The red/blue is supposed to be faster!

Exactly what I was thinking too lol

Update: Spoke with Horizon, then Amazon and in the end, really can't beat this outcome.
I have a free replacement on its way, and what really blew me away, was they didn't want the other one back. LOL

I am beyond happy about that outcome!

A free replacement for ARRMA Mojave RC Truck 4X4 4S BLX 1/8th Scale Desert Truck RTR (Battery and Charger Not Included) Blue/Red ARA4404T2 will be delivered

via FREE Prime Delivery.
Arriving Tuesday

No need to return.

On similar side note.
Same sort of thing happened with a RC body I had ordered from Nankin, they accidently shipped the wrong one ironically also arrived yesterday.
They too are shipping out the correct one and also didn't want the other one back.
That one I sort of understand, them not wanting to put the shipping cost into getting the wrong RC body back. Probably cost them more to ship it back then they pay to get another one.

That is great news, you can donate that truck to someone here that will use it.

What I didn't buy was more beer for camp.....oh wait...there's bourbon and ginger ale. I'm good. Carry on good people...carry on.

It's all for the back of my Slash.
Running rear shock on the front of my Slash and mounting them wide on the a-arms has had a positive effect. The heaviest GTR springs Traxxas made weren't heavy enough, now they're too stiff. I'm actually going down in spring rate. So I'm going to set up the rear of the truck the same way.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing, it's always good to hear about the companies that stand up and do the right thing.

It just hit me, you are a Rage Baiter with money, is that what this is? What can I brag about today and who can I piss off for these precious reactions? Amazon nor Horizon sends out free $500 trucks my guy c'mon man!
You got me, there's your fix for the day.

I was in hopes to just get them to exchange it for what I ordered, or possibly send me the correct body for it, if that was cheaper then shipping one back and another out.

I was really blown away by their resolution, about fell out of my chair when they said they were shipping a replacement, and no need to return anything.

I still wasn’t sure I heard the Amazon customer service lady right, but she sent it to me in writing and replacement shipment showed up in my Amazon account a few minutes later showing an eta of Tuesday. So seems to all be really happening.

It's early, and I'm confused... the T1 fits in a T3 stock?

Have you run your Mojave yet? I'm looking for a suitable spot...far away from anything and anyone I can hit. Going to 3s first as that's all I have right now. Orange/White body came in the mail today.

No , up until yesterday I thought I was possibly returning it / exchanging it, or something.
Since that’s all handled now, I probably will try it out this weekend.
I need to work on my track a bit first, had lots of rain early this week, and the track is needing a little TLC at the moment.

The brakes on my new bike are mechanical disc brake in which they are pretty much garbage.
In fact the front brakes were barely working this morning and the rear brake lever grinds like it's worn out
metal to metal feel.
Even after adjusting them a couple times they still suck so I bought hydraulic disc brakes for it
which are much better brakes.

Brakes are for sissies!

So they move the braking surface to a small diameter disc instead of the side of the wheel, and now ya gotta use automotive style brake calipers with dual pistons to stop a bicycle? I remember the front brakes on my 10-speed were strong enough to lock the front wheel and send me face first into the pavement. I miss the old days.
