I am brand new to the hobby I would never have thought about buying an RC car I saw an ad in Motor Trend and did some research into racing as a hobby for when I cannot race my BMW in the winter here in NY. The Slash looked like a lot of fun and has a good group of racers in my area from what I can tell. If it was not for Traxxas and there big ad campaigns and lower cost trucks like my Slash I would never have gotten into this hobby. I am already planning on building a Team Associated RC* kit with a LRP ZR.21X Motor so that I can race in April I figured it should take me about 2 months to build it. Traxxas opened the door for me to get into this hobby and I expect it does for others also, so I think people that come on the internet to bash on Traxxas really have nothing better to do if you are that bored and have nothing to do go bash your car thats why you bought it. When I read people flaming anything on any forum for no real reason I just scroll past it and move to some one with something constructive to say. Next time you are at a race having a good time just think there is a good chance if you look around the reason you are having a good time with these people is because they saw an ad from Traxxas. Just my 2 cents
