Mods are brown-nosing VP?

[Scrap]

Why are all threads about the chinese versions of VP wheels deleted while other manufacturers chinese copy threads are allowed to stay?

Stupid favouritism from the mods. Unless the main objective of this site is to market the ridiculously overpriced VP wheels.

I thought this site was supposed to be about RC and not just promoting one company.

Either delete ALL threads about products that are copies of other products or delete NONE.

Get your act together mods.

Yea fight the power! You're going places for sure. Not sure where, but I'm sure it's somewhere.

Vp is a sponsor of rc crawler. Jason made a very clear post about this topic.

Yea and I'm pretty sure that was the last time jason or badger was here other than when axial releases a new rig. They'll always pop in for that.

The journey is more important than the destination.

Besides what are they going to do? Ban me?

One less forum to go through each morning.

Let's move the thread.

But why not crack down on the other copy products? Why just the VP wheels?

[EeePee]

I did move thread because it wasn't a tech post.

Do you go to other businesses and tell them how to run it, all the while insulting the employees that are doing their job?

Feel free to look for the thread the owner of this website chimed in on to explain why.

[Scrap]

Clearly the mods are NOT doing their job because there are tons of threads about other copy products.

You really have to get your act together. Either delete all copy product threads or leave them all alone.


Looky what I found!

A rc4wd ripoff transfercase topic with links:

2 speed chinese transfer case

Why is that allowed to be here?

Such as?

I'd also like to know why nobody from VP has a blue star anymore? Not counting Harley's red star here.

They stopped renewing their vendor stars last year when the chicom wheels hit the scene and everyone not firmly attached to their nut sacks went gaga over them.

How dare you question VP! Their decals add 10 scale horsepower and their other upgrades add even more power, an invisibility cloak for sneak attacking the rocks, and unobtanium durability!

There are vendors on here that have copied off of other vendors and it's allowed here. Why? Because they bought a star. If the Fanquish manufacturer or resellers bought a star it's my bet that it would be perfectly acceptable.

I didn't realize VP didn't have stars anymore. That's funny.

I have some VP products and they're probably the most overrated brand out there. They don't live up to the hyper or the extra cost.

Here is some unrelated food for thought. It's because of China (Hong Kong) that we in Europe can buy original Vanquish products. I have bought plenty of American RC products (blown my budget countless times), including Vanquish, and it's all through certain Hong Kong based online shops. Why? Because American shops blatantly discriminate European customers by charging outrageous shipping prices. If I want to buy a servo extension cable, costing maybe 5 dollars, most big shops in USA charge around 30 dollars shipping to Europe. Nobody can live with that.
So, ironically, it's because of China that RC crawling can even be enjoyed in Europe.
Once I contacted Crawler Innovations about some products, and they advised me to get their stuff not from them, but through Hong Kong.

So, many thanks to China from Europe

Ever run a business?......... if not then ever walked on a string?

you would realise both are pretty much the same

[allanon1965]

Well the way i see it...this site is their tinker toy to run how they see fit...dont like the way they run it? The choice is yours..simply dont come here.

I am not advocating for either side..its just that simple..dont like how its run then dont come back...otherwise who gives a rats a#$? I dont have any issue with how they run it...if i ever do..i wont be back. See how simple that is?

That is a fact. You can blatantly copy anyone and even mention it in a thread pertaining to your {their} part and nobody cares as long as that blue star shines bright. Even if the vendor you're ripping off has a blue star too.



I will agree that some parts from VP are over rated for sure but those are parts that are over rated by any manufacturer. Alloy axle housings are at the top of that list. When a company improves on the design of a product not just copies it or makes it out of a pretty color I will run it. Clamping inner c's and steering knuckles from vp are the best products on the market in stock type replacement part for ar60's. They both are huge improvements over the pieces they replace.
