Who cares who builds it just get out and enjoy what you have. This thread spends so much time complaining about stuff instead of just getting out and enjoying what we have. By the way I have 3 HPI's 5B. But my best times I have had in racing have been with guys that run redcat's and other brands we just get out and have fun. Dont care who makes them just have fun with what you have and if someone doesnt have the same brand as you doesnt mean they dont want to enjoy running around with you.
Just run'em and have fun lets talk about something more constructive to the sport.
