A name does make the difference though. If you don''t believe me look back to high-school. Everyone "had" to have Nike, Reebok and Adidas. Not because they were better then the wal-mart/k-mart cloths but because of the name. Same thing works with these. People will look at the Smartech magic wheel and say it''s a piece of crap then turn around and say the T-maxx is great. If you take a look at them they are identical though. Makes no sense, but it happens. We already know most are very similar and work the same but people want "bragging rights". People feel "safe" going with a name brand. It makes them fit in...lol

How about metal drive pinions/differential gears for the 1/16th electric buggy? There are a bunch of us who NEED them for lipo and brushless!!

ok...last one..lol

how about ceramic clutch pads? I think they wouldn't burn up as fast as the plastic ones and wouldn't melt to the bell like aluminum when under lots of stress.

most trucks that have reverse end up having problems and most people do a forward only conversion.

I have to agree. The reverse in my revo sucked. Even after setting it up right it would take a long time to even think about swapping into reverse and then you had to hope it would go back into drive..lol With very little driver ability the reverse is unnecessary "fu-fu".

If you need strong braking power like a real car, try the MPO-09 special brake pad:

Its awesome since the material we use is the same using in the read car brake.

I really Like the BUG (Volkswagen) body that comes with the 1/14 car.
I think a lot of folks would buy THAT body if it came in 1/10 or even 1/8 size.
I would definitely buy one for my 1/8 MegaP Truck!!!!

On your website, I would like to see video's of the products but of them being driven in open fields instead of on tracks. I think a lot of people buy more for just the bashing then racing.
