Truth.

The cool thing about Block is that, despite his lack of talent compared to other pros, he somehow manages to get factory rides. Plus, he manages to keep his name and his brand on a high level. And he's a self-made millionaire as a result of DC Shoes. It's hard to hate the guy IMO.

The always over-hyped Tekno just released their 1/10th scale truggy kit and they upped the ugly-ass modern body to a whole new level. WTF?!

Were they trying to make it look like an ugly character from a kid's animated show?

Welcome Thomas the Truggy.

Ooooo them are fighten words on others forums. Not a racer so don't know the hype but my MT410 is in contention for the crown in my go fast fleet. Probably never knock my Losi Mini off but fun to try. Other than the body mounting it is the most durable of anything I have owned in the 1/8 scale size.

100% agree that is ugly as sh*t but will sell like mad (when they actually make it).

for sure!

I'd love to know the weights of Tekno vs the competition. Sure, they are durable vehicles because they are overbuilt, but that comes at the expense of being heavy.

Couple peeps said she's not pretty, (she is) some people are just perfectionists when it comes to surface things like looks that fade eventually. Unfortunately I'm spotting what looks like implants, not a fan of that unless you've been in a horrible accident.

Whenever I've seen her... she just does nothing for me. Tbh... in the buff without make-up, she probably looks like a train-wreck. Crazy how different people look without all the foundation, false eyelashes, lipstick, etc. Regardless of a woman's looks or "features", so much of it for me is about how they carry themselves, how the speak, mannerisms, sincerity when they talk, etc, etc. May sound like bs but it's not. A quirky, natural looking, humble girl will have my attention and affection much more effortlessly than any woman that sends out a self-righteous attitude no matter what either of them look like. I see that woman posted above and I actually cringe.

All that being said, I'm recently married so I did not say any of that.

I said it, but it was tongue in cheek. I know sarcasm doesn't translate through text.

Welcome Thomas the Truggy.
There's very few 1/10 4wd truggies on the market and probably not a lot of racing. So who exactly are they trying to sell this to?

I wondered the same. It probably won't have a long shelf life because I doubt it will sell. The only way it'll stick around long term is if bashers or racers feverishly embrace it.

These two don't understand the risk associated with doing such stupidity just for fun.

somethings up here. columns always have a center post inside(wood or metal) and a wraped in stone/brick for looks.

i dont even see how the building could have been built
ie the wobbly columns they had build first, to set roof trusses on? somethings up.
