IMHO Traxxas sells lots of stuff because they have a good marketing department. I mean look at all the crap they sponsor: monster trucks, motocross, Kawasaki team green, fullsize short course, etc. Magazines are full of thier ads, those magazines give them awards because they pay for lots of advertising, and now i hear you can buy Traxxas stuff at Pep Boys. Their marketing guy is truly a genius, but that does not mean they make a superior product. They make products that are flashy, traxxas name on motorsports vehicles, bikes etc so they appeal to kids. they are just like that other company we all know of that has marketing/ads out the wazoo, but how is that product?
