Its not a bad thing, they are only trying to introduce new material to hopefully stay on top of the market and hopefully the economy as well. Though even the RC sector took a hit during this recession, I hope HPI's move will come out on the positive end

Yeah, I like it too. I always loved how HPI always did their best to be exacting to scale in their on-road RCs

I'm not saying its a bad thing, I'm saying they releases them all in like a one month time frame, usually, they draw out the new releases so they keep making profits rather than make a huge profit at once and then make no profits later...I think they're in desperate need of some cash.

And no one thinks Losi is releasing alot of new things? 8ight E, 8ight 2.0, 8ight t 2.0, 8ight-E 2.0, 1/10 comp rock crawler, highroller, LST XXL, 1/10 slider, and all their 1/10 RTR's that they released early last year.

IDK, Losis hold their own. The 8eight actually is run by big name drivers and wins races by them, the LST and LST2 trucks are pretty tough RCs, and the Muggy is pretty popular too. I have yet to even touch an Aftershock, but many who have those say those things are tough basher trucks.
