Someone mentioned Losi, their parent company Horizion markets direct as well. Who has not recieved a flyer from them ? They set a MAP so you cannot under cut them at their own game.
Mark no kidding. Read a few post up. I wasn't trying to make a comparison between the way a dealership is run and racing is run. You missed the whole point anyway. All these tracks are hurting because your trying to invent the wheel. When all you have to do is copy a proven system. I see hobbytown popping up everywhere. Why is that? I guess that's a bad comparison also. If you know so much, enlighten us.
