The people that should be butt hurt are the AE guys. Even the cars that did do well ARE NOTHING like the kits they come with. At least Kyosho and HB ran cars that pretty much were the kits with maybe a few mods. Holy cow the 2wd and 4wd AE cars would take someone another $200+ to modify them just to get them competitive.
Oh wait I am running all AE stuff and butt hurt. That's why I really think I am going with this car when it comes out.
