...this is exactly what I was thinking...how come no caster shirt or stickers? When I worked in the industry it was required by our drivers to run our stickers, just in case of instances like this...
