I don't understand how people think something is a rip-off when you do something voluntarily and/or you are not mislead.

I don't see that in this case !

My repsponse would just be "If you can build it better or cheaper then do it!"

I like the chassis!

I like the price!

This is the best crawling chassis money can buy!

the nay-sayers can all go to hell!

Kevin ..Dont try to justify something that is not worth justifying.
If someone thinks its too expensive tell them to buy something else.
BMW dont sell to compete with Hyundai.

I dont think its that exspensive, its right in line with the cost of other chassis's. if you dont like the price for "what you get" it buy something else. just dont cry if you lose to a TCS at a comp.

My CX works great but I am SERIOUSLY thinking about switching to the stick. The TCS looks Bad-Ass! (kevin-any avail. yet? i'm on list, but havent heard )

I just purchased my TCS extreme yesterday, So I dont have it yet, but I must say that kevin has been great at returning emails and explaining the trucks options etc. He has provided the BEST customer service I have received from any company I have dealt with since I started crawling.

Kevins customer service alone is worth the cost of the EXtreme. Like its been said, you get what you pay for!

Yup, Kevin ranks right up there with Bill from RC Alloys as nicest dude I've met that runs a small RC business.

Kevin is Johnny on the spot with answers and return email or PMs.

If you can't afford it don't buy it.

That's why all of us are not driving around in a Ferrari Enzo.

Yeah I'm gonna agree with JIA..out of all the business places i have dealt with, Kevin ( and bill ) both are top notch. Kevin seems to go out of his way at times to make the person happy.That is why I will turn to kevin first

Kevin, I, like everyone else, think your chassis is super innovative. A one of a kind that just takes a genius to have come up with. Honest to God, genius, because it is such a radical take on things. I am actually amazed that you can produce at such a low cost. That in itself is hard to figure out how to do. I know with my TSC's, the laser cut plates were $24 for a set. People don't also factor in shipping costs of materials, of hardware, etc...

I can really appreciate how hard it is to do something like this, especially while balancing an outside life. Even harder than all that, is doing all of the above and remaining friendly and helpful to customers, and being prompt with your services. So keep it up!

Not the point.

I'd still take the Ferrari. Like they always park the WRX's and the dime a dozen Integras up top in the valet.

Thank you very much for the compliments guys. Sometimes (ok, allot of the time), the business can be a real headache and it's really great to here compliments like that. Thank you!
