RE: What do you think
What do you base your opinion on guessing or have you owned one of all the above? I am willing to bet you are just guessing. [sm=spinnyeyes.gif]

RE: What do you think
I have owned several of the brands not all, but have ran with all but the FG. It's just what you think, heard, seen or whatever. Just your opinion of the manufacter in whole. Don't start bs please.

RE: What do you think
I have been in the RC world since 1982 and had many different cars and trucks over the years, this is just my 2 cents.
Associated - Great racing and bashing cars and trucks (my favorite brand)
Losi - #2 for racing cars and trucks but not so good for bashing
Traxxas - they make great trucks
Hpi - Good cars and trucks but have quality issues
Duratrax - cheap good bashing cars and trucks
Ofna - Great 1/8th buggy and trucks
Xtm - I had no experience with them???? But they look OK
Tower Hobbies - Cheap and Toyish
Tamiya - Great onroad cars (who hasn't own a Tamiya car or truck at one time, that says it all)
Hot Bodies - Same as HPI
Shumacher - Very fast but not well though out
Trinity - Good aftermarket parts, Stop trying to make cars and truck or do it right
Kyoshi - Only there 1/8th buggies and high end onroad cars are good and
FG- Very different
I couldn't help myself from replying to this post.
