Reno Savoya better step it up, I think he finished in top 3 with XRAY last year now he can't even break the top 30.

Ty Is a machine with both his HB, as dominate as some big names in big sports.

Not my cup of tea. I think Ty should stick to driving and chassis tweaks.

I wonder what happened with Tessmann's truck. I know he broke an arm on the last lap, but it looked like something was going on for the last three laps.

Anyone else getting really annoyed with Hot Bodies delivery time/release date?
I have been waiting since December for the V2 radio tray. Pre ordered it on Tower Hobbies. First it was end of December for delivery date, then jan, then middle of Feburary and now it is March for estimated delivery date.
I don't understand why they release kits or updated parts only to distribute them nearly 4-5 months later. It is quite annoying.

Great results with getting 4 trucks in the A at the challenge. Did have some issues in the main. The old truck was a tank. Just got a new one. Any issues with the new truck in terms of durability ?

It was partially broken. Ty said he thought it was a servo issue until it broke completely.

You should look into the LA Port strike. Everything coming from China/Japan/Taiwan that's on a boat is sitting in the Pacific outside the port waiting to dock and unload. Until recently there has only been one dock working. The strike is affecting everything. I'm almost certain HPI has containers full of product waiting to get unloaded.

I work for a company that sells products made and assembled in Taiwan and we have containers sitting on a ship that has been waiting in the port for weeks.

Don't be so ignorant that you jump to conclusions and automatically blame HPI. There are some things you just can't control, and unless you have a license to operate a port crane then you need to be patient and wait like everyone else.

Here's betting that when the port strike is over, you'll still be waiting for parts. This has been an ongoing problem ever since Hobbico/Great Planes took over distribution.

It's a good thing they don't race truggies at Neobuggy. Ty might not get his repaired in time.

I believe the part Ty broke (Front Arm, at the hub) is a direct carry over from the old truck.
