eBay does sales, 15 and 20 percent off everything on site Max discount 100 bucks. They do the sale usually once a month. So if they have the 20 percent off sale and you buy truggy for 500 you get truggy for 400. Amain sells on eBay and so do a lot of hobby shops. That's when I buy most of my TLR stuff cause you can get 15-20 percent off on it. I've been buying most of my Rc shit during those sales for past year or so Your welcome TLR guys haha

To me, its whats called...the american greed ...just like Traxxas. Horizon and Traxxas should become one. And i'm not wasting anymore of my money on neither one. Seems like Horizon is screwing up futaba here in the states too. Hope Horizon is the next RC company to fail.
Thats what's good with the eBay discount you can use eBay discount code and buy off small hobbys shops online. That's what I do. There is no hobby shops in my area that stock the stuff I need so.

If you look at the list on manufacture exceptions on the coupon, there are alot of companies on that list. I've heard that several manufacturers including Traxxas that don't allow coupons on cars or kits. Reseller markups are pretty low for those products...
If Horizon falls, the industry falls at this point. They are the top dogs. They're not a lot of newly released products that are on sales as soon as released... I enjoy this hobby too much to wish any company in the industry to fail..

Great post Token.
RC companies rely on very lean profit margins. Some discounts create a non-revenue situation and these companies are not in business to give away stuff for free. They do too much of that already with sponsored race teams. They have to make money somehow.
If you’re wishing for any rc conpany to fail, especially a distributor like Horizon who supplies local shops, then you’re also wishing for your own hobby to die and disappear. Think about it.

Discounts and sponsorships will kill the hobby, local hobby shops and manufacturers in the future.

I'm not sure this is how it actually works. I don't think disallowing discount codes impacts how much money Horizon (or any other company using that policy) makes. Keep in mind, those codes are issued by the retailers (at least in cases like Amain) not the manufactures or distributors. I am pretty sure the goal of the policy is to prevent the big online retailers from undercutting the cost that small local hobby shops have to sell at.
To some degree, the policy is also a form of collusion among the big manufacturers.

They will NOT fit. Tyler has driven the X and we were given a rundown on the car. Air filter foam, internal diff parts, some bearings, and the inner hinge pins are pretty much only the same parts from 4.0. There are lots of little things everyone will really like too on the X!
