Default Why some of RC model are easily unwanted???

Hey guys,

From past few months, there seem to be many Impulse PRO for sale...But very seldom ppl sell off V1R/RR or MTX3 or GT-4 or
NTC 3....
Now, came the latest LD 3.....will it last long in the market???
How about the new Kyosho car which will be out soon.....will you guys buy???

Hope No hard feeling....just for discussion. In the end, hope everyone can have better understanding of this RC market trend with some contribution from some experts...

To what I have study....this RC market is getting slow...maybe due to economic still down...same as Semiconductor also.

Hope you ppl give your truth idea, suggestion or comment....dun give nonsense...

THX....

Serpent Impulse Pro ?
V1r ?

doctor cheng,
maybe u might want to factor in replacement spare part costs such as arm, belt etc. 1 pce of snake arm ard $10, 1 pack of v1r arm $12 incl L+R, upper + lower!!
furthermore convenience of getting spares also a factor too. these are just my $0.02...

Thx bro...Wah you call me DOC CHENG ah....Paiseh leh....But there is a resturant name DOC CHENG at Raffles Hotel....food very nice but very X. 2 person eat can easy S$150+++.

OK, this is what I want to hear from....

"S" arm is very X, is still plastic and break if hit on and is not ALLOY....y must be so "SPECIAL"....

Furthermore, as you can see during any open race....how many S are there...

Hi there, from wat i see on the selling thread, people are getting rid of their V1Rs, serpent impulse and MTX2...IMO people get rid of these cars because a newer version of these cars are out which is why we seldom see people sell off their RRs, 705 and MTX3. As for Yokomo GT4...i dun see many people playing them thats why lesser people selling them..mabbe i am wrong. These are just my thoughts. Cheers.

As a beginner i will see what is the most type people use, then the price then go and buy. For the serpent never see it in any open race, so the car not good enough. That why even SAM himself also never race. Player like his skill don play in open races, what a waste!!!!

Default Speak for Serpent driver

I am not sure myself why we don't need to go open race. However I believe it is related to comfortness , most of us 'snake driver' do not go to open race. Most of what we need has been fulfilled inside the camp. Some may think that we are guniang Maybe, maybe not. I myself very content with my Impulse and some of my friend moved from Mugen or Kyosho to Impulse and don't want to look back ever since. I really think this is just a preference and cars are equally good. I myself dun mind to get MTX3 or V1RR , but what the heck I am so happy here why bother to look around. Be happy
