HB is only popular because TY is winning... If Ryan and Ryan was winning with the RC8, it will still be flying off the shelves..

What wins on Sunday - sells on Monday.

Dude... at the track, there is one guy who is always wearing an AE t-shirt everywhere he goes... To Work, To Race, To Holidays in Hawaii... he have always a picture of him somewhere fancy wearing a frikin AE Shirt and throwing SO MUCH MONEY DIRECTLY TO AE BANK ACCOUNT!!! SOOOO CRAZY AS THE HELL!!!!

That same guy is currently so piss'd off due to the lack of support from AE with their INCREDIBELY aged car... that is going to switch to HB!

I can't BELIEVE AE is selling cars SOOOOOOO old!

No. It's popular because those of us who took a chance on it before Christmas, have proven it to be an awesomely competitive car, our friends have tried it and agree that it's f'ing awesome, none of the parts break on it, and the people on the tracks everywhere are starting to take notice of this fact. While they're replacing their suspension arms from breaking, we're left with more time to do other more important things.

For months and months "everyone else" have been giving us stick about "oh the car isn't in stock", now it's been in stock for ages, and people are buying it, and they're all discovering it's f'ing awesome.

If you haven't driven it, you can't really judge it. Go buy one, find out for yourself.

When you drive it you smile so wide it goes straight round your head, and you have to be careful not to decapitate yourself from smiling too hard!!! Stick that old AE on ebay and get a D812, turn that frown upside down

I'm not sure if is true BUT, i eard a lot of people complaining from AE saying the parts come in the box SO rusted that they have to ship them back...

IF this is true, it's a COMPLETE JOKE

I moved in Belgium but I'm french (I try to do my best to cure that ).. belgian people are more funny to hang out with but you're right about the MP9 I'm almost the only driver using one

yeah I know Miko, he doesn't drive rc buggy so much anymore.. last time I saw him was in a local endurance last year now he's more into painting 1/1 scale motorbikes and racing karting if I'm right

back to flaming AE

please AE drivers don't take it too seriously

Watch the video Jason Snyder just posted of him driving Ty's D812. The car looked loose and sloppy and slow with Jason driving. You would get whooped by Ty driving an AE, no matter your D812. By the way, doesn't the 12 in 812 mean it's like 2 years old now? OMG, another 7 months and the car will start rusting and like, be junk and slow, and like, OMG

Sure a lot of haters in here. They think because they have latest kits there #1. What has changed in last 5 yrs of 1/8th scale racing in car design not much. Comes down to adjusting car to your style of driving period most of it is right tire.

Just proves my point, nearly everyone driving Kyosho claims it's the "best" buggy you can buy. You claim D812. Both claims = fail.
