You say that as if it's a bad thing.
I don't own any HPI stuff, so I can't say anything about them...as for traxxas stuff, I don't see it as being any better than the less expensive asian branded products I own. I'm sure others disagree, but if Traxxas stuff is really that durable, why do you see build thread after build thread of people buying traxxas stuff and then immediately replacing the whole drivetrain/arms/etc... with aftermarket parts?
If I lived in the continent where most RC parts are manufactured, I'm sure I can spend less money building myself something that is much more fun anyway. I wouldn't have to worry about parts breaking because cheap replacements are right around the corner!
Anyway, awesome job with your micro collection!
