so when is the real sledging going to start?

Coxy 01-15-2003 07:01 PM

Ok I will start one off.

What’s the go with Coxy. Who in there right might would paint a car in Hot pink. That, as well as he should wear pink himself, can’t even get a gas car because it’s too dirty and he will break a nail. If you want to prove yourself as a good driver get a 1/8th on road car. Also what’s the go with that 3PK. It’s just a oversized temperature gun. As if he knows what all those buttons do. We all know that the big display is only something to get a reflection to look at yourself or to watch Porn video’s on. I have seen you crash only because you can’t see over the drivers stand railing. If there is a height restriction then it should be based on Coxy.

What about Mr Fast Food Bersercoe. Fast food he is but Fast driver he isn't. He is still trying to find out what he is good at (If anything). He just brought a 1/8th off road car and a 1/10th Noisy tourer to see if he is good at them. What's next a 1/8th on road car, god forbid they might even get a full grid then. I was actually watching his car the other day and I thought he was on fire with his driving until he picked up the red and yellow x-ray, I thought he was the red and white x-ray.:nod:

Is there going to be a dB limit???

How about a ground clearance....How low can you go???

How about a "Your Mumma....." class??

Bring it on!!!

All right I'm going to do a serious sledge here and it's not going to be about there driving style......

Oh and I wasn't going to place this in another thread as here seems a good place to vent your splean (if that's how you sell it. BK edit if needed)

In a Hobby Shop thread Oasis complained that the Australian Importers/Distributors are to blame for the RC business going over seas. In most importer cases yes this is true but how can Oasis say this when he works for Metropolitan, the Importer and Distributor of Schumacher in Aus. Is he saying that MH are the only good importer in Aus.

I'll leave it open for comment. Hey I know you've all got something to say about this.

King-G 01-16-2003 10:04 PM

please get some facts H.D..

schumacher is sold by some chosen retail outlets 1 in each state, they purchase directly from schumacher, and pass on those savings to teh racers.

what other pro level kit sells for under 500 bucks?..this is why missions out sell other kits 5 - 1 at metro, because they pass on the savings to the racers,.

YOU WILL NOT GET SCHUMACHER PRODUCTS CHEAPER FROM OVERSEAS!

another example, mission oneway Diff, ($95 retail)

Losi oneway diff for xxxs, $185, with small retailer margin.

associated etc oneways, $150 ish...

I know the cost prices for most of the products, and guess which ones are the most expensive with the smallest margin of profit...the ones from the Major Oz distributors, so in essence I agree with Oasis.

all of the schumacher spares and hopups at metro are on average HALF the cost of the competition pro level equipment.

Metro is a Hobby shop, who stock a range of equipment, one of which is direct from a manufacturer,,,,they are not a distributor!!!..they do not sell on to other hobby shops!

thankyou for your time

squizzytaylor 01-16-2003 10:29 PM

Damn it!

I demand we open a new class for Clubman sledgers! All the serious people can sledge open class.

Who else saw Coxy's attempt at driving gas??? Didn't even get 5 metres and the thing stopped!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just may have had something to do with Besercoe getting the run time equation right :eek:

fastolfart 01-19-2003 01:25 PM

Yea Coxy can even dump a gas car. His rollout might be off so he just trues his tires down.

Well looks like I stepped on the local Schumacher crew's toe's. And since I mistakenly added a real sledge I will apologise to the rest of you. But next time I'll make certain my legal sledge will allow for shorter more legal remarks. Hey I'll even allow the profanities if this will up the standard and the scores. We don't want a good sledge to go to waste do we.

Anyway. I must add that I like the pluck for schumacher price's.

As for getting some facts....Well I'll look more closely next time but one thing that had myself confused is the adverts in racing lines. Schumacher did all there adverts then all of a sudden MH are there. This is not to say that MH shouldn't do this but it is uncommon for a LHS to directly advertise (One page) a single product. It is normally left up to the Distributor / importer to fork out the cash. The Importer (if it is not MH) will be happy. Saves them having to pay for the exposure. Anyone want to pay for my advertising......No..... didn't think so.

King-G. My mistake. No malise. But we importers are not the only one's to blame for the escalating prices or the lack of wanted products not being in the stores for people to buy. In the end it is the shops that deal with the customers. If they don't want to stock product that is wanted then it's there wrong not ours.

Finally, and I know this is way to long, I'm working on my essay skills, Hidden Development work no were near to 50% profit. I wish I could...Make my life much more plesent.
