My Atlas I got from you guys was the worst RC experience I've ever had. Esc broke in a few days, drives haft twisted and broke. Connection issues. I know you guys are really good and loved by many. I probably got a bad one. I'm hoping to get the 1/24 crawler or MaX Smasher one day or whatever it's called now, so you do not get sued by Traxxas. 🤦

They've always been this way and always will. They've copied many other rc company's ideals on their early rc's. Then they turned around and sued for what other companies did. They even tried to sue HBO max since it was similar to the xmaxx name. Lmao I'm not sure how that ended in court. But they've sued many times over the dumbest of things. I really wished when they started out that some of the companies they copied parts from. Would've sued them to bankruptcy. Just a trashy company. I'll never buy new from them ever again. I've been that way since I first heard of them sueing armma way back when. From that moment on I've decided to never buy anything from Traxxas or any of the companies under their umbrella. Including rpm.

Traxxas is the "Games Workshop" in the rc community. If you don't know.... GW has went to great lengths to remove the use of any third party materials from all reaches of they're games. Including but not limited to, 3d printed models, terrain and even dice. A large part of any hobby is the freedom to express yourself and make it your own. When you remove that aspect, it is no longer a hobby, it becomes a task with mandatory processes.

I've been looking at adding a Traxxas crawler to my fleet and was inspired to do so by watching some of your videos as well as others. After hearing about the situation and their business practices, I've decided not to support their company and will look at giving my business to other companies. The upgrading and tinkering with aftermarket parts is one of the funnest aspects of the hobby. I enjoy your content and will continue to support your channel. Good luck, and keep up the good work!

My experience with Traxxas 22 years ago turned me off to the "hobby" since even then they treated me as though I wasn't worth their time unless I was spending thousands at a time. Just buying parts I was ignored and passed around by the sales reps. I quotationed hobby cause I felt Traxxas was never part of the hobby, just sales. They sell you toys. I returned to the hobby a few years ago starting with the scx24's. It was a tough choice... trx, scx, fms and so on. While Traxxas had a better hold on the market, their products seemed to focus on breaking parts so you would have to buy replacements or upgrades constantly. I'm very happy with my decision to go with Axial. I've had tons of fun creating rigs without the headache. Traxxas never again.

I haven’t seen your store but you clearly have the means to get all these aftermarket parts made for these brands. Why not just make your own brand of micro crawler? It doesn’t even have to be a rtr. It can be a slider where guys would have to add their own wheels or electronics.

I worked at a hobby shop for almost 10 years until recently and traxxas is by far the worst to work with. Not only are there trucks expensive but the margin that goes to the hobby shop is small compared to other brands, theyre crazy greedy. On top of that they prioritize online sales vs the small town hobby shops that keep them alive with parts support and customer support. Not to mention the amount of warranty parts i had to install or give customers.

The URL is for search engine optimisation so it needs to be accurate. I learnt about this whilst building a Shopify store. Traxxas are the complete opposite to Horizon. Horizon care about the hobby but Traxxas don't. You still have the TRX4M videos up on your KZbin. Good on you for keeping by your morals.

Well, I for one have never bought a Traxxas, and now never will. As an avid RC guy, I try only support companies that are open to after market sales. They need a wake up call from the customers that buy their products. They only exist because they have customers. Be wise with your spending $$$.

Traxxas should understand that KZbinrs are free advertising for their products. I don't make any money from my videos but I'm sure the tens of people who watch them might be interested in Traxxas from watching. Not to mention rc channels with a bunch of viewers.

So sick of businesses walking on consumers and other businesses. This month has been an eye opener. Recently picked up a merv vxl. I'll just drive it until it breaks. Then buy an Arrma. Really sucks because my local hobby shop is small and only sells Traxxas. They don't deserve to lose money over this. Hopefully they pick up other brands before they close shop.

Hey Tony, before you go to the extreme of pushing all your inventory off. Reach out to Traxxas and maybe give them the opportunity to hear you and respectively. And I get sometimes people react emotionally. Traxxas may have done wrong, or may have communication may have been lost. You may just need the opportunity from them to be heard. Traxxas does well with all tge hobby shops, and alot of hobby shops rely on that Traxxas product. I get we give them our money, but their product does hold off pretty good . Just build yourself up and progress stronger.

@@nickkokinos7133 yeah man, your probably right. I mean I race with a whole group of people that use a traxxas product. You know the parts aren't breaking and aren't leaving the track before the race is finished. I guess that must be a horrible product. I suppose they should be more like the axial smt10 line, as to where you have more time in fixing it then using it. Perhaps traxxas part of getting along with the aftermarket parts guy is bad.

it makes me sick to know that I have spent money to support a company that would piss on the aftermarket support for their product. I will definitely be removing all the branding from my 10th scale truck, and replacing the parts as they break with better from the aftermarket suppliers, and when it finally dies it gets forgotten completely, the aftertmarket support for the ***4m was finally getting interesting and mking me think seriously about getting one, now it will be SCX24 and UTB18.

I have been into the RC hobby for about 3 years and have accumulated around 60 Rc's. Well over $7,000.00 invested and because of Traxxas being like a sue happy millennial I have only had one of their products and that's all I will ever own. I had a Latraxx SST, axels were made of glass but overall ok. When compared to what I can get from Bezgar, Wltoys etc... the Latrax was a Joke for the same money. This is going way too far. If Chevy had never allowed Vic Edelbrock to build speed parts for the small block engine than Chevy would probably have gone outta business years ago. I truly hope this is the straw that breaks Traxxas back. They can and will be replaced.

Not really they are second or 3rd biggest manufacturer in the world(I dont remember who was first but it was tamiya or kyosho due to their prominence in asia, i think it was kyosho). All the brands under horizon combined are worth less than traxxas alone. So the brand is not going anywhere. What really hurts traxxas is the "apple" policy and designing their stuff to be compatible only with their stuff. I work and hobby store and the reason we cannot get batteries with traxxas plug is due to the fact they are super aggresive with their pattented plug and no manufacturer wants to get a lawsuit. Even horizon with their IC5 which is pattented made it compatible with popular ec5 to give us option to use off brand batteries. Another example to "apple plug" policy is traxxas led system. Its needlesly complicated and designed to be compatible only with their module and esc so you cannot swap the electronics if you want their lights. Recently customer paid me 100$ to hack the lights and make them run with regular esc. Funny thing LED for UDR run on 24V just to be stepped down on a resistor on led stripes only point i see in doing such design i can think of is to inconvinience anyone trying to mod the lights.

@@Ev0ltion It's ok to not understand the comparison to the automotive equal being chevy. Chevy would be dead if not for the aftermarket popularity of their small black V8. Traxxas just made a mistake that could take them from number 3 like GM. To out of the game without their products being supported by the aftermarket community. Thus making them less competitive and less popular among competitors.

My entire point was that atm these are singular cases with traxxas but if there is more prehaps it will do damage as having youtubers aginst them could seriously damage their sales. As they have heavy marketing based on the video.
