do you guys think team associated will come out with a 1/8 buggy? that would be pretty awesome!

patchy

Thunder Tiger owns Team Associated......

i know but what if team associated came out with their own buggy

It will probably be mediocar and squarish like the MGT. I want to see Losi come out with one. That would be nice.

i heard about losi coming out with a buggy one time

Per AE on their forum:

"We have no intentions of coming out with an 8th scale buggy at this time. Team Associated is commited to developing the best 10th scale racers available today. Our TTR division is currently producing several 8th scale buggies that are dominating the circuit worldwide."

ooh

exactaly

I am sure that I've read somewhere that Losi and Mayhem have a kind of connection. There is a lot of parts that are the same on the Mayhem buggy and a Losi MT.

And that's the end of that[:-][:-]

LOL,
Delusions of grandeur I guess

No ones told them everyone is selling them off and going back to 777s and x5s LOL

haha

Nobody's told us that in the UK, I still have 2 TTR's and no intention of selling them for an inferior older model..

I heard the Losi rumor has some truth to it.

Who is selling their S3's?

TA coming out with a buggy? highly unlikely at least for the next 2 years.

Losi on the other hand...

The acronym is actually AE, not TA Sorry, just kidding 'round.
AE is done, TTR already makes everything they sell except for the Team Kits, and that will likely change. TTR owns AE for one reason and one reason only....OK, two reasons. The Name and Reputation. Maybe that is just one. Point is, there will not be an AE Branded buggy as long as the S3 is around. TTR should have marketed the S3 with AE's name like they did with the MGT.

Losi is with Horizon, they will not release a buggy that competes with Mayhem, until it finishes its run, just doesnt make sense, unless it is a rebadged and slightly changed Mathem. Kinda the way that Pontiac and Chevy always have twin vehicles with subtle changes. Horizon should have used the Losi name for the Mayhem. Look at the magic rebadging does in the case of the Mini T, who the heck actually makes that thing?

Rebadging can be a losing situation though, Duratrax have been rebadging Flying Point stuff way too long, and there vehicles have a bad rep, whether deserved or not, as that part never matters in RC. Trinity made a grand mistake with the Spyder, also using a Flying Point Vehicle. I actually laughed out loud when I saw Trinity's nitro starter kit, which is the same kit that comes with the Acme and Smartech trucks on Ebay.

Then there is Ofna, who rebadges two different manufacturers and just floods the market with bash and competition vehicles. If you dont like the Hong Nor stuff, try the Ho Bao stuff, and Vice Versa.

Sorry for the ramble.

they are connected through the horizon hobby distribution.

So whats that 1/8 scale?

what are you talking about

What TTR 1/8 scales are dominating?

ok, now i get ya, and i have to agree, im not sure what their talking about, lol
