AE having beef with HH

[9x19]

I ordered my Hoonicorn APEX 2 kit direct from AE (free shipping, no tax), but I just placed an order from Tower for some spare parts (suspension arms, drive cups, wheels/tires) due to their insane Associated sale prices (and a $10 loyalty discount). I also added a Hoonitruck body set and a set of CVAs for the MT10.

I figure I'm helping Associated to clear out H/T's inventory.

I usually go with wherever is easiest or cheapest within reason. I do shop Horizon too. But as long as AE has their own website I'm good.

AE need to stop re-re-re-re releasing RC10's then maybe people would give a damn, we want something new..!!
As for HH don't start me on them..

They are likely trying to Drive AE's value down so they can buy them up and ruin the company like they have every other company they snatched up.

Let’s hope not. Associated needs to stay away from horizon hobby.

AE has a clearance sale on ebay all the time. Scratch and dent stuff...

But sometimes their web site is cheaper.
The Apex 2 Hoon was cheaper direct with no tax and free shipping.
On their eBay page, both were added on.

Speaking of AE's beef with Horizon, Tower Hobbies has a pretty good sale on all Associated/Element stuff until tomorrow. I picked up a couple more Wolfpack shorty battery packs for my crawlers.

No Ultron body? Seemed like a good buy.

Lol!!! Sometimes I'll catch a scratch and dent, all sales final deal for like $8 off a $400 kit on a site and I gotta wonder... is $8 worth it?
I'd like to think that if the esc blows up in my new buggy, I'd have it replaced for free. Even if that option cost $8.

I was tempted to pick up another comp fox.

The AE scratch and dent stuff has MUCH bigger discounts than that. Typically, even if you got a dud ESC and motor, its still a good deal.

huh, anyone know if these will fit in a Tamiya chassis molded to fit a nimh "shotgun tube" stick pack? i could use a new pack for my M chassis.

I believe those are designed to be replacements for nimh packs. So it should fit.

AE direct discounts might be. I think it was Amain that had those tiny discounts.

I wouldn't be upset if I was saving a substantial amount and then I had to replace a major item, I agree.

AE's ebay S&D stuff is where it's at. Really good deals there sometimes.

Save up to 120 bucks on AE kits!!!

Tower seems to require the $10 for a year of premium membership to get their good scratch and dent discounts. They have scratch and dent (they specifically claim to be box only) sale of the 1/10 Arrma Vorteks 223s for $250 right now. $260 if you count the membership cost, but that's still $110 cheaper than non-damaged boxes. Crazy discount.
I've been eying one for a while, so I grabbed that last night along with some discounted Team Associated shock oil for $2 (sorry, TA!).
