Just because you are sponsored by someone doesn't mean you have to use their products, but it does mean you have to endorse them.
Most RC sponsors,If you are contracted with them 'Require" that you not only Use their products......also,you must purchase regularly.....most ,require a purchase within 90 days or they drop you as a driver....
reason being that if you are not.buying....... you nor they are furthering your Racing!....also,required to fly there banners and wear there shirts.....at all race events
I'm a sponsored snowboarder on a national level, I love the products that my sponsored give me but i gotta tell ya, some of it is complete garbage as well. Every company produces good products and garbage ones, some just produce more garbage than others.

I dont wanna waste time and money buying the wrong stuff for it!!
I'm off Topic and I'm gonna get flamed but who cares!
I'm sick of reading some of the BS people insist on posting. I know they can have their opinion but when you start telling others what is THE best, it's going to far IMHO.
I'll never get the need some people have to prove that the kit they bought is the best. It's like the kid who got an Xbox for Christmas and then went to school after the break and told everyone else that a Playstation sucks. Shouldn't we all grow out of this attitude?
In my own experience, I took a M16 Carbine to war with me in Afghanistan with a Browning 1911. Are there better guns out there? Could I have had a faster rate of fire? A more accurate weapon? Well YES but honestly WHO CARES!! Those guns kept me alive and I would trust them to do them same next time because I know them well, I am comfortable with them and I have confidence in them. The same should be true with any equipment we use in our lives.
A Porche 911 Turbo may be a crazy fast car but I will put up faster lap times with a VW GTI because I know it well, I am comfortable with it and I have confidence in it.
I would rather hear why you like and what you like about your kit and then, what you would like improved about it? An honest objective post about a piece of kit's strengths AND weaknesses is a lot more interesting than fan boy drivle.
Everyone runs the kit they want for the reasons they want, leave the shameless plugs and advertising to the TV infomercials and lets stick to discussing ways to enjoy and improve our trucks. Unless of course your life's ambition is to be Billy Mays

Wait, Gatoraids not good for you?
With a sponsorship it should also be up to you to provide product feedback to help fix the issues you have with something they give you to ride or test. No one wants to ride garbage, but the feedback they got before had to help produce that garbage.

All in all, no matter what a company does with their products, you will always have people that complain and moan just for the sake of it.

Whaaaaat, one of my favorite skateboards that I rode in the 80's, was the Uncle Wiggly "Fishstik" epoxy glass... That deck set a new standard, was very different from everything else.
Got one of these trucks on order. Can't wait to get it on the track. Is there a way to tell if I got one with the good diff pins?

[QUOTE=hacker07;9608702]There is a ton of information in the first post of this thread. The TLR tuning kit combines a number of the hop ups but it depends on if you feel you want all of what it comes with.

If you just bought it then chances are that you'll have no issues. Only the first run had soft diff pins. 2nd run and beyond have the hardened pins. 2nd shipment trucks have a sticker on the battery tray that ends in A, and I believe 3rd shipment (and beyond?) ends in AA.

No problem, if you have any questions as you go along, many of the answers are here, but always feel free to ask away. Enjoy.
