This ain’t my first rodeo in the rc world.. I may only be 31 but I’ve raced since I was about 8/9 anything from 1/10 nitro to 1/5 gas. Got out for 10 years and here I am back with the crawlers. I think Horizon buying up everything is good and bad but that’s not a topic for this thread. At the end of the day.. these are freakin toy cars.. I’ve seen more guys get worked up in this forum then I ever have in real life racing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk | |

At least part of the community says they want to build their very own personal dream vehicle, people who make these products say that at least some customers want to build their very own personal dream vehicle, people making these products say that they are fans of offroading and want to build their own personal dream vehicle that is too expensive to build in real life. Fact is that a manufacturer is not able to produce a specific personal vehicle for each customer. So why is there this push towards increased scale detail out of the box when it means increased cost and stuff you do not need for your own personal dream vehicle? Some reviewers out there say stuff like inner fenders are expected out of the box by this point etc when that is not what I want at all for example. People sometimes beat each other up in real life racing. Vehicle restioration to complete original state is a niche market in real life. You can put whatever axles under whatever vehicle as long as it complies with certain rules in full scale offroading. Why are these toy cars spearheaded by something narrow and exclusive? Go offroading, not posing. Not trying to upset anyone, quoting that what I found most interesting. | |

Regardless of the opinion of cost vs performance and portal vs straight axle, I'll be on the hunt for a set of 45P's once these start shipping to play around with.

Not that I’m not happy with it this way, I’d see myself buying another kit or 2 if they released these with a 2 door body & their own OEM Rubicon front & rear bumpers. I’m surprised they didn’t drop them in a Gladiator kit first.

I'm new to this crawler thing but doesn't that pretty much describe the whole hobby? At least Axial is swapping things around/offering different configurations (portal buggy, 3 AR60 based kits, 1.9 buggy, decent MT) - Traxxas pretty much called it a day with the TRX4/6. Element seems to be stuck at the Enduro (the Gatekeeper caused a stir but all they really did was add the trailing arms and call it a buggy, that front overhang is horrible). I've been into a lot of different hobbies over the years and this one is nothing new, manufacturers who are completely out of touch with their customers and an aftermarket that tries to close the gap. It's the same in the static/1:24 and 1:25 model world. You have to kit bash or be a sheet styrene fan to have any fun. | |
