So are you saying ROCCK members on rctech have a big "S" on our shirts?

Everyone knows that a lightning bolt from a mage goat is OVERPOWERED. Learn to Warhammer newb!

On the stock SCTE wheels, I was under the impression that they were fine as long as you lose the fake beadlocks and screws that hold them on. Plus I've seen complaints about the DE wheels.

I'm just excited that I can go to HT and get parts for vehicles that aren't Traxxas. I'd much rather support a local hobby shop (even franchised ones) as that will allow more people to get in to RC.

The only complaint about de wheels I have is that I don't have enough of them

Not 100% sure what you are proposing and what I should be doing next with ROCCK. Can you elaborate?

ok, forgive me...I just said I was done but had to take note that your idea of tact is to tell Kris (who is trying to build up HT) that you'll put him in touch with all the local racers; but at the same time tell him ROCCK is bringing competition to town to sell against him???

hmmm, my "S" shirt may stand for "Smartass". Would your's stand for "Shifty" or "Scheming"?

Heh yeah I thought it was kinda odd he mentioned the ebay store thing. We don't mind the competition though, forces us to do the best job possible.

I knew you wouldn't leave me Gouge

It looks like I should be able to get SAVOX servos through one of our distributors, HRP. I'll talk to the owner about getting these servos in when I work tomorrow.

I have submitted an email with DE Racing about getting their stuff.

So I am trying to put 2 and 2 together? What are some ebay stores the begin with "S" or have an "S" as a symbol? I know I am slow, Stormer Hobbies? Or Gouge's "Smartass" hobbies?

What John is referring to is commonly referred to as the "Keyboard Cowboy". Hence the "S" on the shirt.

I don't wear the "S". But, wearing a cape whilst on the internet does help with perspective and from my experience increases bandwidth as well. Just sayin....

Me too. That's the first time I have heard of Keyboard Cowboy. Usually I hear the term troll instead.

Soooo should I not get the SCTE stock rims? As for DE Racing, I do not see them listed on my distributor's websites so I'll have to research that one a bit and see what I can do.




I'll add this to the list! x2



I'll add the kit one to the list too. Mitch recommended the truggy so I put it on there.

Thank you for the feedback!
i wanted the truggy lol. doesnt have to be on there.
