What happened to the Volac, the ESC01 and all that? Looks like things were off to a good start.

I can imagine what Fred has to deal with daily. Everyone from bashers to hardcore racers asking for very specific hardware...NOW! I really hope Tamiya (Corporation, Japan) steps it up at some point. They make some seriously good race hardware, but the image is being undermined by sometimes flaky support, eternal re-releases of old product and odd product tangents, like LiFe batteries and 380 motors. Poor Fred is the guy who has to deal with that and all of us as well.
