Thanks for the tips!
I'd rather you didn't call my LHS to get them stock parts. I'd rather go to an internet store for the time-being or someone that already carrys the NEW parts.
I'm the only I know for FACT in my city that runs an M1B. Last thing I need is my LHS stocking a bunch of parts, thinking there is a huge demand when there isn't at this time. And I don't want him mad at me that he's stuck with a bunch of parts and I'm the only one buying parts....
I'll try that number below!
Thanks

Are you being sarcastic?
I simply asked where can I get the parts. I did't say, "Hey try pimping your parts to my LHS..." or "Gee, I wish my LHS carried TM M1B parts, cause then I'd go faster and run better"....How about fixing the issues first.....
Trying to sell my LHS on carrying TM parts is ridiculous at this point. Why should he carry a few hundred dollars or more in inventory when there is literally only one person in the Metro Denver area driving an M1B?
I know I wouldn't. As a person that also owns a business I wouldn't want to carry inventory for only one person for a product that so far has been a "no show" at any meaningful events here in the US let alone locally.
TM has to remember that saying, "Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday"....
Until TM can start showing US nitro racers a reason why to buy their buggy, I don't see the point in any LHS carrying the M1B....
Yeah, should have known you guys weren't here to help us but pimp your latest POS and push parts....
Thanks for nothing, don't bother with anymore help especially if it comes at the price of sarcasm....
Anyone want to buy a never run TM M1B roller with spares? 300.00 bucks plus shipping...

As I said.
I'm sorry you had a bad experience with this car. You are obviously mad and I can well understand.
I was not trying to be sarcastic. I was truely just trying to help you get parts and make that process easier, that is all. I felt you were throwing my efforts to help back at me, that is all. I did not mean to sound sarcastic or mean to offend you any more.
One of the hurdles we face is the feeling that there is no one who stocks the parts for our cars. We are trying to remedy that by asking dealers to stock these cars and the parts.
We wanted to produce a buggy and we made some mystakes and again, I'm sorry you had to pay for those mystakes made. But we are trying to remedy the cause and try to ensure others do not suffer and get angry as you have done.
If you still believe I was being sarcastic or ridiculing you in any way. I apologise. As I apologise for my spelling
I wish you well in RC what ever you drive. And I hope you have fun doing it too.

British Menace,
There is no need to be sorry you are just trying to help everyone get parts, get this buggy reliable and for that I'm sure everyone thanks you.
I know I myself have even been quite negative in previous posts but I would like to say this buggy has got a lot of positives and we should all start pulling from those now that TM has fixed strength.
I know this buggy has a lot of great handling, speed and quality parts now lets all get on with the job of driving it into our clubs A mains.
So everyone knows it's had its problems and I could pull quotes out of every buggy thread and prove to people that all have had problems with theirs too.
No more Flames just share information.
Thanks

Thanks people!
I know there were going to be negatives, but it's because you guys have been able to bring them to our attention that we have done something about it.
Now I am really optomistic about the future of this buggy as we all know it has good design qualities.
I want to get mine soon as then maybe we can work together over getting this car where it suposed to be........up there with the best of them. I'm certain it's good enough to do that
Infact when I do eventually get mine I will need some help from you guys on build tips etc as I have not raced off-road much at all. I used to work in a store a while ago and played around with them over the years and was always told I should race them as ".................I would be good at it?" they said.
Well we'll see as I intend to race this car. You know what, I will drive the b*$$s off it too so it will either win or break in the heat of trying. Either way I will find out if this car is worth it's weight in salt I assure you of that !!
I took a little known car which people said was no good and won a midland champioship with it. I'm going to see what I can do with this............
Lets do what Bmac said. The issues have been sorted. Lets go race it........share information.........share what works and what doesn't and let's see if between us we can turn a few heads
Best of luck to you all. I'm calling the boss to make sure I get one of the first in........................and if it's going to be too long...............I may just take up bushyar15 offer. Either way.............
Thanks again.

Yeah,
When you do get it you will be pleasantly surprised as the kit is so easy to put together, everything fits beatifully together and there is no need to dremel anything as with some kits.
The quality of the parts screws, diffs etc.. is excellent, and the manual and packaging is one of the best I'ves seen. Make sure that you pull apart and loctite all the uni joints as it can be embarising to lose a pin in the middle of a race. Get one of Ari's setups of TM's website whilst building and you can't go wrong.
