RE: Smartech Titan/ owners review

The stock engine in the Carson version is a CY28. It's not bad at all.

RE: Life with the FS truck - long term review

RE: Smartech Thunderbolt Video 2 with some jumps...

You're serious?
Honestly, no offense, but your TMaxx clone was junk.

Smartech, you're really grasping at nothing now...comparing branded and OEM? What does that have to do with anything?

You deserve the props Foxy. The detail in your review was fantastic, and you know your stuff.

RE: Smartech Thunderbolt Video 2 with some jumps...

Wow...that's brutal.
I HATE company's that try to control pricing. It's none of your business.

Unless...

RE: fs racing 4wd?

What a difference in prices... It's worth waiting for x-rover.
Weird because I think that it was the opposite for stock parts.
Gas Tank
FS Racing - $11.18
X-Rover - $28.00
