wake up rc Companies!!!!

Post by longboardnj »

ok i think this new tamiya bronco looks cool http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=58436 but when i saw this as their new release it was the final slap in the face from the rc companies i could take...dont get me wrong its great that rc companies are making new stuff .. it just seems to me to be way too much high $$$$ stuff coming out and not enough focus on cool new stuff at a good deal...times are tuff... spending over $300 on a new rc is not a good idea for alot of people now...anyone remember the bolink digger??? :lol: :lol: :lol:

From my perspective, there are plenty of low end R/C's out there. While these are pricey, it is a newish chassis and I'm sure Tamiya is going to pimip it as much as they can with different bodies so they can recoup there development costs

Old chassis, new shell. I'd rather be able to buy the shells rather than the whole rig. Most of us toss the chassis anyway, it's the bodies and drivetrains that are in demand.

Hells yeah to that! I've been praying for a Blackfoot or Monster Beetle re-release and I'm agnostic! :lol:

We gen-x'ers are crazy nostalgic. Come on already! Tamiya would be swimming in the $$$ with either of those. I can't believe they haven't done it yet.

The rash is the worst part. You should talk to your doctor, they have medications for it now-a-days. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
