I know if I were going to buy a RTR truck to really beat on, it would be a Traxxas. I'm not saying the trucks you owned weren't bad trucks, but basing your opinion of all their vehicles on 2 of the multitudes of vehicles they make isn't nearly enough of a sample to justify a blanket statement like you've made.

I agree, but when the 2 trucks i owned are the 2 most popular r/c vehicles in the history of r/c, it is actually saying quite a lot. But yes it is just my opinion. I will say this much.....traxxas is an innovative company. They did revolutionize the MT market. But it still does not mean they make high quality stuff. Sorry if i hit a nerve.

No, not a nerve at all. I'd just like to see folks on the forum a little less demeaning towards products they've never actually experienced/owned. For instance, if you bought a Ford Focus and it was a lemon, does that mean every Ford product is a lemon and they make nothing of quality? Absolutely not. While I understand it's an opinion, if you influence someone to stay away from that brand because of your experience with a different model of their products, you could be leading someone away from a product that would suit them perfectly fine for their needs.

I've owned their products and wasnt' impressed and nor is my friend with his Stampede. Thats enough to dislike/bash a company in my book. Could care less if you agree with that or not

Tamiya beat them by ten plus years.It could be said that Traxxas rebooted or a re-revolutionized the monster truck,but not solely revolutionized it.
