Default RC4WD's Pricing

hey i was wondering if rc4wd based their prices off 1:1 scale and just dividing by 10but really i think it might be the case because i was just comparing prices like t cases, transmissions and shocks in trail gear. also the toytas are 600 dollars and most real yota rigs are around the 6 grand range.

I've found that, in general, their products are very high quality and worth every penny. You'll find very few plastic parts coming out of RC4WD.

Ya I think their prices are pretty fair and you generally get a good product. They hit the nail on the head with the XR gears, it is hard to beat a gearset that costs $40 and is pretty much bulletproof.

Why is this posted in the Tech section? That's my question.

Actually its under the heading "General Tech" so this should be moved to either Chit Chat or the RC4WD vendor section.

That's not attitude...that's just Duuuuuuuude. I'll translate for you:

I like their stuff, but the $20/set increase they made last month on a bunch of their beadlocks really put a crimp in my wheel purchase plans. I wish there was more competition for scale parts.

IMO their stuff is great but at the same time I feel it can a be a tiny bit over priced with the larger items and tires are a tad much at $30 a set.

The media. The National Guard won't do anything for me. At least the media can spread the word.
