OK, lets talk about the traxxas forum, since someone from Traxxas just started a thread bashing rcnt. There is no need to get nasty here; there is plenty to say about them that doesn't require foul language. Apparently the traxxas forum doesn't allow anyone to say 'hell', so you can't even post the word 'hellfire', as in hpi truck. Obviously that's their right, its their forum. But its also obviuosly a rule worthy of ridicule. So if you dont want to see ridicule, dont look around outside. Late night comedians routinely mock stupid laws and celebrities. What do you think would happen if Anna Nichol Smith's attorney went on Saturday night live to complain about her being teased?
I have my own gripes with Traxxas. I havent posted there in probably a year, after I got 2 warnings for 'advertizing'. In reality I was responding to direct questions people had about the difference between real RC Solutions roll cages and other brands that look like our patented cages. Apparently its ok for users to describe an XYZ cage as being the same thing as an RC Solutions cage, but its not ok for me to provide specific information describing how to tell the difference. The aftermarket helps make traxxas what it is, so why do so many company reps feel the same way I do about their forum? Go ahead, make all the rules you want, I dont care. People who want unedited, honest info, with sensible rules, come here to get it.
