Team Associated B84 classic... really?

$620 and they can't include wheels and tires?
Is Team A that good or a complete scam?
Reading comments on TA seems they've become a scam company. How can there be so many with $ keeping them in business?

Most "race kits" these days don't include wheels and tires so...
Some brands might include wheels but tires are completely on your own. They don't know your track surface and conditions.

When the B84D normal edition came out, my LHB sold me a B74.2D kit for $100 off! I absolutely love that rig! It is nimble and very durable. The B84 has an issue with the chassis snapping at the front. Maybe they should work on that issue before coming out with "classis" versiosn...

Exactly. And I've seen so many people with B7s bending the front of the chassis

The newer cars, especially the B84 the pivot is so short there's not enough chassis space to support the weight and load that's why so many people snap and bend chassis. AEs thinking this time, setup and performance over durability.

That’s pretty typical for race kits and not at all abnormal. Electronics and tire choice are heavily determined by track rules. Doesn’t make sense to include them with the kit when 99% of people are going to throw them out.

The price, while a bit high, isn’t at all abnormal to see on an high end kit.

I think the price of this as an RTR would be enough to scare most buyers away.

I had the truck version of that, Hobby Recreation has them for maybe $200 or so. It was okay but nothing to write home about.

Good to know....I will think about it slightly less now. It's still a great looking rig

I like the Trophy Rat take the most, its a good alternative to a 2wd Traxxas but it's just cheap in a few areas, like plastic transmission gears.
