all i have to say is thanks Wolf Hobbies for supporting the Team Magic car and products in the U.S.:nod:

yes i did state that before and I ate my words :) yes Tamiya shocks are on the way :)

the battery is the Core R/C 3250mah:D

yes 3.5 in it now:eek: no i didnt get it from Wolf but I will be buying all my spares parts from him:nod:

I say give them a chance. Just my opinion of course.
The hobby is going thru a bad spell as whole.
Let's see what happens, maybe the car will do well. That is what counts isn't IT?

As far as a PO box or mailing address, I don't care if a company has a PO box, APO...or a 30 bay loading dock as long as they can satisfy my need as a consumer. Support your LHS if they want to try and get the TM parts (if terms are agreed upon) if not then find other options.


Good luck to all....
let's be nice to each other.....we need this hobby to survive. :)

Show us some pics when you have your ready to run.:D Never mind found your pics on another thread.:lol:

lol and its 47 ounces ready to race :)

So it weighs what two 24oz pounder beers minus a sip to get 47oz.:lol:

thats oneway to put it:lol:

Hi RC Riot:

You are right most of this has to handled through our web site and there are some confidetiality issues that we have to follow. But I also appreciate what you are doing by placing this on the forum.

The first thing that needs to happen is for you to try to log onto our wholesale section. It will ask you several questions about you and your business. When you are finished the system notifies me by email that there is a new dealer application. I do some research to find out if you are a real dealer. Out of every dealer application we get there are two that are really someone trying to pretend that they are a dealer to scam a deal. Once your account is activated then you have access to the wholesale site.

Most of our applications are hobby shops and those are straight forward. They just get on line, place the order, I ship it...done. But there are also special cases like yours. I'll list a few: customers in countries with no distributor, countries with a distributor but don't carry the type (i.e. on road, off road, gas, electric) of kit that he wants or parts and then there are clubs in areas that have no store. All of these situations are different and require a special program. Normally we have a policy for stores: No kits if you don't carry parts. We don't want users led down a dead end street. In your case we can modify this a bit. If you want to buy an evaluation kit for your own use since you are the owner of the track we will sell you a kit at the Dealer price as we are confident that you will do much better than you have and that will promote further sales. If you wish to purchase more kits in the future we will require you to buy what we call a "minimum stock kit" It includes arms , hubs, pins and some other high turnover items. This is also for your protection. If you sell a kit to someone and they show up and break a hub (for example) and have to go home and wait for mail order. You just pissed them off and it will have an impact on sales of that model at your track. There is another program that you might consider and this is the perfect time to bring it up... Since there is a shortage of dealers we have a special program for Clubs (or group purchases). Buy 3 or more kits and they will be discounted by $40.00 each. Group purchases of $250.00 or more in parts (i.e. arms not a tire truer) and you get 25% off on those parts plus anything you add to that order of parts (this includes the tire truer but does not include kits or pit bags). Pit bags are also available for a group purchase but the margin is so slim that I don't even make 25% in the first place.

Ther are a lot of other things we can do for you since we a not a big distributor. This gives us the power to be flexible. If you have a special requirement talk to us. We will bend over backwards to make it work for you.

I also need to post that I will not be able to reply to any post for a few days. We are getting ready to go to Seattle and I'm behind on my shipping. I have to take care of my present customers. Notice that none of the negative posts have been from regular customers. This does not mean there haven't been issues. There have, but we do stand behind our promise of do it right or make it right.

Thank you

Wolf

Still waiting.

Seems simple.

There are a group of 6 of us here locally in the UK that are running the E4 in various guises, and we are on the whole very pleased with our cars.

Last weekend I ran a whole lap faster than my PB on that circuit and would have got two laps had I not bust a wishbone on the last lap of the last final, the car just kept getting faster all day, and the conditions were far from ideal with temps only just getting above 4 deg C all day, I had grip a plenty, and I was chasing a gear ratio for my new brushless as well so there was still more speed from that to come!! A fellow competitor took the track record by a large margin and one of the other competitors improved by a good margin as well.

So for all the doubters out there, the car is fast not just in the more experienced hands but also in the hands of the lesser mortals (me), I would recommend it to anyone and a couple of people have bought them on my recommendation and have been very pleased with what they have got, it is a little different to the norm, and it may be a little bit different to what you guys are used to, but it is a superbly engineered car that proves itself time and again.

For me 9/10 very highly recommended, but that is only my opinion!!! (the only way a car is going to get a 10/10 is if it drives itself to the track record and WC every time I put it down!!!)

PM
 

Wolf, check your PM.

MRRCGUY,

I am not speaking for Wolf, but he already posted that he would have very limited time for the next several days. We are having a Hobby Expo/Show in the greater Seattle area that he is attending. The show setup is on Friday so he would be really busy at this point.

In the mean time maybe do what he posted on becoming a dealer if you havn't already. I really think he will do a great job bringing some stability for TM here in the States.

Steve

Here's mine......

Actually we got together and made some arrangements. Im just following up on that, but I forgot he had a show to go to.

Marcos...have you tried fitting a CORE5000 pack or Orion 4800?

yes i have here is a picture with the core r/c 5000 , just a little trimming and 2mm worth of shims to raise the top deck and is a perfect fit.It should have no effect on the handling of the car with the raised top deck:)

I must say after running this car today all I can say is wow! the car has so much steering and corner speed!

do you think it like a nitro car.

:confused: no

Weight
 

Where are you placing lead? Hmmmm...we might see the first E4 at the MDi race in a few weeks?

Can you see your car on the track OK?

LOL some bright color:sneaky::lol:

Are you running on carpet, or asphalt?

Got any Pics from other angles?

I just want to know who paints your body. I really really like that. very impressive

I agree

Wolf had a E4 at my track, and while he messed with his gas car all day, he let my play with his E4 all day! Made some changes to the car, and all

Wolf is a super nice guy, and I would def buy stuff from him if I had a E4 (lol no money:smile:)

lol. i like mine so much that i bought a second one today:)

weight?? :lol: if i go i might just run 5 cells so i wont have to add any weight :lol: yes its going to suck if they dont change the weight for tc but i can find the room if i need to:lol:

thats why i picked that color :lol: i only race asphalt:). The car today was pretty good maily ran the box stock set up, im going to try some things but honestly the stock set up is pretty good, the car has tons of steering:nod: too bad i stripped the rear belt in the beginning of the main (mod) I actually forgot to change the brake EPA when i changed motors and had way too much brake :(

More steering and more reactive than the Type R?

yes and yes:nod: even my friend that runs a type r told me that he liked my car:)

:eek: Elephants must have flown today...where's WOLF?!:lol:

lol

Well arent you special :sneaky:

lol

dont know if any of you are having any problems with the blades sliding out of the dog bone but i have , and i did this little mod to prevent it from happening. I use a cap from a sharpie marker and it fits perfectly:)

Where's Wolf???????

All over the pacific northwest. We got back from The Northwest Hobby Expo at 4:00 this morning. It was a great time, met a lot of great new people and a lot of existing TM fans. They had a carpet track set up (they kept saying the carpet being old but it seemed great to me). Mike (my son) was sick as a dog in the room all day on Saturday but dragged himself down for a little while on Sunday. We put the car together (E4FS) with what we had laying around (NiMH batteries and a stock brushed motor). The tires were left over from the Stockton carpet track (about 3 years old). I took the car out first to set up the radio and ran the pack without peaking them and was turning 9.4 second laps. Mike ran the car next and replaced the rear tires (Jaco green) and ran high 8s by the end of the second pack. The only car that I saw that was faster was a 1/12 scale (but I did hear about a touring car that was quicker than his time but not by much). Not bad for a stock car with stock springs. After about 3 packs he went back up to his room. The moral of this is that there is potential for this car. Not bad for a "Foam Spec" car on rubber tires. Once the weather gets better we will scope out an asphalt test track to work on the car more. We are also working on a "Wolf Hobbies Spec" car. More on this next week. I'm going to be out of comission for a few days while they sew my arm back on but if there are any real urgent issues just email us and my backup will take care of it. Overall it seems like you guys have things pretty well handled. If there is something going on in the thread that needs (or wants) my input, I hope that someone will email me to check it. Most of the time I'm either filling orders or talking to dealers. You guys are very important to me but I just can't be everywhere at once. I am trying to buy some of the E4RS kits but I won't know if they will fill the order until they send me the bill. I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Thanks

glad you are back Wolf!! let me know when those KFactory rear hubs come in :)

Why can I not find where to buy this thing? I want to buy one for my lady friend, she like to play with these things with me, and knows quite a bit about them. I personally race Schumachers and Tamiya's, but this has caught hers and my eyes. Can't blame her, she has always had wonderful taste. What versions of the car are out now?
