The sad thing is that I do too.Sometimes I fall asleep thinking of my RCs.
.....And sometimes wake in the middle of the night to work on them.

It depends on the part, plenty of people use ultra shocks and Traxxas electronics on their projects. Heck, I even threw some old Slash shocks on one of my Tamiya buggies.I have really just never been a fan of that Traxxas ecosystem. You can't use any of that stuff anywhere's else besides traxxas.
Most RTR electronics are mediocre, you're absolutely correct about that third point.Traxxas
Cars are pretty good. Electronics are not. And behind the scenes like the business as the whole isn't really good.
I just finished that project over the weekend. All my RC are using EC5 connectors. I even swapped out the ends on my two traxxas RC'sWhat I would do
Don't use Traxxas electronics.
And you'll never have an issue

Unpopular opinion but I like clips, it keeps the door open for aftermarket bodyshells.The only thing i like from Traxxas is the clipless body design. I'm not talking their system, I just like the idea.
I'm pretty sure that Castle does this with some of their ESCs too, I'm not a fan of it myself. Too much nickel and diming crap in this expensive hobby.Traxxas' VXL-3s is crap hard to program and doesn't even come with a fan but you need to buy it separately (25USD for realistically a 1$ fan with a plastic mount!!!)
I'm with you... Clips allow more options. Three of the six Arrmas that I am using are using aftermarket bodies. The latest trend, even from Arrma is toward clipless systems that force you toward buying only bodies they offer at a high cost. The Big Rock 6s is a fine example, I really like the body they offer but it's fragile and costs a crazy amount of money. It would be good to have other bodies available for variety and durability but with the proprietary latch system, it's very limiting.Unpopular opinion but I like clips, it keeps the door open for aftermarket bodyshells.

In the last year I got a copper head combo, a copperhead 10 esc, and a sidewinder combo. All 3 had fans bolted on. The older ones I dont think did until 3 or 4 years ago.Unpopular opinion but I like clips, it keeps the door open for aftermarket bodyshells.

I guess they weren't cool.I will say in my vxl days I broke alot of vxl fans.
Don't want to start a heated debate.I guess they weren't cool.
Just put a fan to it.Don't want to start a heated debate.
Because they can. I love my Traxxas, Arrma ,and Axial machines. Don't like em, don't buy em. Let's all trash the ones we don't like. That makes sense. .Hi there i have many traxxas cars and just wandering why do so many people hate traxxas
My very first "hobby grade" RC was a Rustler with a VW Bug shell on it, so from the very beginning custom bodyshells were a big deal to me.I'm with you... Clips allow more options.

I think. It's the ancient designs that haven't been modernised that I don't like.
