My friends, think of UE as the Tamiya Avante. It was a super, dooper, sophisticated ahead of time buggy, and it was sold for very high prices, but it did not succeed in the long run. Today it's a marvel and only the luckiest would find them. The UE did succeed in the MT market for quite a while, but I guess Mr. Oury no longer has any interest in RC, and besides, we have a bunch of substitutions which are, IMHO, better over all than a pure UE truck which costs over $2000. A Mugen MBX-5T or the new Kyosho ST-RR truggies- being converted to brushless- will put UE to shame on the track. The only trump card that UE holds over the other big names is QUALITY. Mugen and Kyosho are triple A quality, but not as shiny as UE, I know.
Let's face it, dudes, everything has an end and UE seems like it's singing it's ending credit, though I still hope I'm wrong.

Just forget about it for the time being and pick up a highend truggy worth $1500 RTR instead of wasting countless grands on a UE truck.

I think I should post mine for sale somewhere over here....

Duh....:(
