Flaws? What flaws? We don't have no stinking flaws.

If you try to setup a big block V-8 into a VW bug with the original drivetrain things are going to get broke plain and simple. If the drivetrain matches up with the powerplant things will run great. If not then the operator is doing something wrong, or your setup is flawed.

Yeah, like grabbin too much throttle... I agree with all that Jerry, except Traxxas has at least two 6S capable rigs on the market. The ERBE and the 3908 BL Maxx. The 3905 diff cup was a decent improvement over the 3906, but they have yet to address the ring and pinion.

I'm tearing mine up with pussy 4S/9XL "power" haha.. what these things must look like after about a minute on 6S........

Oh I agree with you Redshift. The issues I have are with the poor quality that Traxxas and all the rest of the manufacturers are providing in these RTR rigs. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the ring & pinion systems they are putting into their vehicles is subquality in design and material. I guess it is like most of the mechanical stuff throughout history. The manufacturers purposely build inferior stuff into the vehicles just to rake in the money on after market repair parts or upgrades that should have been part of the original design in the first place. It is disgusting how poor some of this stuff really is. Why can't one honest manufacturer put together the perfect vehicle and rake in the money on the merits of such a piece of craftsmanship. Sure the average Joe would not know the difference, but the majority of us diehard R/C hobbiests will revel in the support. To build any really good R/C vehicle you have to buy the rig from one guy, order the drivetrain from someone else, and the motor from another, and the ESC from someone altogether different. It is just plain stupid the way these guys think from the manufacturing point. These are not full size killing machines with rediculous Gov safety regs to uphold. They are higher priced toys for us big kids. And sure there is a learning curve for the younger croud, but that is just the way life is. Being a good mechanic is not a birth given gift for most, it is a learned skill.

hi all...totally agree guy's, ive allways said nearly all manufacturers make bare minimum products. but to last longer than 5 mins hard use they need x2 what you had spent for a mega list of upgrades.
my girl bought me a rc heli for xmas and ive spent the last month trying to learn to fly with a gyro problem on my heli, got pi#/ed off with it and sent it back for repair or refund, whichever.
and the problem is that most of the electronic stuff we buy today is made in countrys where there is unskilled cheap labour and there are no standards to which products are being made to.
again its all down to money.
i dont know about your country but the u.k needs to think really hard about all the stuff(c@ap) we import, we should be making that stuff to keep the cash in the u.k to a good standard.

ok sorry ive finnished my rant now bye all.
