UE is totally unmatched in engineering, radical geometry improvements that improve handling and cornering, fit/finish is impeccable, and the quality of metals used are top notch as well. no other company - leading company or aftermarket company - makes anything that comes close.

it took me almost 2 years to build my supermaxx only to find that suddenly parts are no longer available. i don't build shelf queens, and it would be stupid to drive it and damage anything. i doubt anything would break, but even a scratch lessens the value.

it's totally sh*tty that robin didn't give any explanation. i've asked - he nor sam won't tell. word on the street is that robin and the machining side of the company (forget the guys name) parted ways. so UE r/c is no more. he can pump out all the friggin' harley gas tanks he likes, but i'm through.

so i sold the entire thing last night, and all spare UE parts i had.

That sucks. I tend to collect the strange rc has-beens. I bought the last thundertech pede chassis, and I have a racebomb too. Anyone know if bomb-proof are going to make anymore stuff?
