They make very bad cars, i have seen a few of the nitro onroad cars that they make and they suck.

Yea we all hear of it or see it from time to time. Somebody new to the RC world see's a cool looking cheap car and buys it. No matter if its just for running around the driveway or rompin' around in the dirt. Soon they're looking for help at the LHS, where they shouldv'e went in the first place. If it's not on a shelf at RC hobby store odds are its junk or parts will non exsistant. I remember a guy getting mad at the kid behind the counter at a LHS a few years back. He was saying "if this is a RC hobby store how come you don't have parts for them?" I couldn't help but jump in a talk to the dumb weasel. I told him to open his eye's and look behind the counter where 1,000's of parts for RC's littered the wall. I quickly reminded him of those good ol' sayings, Buyer beware and you get what you pay for..... I asked him would he spend 15k+ on a real car that looked cool but couldn't get parts or service done on? Then looking at him I realized he was actually thinking about what I said hard, I was waiting for the"well maybe". Told him if he wants to get pissed at somebody go home and look in the bathroom mirror and leave the under payed guy alone and let me get MY PARTS!!!!!!!!!
