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....:(


The name is Alawi. You can call me Al.
Nice to meet you!

That's right. Most of us has more than just one type of RC vehicle to play with. Sure having one of the UE SuperMaxx trucks is a pretty cool thing to show off, but if you cannot find the parts you want for it, then play with something else for the time being. Place whatever orders you can with UE and check back with them from time to tome to see if what you want is in stock. Both Sam and Robin have said if there was something that I wanted t purchase, to just email them and they would try to come up with the parts for me.

It sounds like they are trying to keep from stocking up too much stuff, which equates to having money lying around on the shelf. If you want something them ask them for it. There are however some things that they just do not plan to make available again, like the "Lightning Chassis". From what Sam says he doubts that they will get anymore of them. Oh well....
