Way to do your research Jon. I hope you don't start confusing Smartech with Traxxas. :lick:

well anyways, i got one free, JP1. Came along with a free engine, set of tires to test out, a temp gun, and then the company's CA Glue, and some other company's starter box.
The tires are from Performance Devices, supposed to be Crime Fighter style. can't wait to test those out. So yeah, I've got quite a bit to make an article about and send it back to the companies. Was curious as to which pipe was the longer of the two. Its supposed to go with my engine review.

Someone thinks he's a comedian. Take Xtreme R/C Cars's august 2006 issue and flip to page 200 and read my article. My sources are strong. Its the one about the "TMI"

OK so I have been published in XRC as well as others here on this forum. That doesn't make us authorities on any given subject by any means.
You have come here to this site and have tried to play BMOC with TMI. Honestly, your opinions are like any other, just that. You have made a huge amount of leading statements that are full of holes and again nothing more then opinions.
I'm happy for you that you got your letter to the editor on the mailbag page. But like 99% of your posts its exaggerated out of proportion. You call it an "Article" when its nothing more then a published letter you wrote correcting an error. You also seem to believe, or are trying to make us believe that you are righting reviews for the magazine. I wish you luck in getting them published.
We dont give a poop about what you think of yourself. There are many users here that have 100 X your knowledge and humbly share it with others without trying to give the impression of being a know-it-all. One thing we have learned over the years is guys like you that come off big are just looking for attention and more times then not dont know poop.
I think your going to not like it here if you dont come down to earth and get over yourself real quick. If you dont, I'm sure the members here will be glad to knock you off your high horse.

All this you see in this picture, free except for the car.
2 SH exhaust systems, carbon fiber, STS D21T engine, STS .12 engine, the starter box, the performance devices temp gun AND tires (only one shown in pic).
I get to write up what I think of the products, and send back what I thought to the companies.
The temp gun review is already up at RCU.

Me too.
All you see in this pic free.
See, anybody can do it.
You may not feel you need to proove your boasts. However, at this point around here, you may want to back-up your claims. Otherwise you are just another hack with bullshit claims than nobody believes and you may want to be on your way.

I guess the meaning of the word review doesn't mean much nowadays.
Question:
If you are 19 years old, how is it you have been building cars for 16 years? The driving for 13 years maybe, my 6 year old plowed my rc into the fence a few times so I guess that is considered driving. But building an RC at age 3 is a little far fetched don't you think there Kemo.

I think you misread it says building: 13 years, driving 16 years. My first rc was a kyosho I got from my grandpa when I was 3. That was already assembled. I have no clue what it was, but it was kick ass none the less, had a corvette body on it that he painted for me and the whole 9 yards.
He's the one I can thank for getting me into the hobby. We raced the Kyosho Raider in the early 90s lol.

Its Sunday, Race day.....
Why are you not out doing your sponsors some good?
Posting here the way you do is nothing but negative publicity for them.
Go burn some nitro in the backyard, call it a race and tell us all about it. Write a review on your days events and have it published. How are you supposed to review stuff if its sitting in your living room in the box? Need to use it first.
Go burn some nitro, pull your head out and come back as someone we would like to hang with.

I give pony rides, free of charge. No questions asked. Bring your own butter.
watch out if you got that stuff from performance devices...I got a bunch of stuff free from them last year too and I tried to help em out and get some local shops to sell the product (which BTW isn't a bad deal for some decent wheels)...no local shops would even consider it, even after I rocked a few of their drivers using the "K-mart special wheels"....and then the e-mails asking about how I'm getting shops to oredr started coming....if the stores aren't doing well then they aren't going to risk buying more product from a new company w/ lil to no track record of winning......
don't gas yourself up too much on getting free product from a starting company....they are trying to "buy" anyone who will stop and listen......I know about sponsors and how they work in a lot of alternative sports...trust me they don't consider to be free....you are going to be asked to do things in return for them......all that being said good luck w/ the review but keep personal opinions from jading truths.....if you cannot show hard proof (ie published articles endorsed by or quoting manufacturers) then you're best leaving that statement out.....intelligent people read these threads here and will pick every lil discrepency out......I'm not calling you out on the product because I know how eager performance devices is to find remote associates to help them...but remember you're a small fish in a big pond and just because you type it on the internet doesn't mean it's automatically a fact......
now let's see the review man.....I'm curious to see what others think of those wheels too.....

They dont race anymore after labor day weekend. Season is pretty much over. The only track that does weekly races AFTER labor day weekend is Duluth, and thats a 3 hour drive for me.
I have, however, been given permission to redo a track about 13 minutes from me. offroad racing has been dying out here because of the new residents moving in and complaining about the annoyance.
I still have no clue why PD picked me to do test their products. But other members said its because they like my "history" in the hobby.
How did the tires handle for you? They seem to be a hard tire with a softer durometer. Should be interesting to see how they hold up to my other tires.
Their timing on sending out the products is on the bad side, the season is over and tracks are closed, except for duluth.
