So, for those of us who haven't yet scored the FT stuff, the FT kit is a super value.
Right. Every FT is the same way. The FT shocks are 100.00 alone and right there is the cost difference (actually even still a little cheaper)

And im glad i waited for the the all time best rc company to make another one of the products better by paying attention. Ok ill pay and yeah i feel for the mtk guy and yeah i went slower all season.but i wasnt a full on loser and i enjoyed learning about this truck and btw i was grining watching hartson driving a 4 x today i was so amped just that he had a short bus and i had my 2x and was waiting to learn from a pro then im like what motor are u running he is like oh the reedy 550 immm like oooh wait. Then i ran to grab mine and dam he was gone.
Bro, I bet you: My Brace, MTK's basket, Saddle packs, etc. All these mods they snagged from wherever... I'm sure they're great.
But guess what? In the process of designing and running these parts? We have a much better understanding of the Truck and our part than stuff bolted on in a box. Our stuff will perform as well, possibly better than theirs. I'm all for AE and their stuff. But my Brace is no different than theirs. MTK's is actually better than theirs, the 6 saddle pack conversions look better from how the plate sits on the FT.
I mean this with all due respect, really: You waited for no reason, other than sheer stubborness.
In my opinion.
