Default RE: Where is Traxxas

Isn't that RD Logis buggy a re-badged version of the PRP Swift? On this other forum I visited, they outright pummeled that buggy. They all hated it, like 30 pages of why did this break, or if you rig like this you can cure that. I was amazed at some of the things they wrote. Maybe RD Logics upgrades them or something, but if not I would worry about buying one.

I agree though. I would love to see a magazine that told the truth. It would help our hobby progress. It would force the companies to produce higher quality products, or get bombed on by the press. Instead, you get famous people like Chris Chianelli (formerly or maybe currently of RCCA) promoting Smartech on that DIY channel on sattelite, because they pay him. I swear I have read some reviews where I can just tell that the author wants to scream "this thing sucks" but had to write a favorable review anyway.

Take XRC and that cage match article for example. If they could have, they would have wrote six pages of jokes telling how the GS buggy is nowhere near the other five. Or how the Jammin buggy just made the person who determines prices for Kyosho, XRAY and Mugen crap himself. Or maybe the reverse, the OFNA guy got fired, especially since the tag on their new truggy is like above six hondo which I think is a first for OFNA.
