Of everything I've replaced on my t-maxx, the UE stuff is the only consistent bits. I never dropped the coin on the chassis, but my gears, servo saver and a few other items are all top quality and work flawlessly.

I had a full UE .21 Maxx back in the day. Helped get Robin publicity for his stuff.

Too bad he's pissed off nearly everyone he's ever dealt with. :neutral:

I think I'd prefer a G3R Revo instead. Hell, for $800, you could buy an entire G3R roller and then some.

Its hysterical cause I had a full SM also . When they were the chit. I just recently tried to sell it for 500 bones . I got no bites . I ended up trading it for a NIB Losi jrx-s type R ( thanks LOSI ) . That was the only time that heap brought me joy.

Dont even ask about the elusive "razorback"

X1,000,000 on the his childish behavior . I do know he is a member here. He apparently had some problems with his "special" tank mods for his motorcycle . Not surprised.

I know Sam is a member here, didn't know Robin was as well.

What's the story with the motorcycle tank mod.

He didn't mess with the V-Rod...did he?

He did and gave up on everything r/c.

I still have a full blown UE Supermaxx Thunder. I am looking to finish off my Lightning though and that is the missing piece.

His site is still up: http://ueusa.net/

No updates since '04 though.

Maybe Sam can share some info.
