TLR22 parts aren't going to happen, Losi is a Horizon hobby only part and they want us to place a 15,000 dollar order to start up with them. That ain't going to happen, sorry.
Sorry, I did not mean to ruffle any feathers. I am just trying to help by giving honest feedback. I know everyone at TT is doing their best to provide a quality RC experience.

Oh you didn't ruffle at all! I was just explaining why we don't have Losi parts. Its not that we don't want to stock stuff for you guys, its just right now we don't have that much fundage to throw at them We still are puttering along on a cash only basis, no loans.

I appreciate the input

AS for TT I would not worry about Losi. Just keep going as you are. If Losi does not want to be part of the racing scene there are other 2wd buggys out there that do a very good job getting around the track. I have seen some very fast Duatrax cars and trucks. I don't know if sportwerks is still in but that was a very good car for the price I wish Traxxas would build another buggy and truck, the schumacher is wonderful but pricey. Just a thought.

Gas stuff makes the most sense. There is a huge offroad gas following here in GA but not a good place to buy race-ready supplies. If you start stocking gas supplies, you attract those gas guys as well as give them some exposure to electric racing. Parts for gas get sold + potentially more racers on the track (and their wallets).

I dont think you need to do anything but continue to be the best indoor 1/10th offroad facility in the area. Expand if you find a bigger building or another opportunity like that, but I dont care if you sell gas car parts or RC Heli parts. Parts, Trucks, Losi stuff,,, that all comes and goes. Just continue to do it all well.

I would really like to see TT expand into the Adult novelty business. You know there are just never enough of them around and I am sure it would increase your drop in traffic.

Also, I would suggest some sort of oval program. Some way you could arrange an oval race for folks that prefer chasing their tails in circles....I was a dog in my former life. Might be a way to sell more stuff....sprint cars/oval pan cars etc etc

PS: I heard that medical Marijuana was a Growing business.....get it...growing...the double entendre...I snicker

If I can con somebody into ordering a DEX410 and there 4x4 SCT I can get set up with them. I have to order 2 kits and a supply of parts before I can be a dealer for them. There such high dollar stuff I am worried about taking the gamble on them. I am currious about there 2wd buggy when it comes out though.

I had forgotten about kyosho, very good 2wd and 4wd. Tamiya keeps coming out with new and very good offroad but you have to buy them when they come out before they are discontinued about every other week. Very sad.

They can get Kyosho now. The only problem is I am the only one that runs a Kyosho regularly(only 2 others around for a total of 3) and the durability means I am stocked for parts for a long time already.
