wow, this forum has taken a bit of a negitave turn. i think that i speak for all the non xray staff and non team drivers when i say that we all love the car. if we didn't we would not have one.
as with all totaly new cars, there will be some bugs that need to be worked out, this goes back to the the begining of automotive history, and will continue long past the time that we are dust. it is true that most of us cannot drive on the level of the team drivers (or we would be one) and thus break a part now and then. i am the first to admit that i hit the walls way more often than i want.
the frustration comes when things beyond our control cause us to break parts (other drivers, radio glitches..etc.), and we are not able to get our new ride off the bench. we all know that parts take time to develop, make and ship. there is nothing we can do about that but wait.
as it turns out, my wife would rather drink sewer water than to have a conversation about the "problems" of my r/c hobby, so we, as a group turn to forums like these in order to let the words fall on understanding ears.
i feel that this forum is a great tool offered by x ray to talk about problems with assembly and set up, as the team drivers and mario himself are a great help, but agree that it is not the place for dialog with x ray about gripes with manufacturing.
personally, i would love to hear a "solution" to get my 2 t2's back on the track, even if it is with another company's part, but also agree that this is not the place for that.
let's face it, why would you go out and buy another company's parts to put on an xray. the answer is to keep the car on the track, not because that part is better. and on the track is where the car gets noticed, and that is what sells the cars in the long run.
