Not to be rude, but I don't know how many of the HPI loyalists will realize that they can get the same equipment for a lower price from a different source. I know that Traxxas has been putting out electric MTs for a while and I don't know if HPI really has. I know they have the firestorm and the savage, but thats all i can think of.

But your right, HPI will get some serious n00bz calling in saying that their system doesn't work. Ya de ya da...
