So what's with UE?

Anyone who buyes anything UE for the maxx is making beds in a burning house. Luckely I dont own any of the UE stuff and now never will. It all belongs on flee bay. Ue emailed me saying they were just out of stock on the cvd's but we know better. The game has passed them by.

... i believe that´s true.

I don´t know what has happened. I started my rc hobby with unlimited products and own 3 supermaxxes. i cannot drive them as hard as i want in the furure because i will not get the spare parts i will need for rebuilding.

that makes me... a little bit angry.

letting the whole supermaxx story run out without any notification or explanation to the customers, the persons who made unlimited engineering alive for years.

that´s not the fine way!

i don´t like that. really not.

supermaxx parts were first class products and had a first class price - some words of explanation to alle the ue customers would be fair.

that´s my opinion.

marc.

p.s.: there are two options for me: put the supermaxxes on the shelf and don´t drive them anymore or rip them apart and sell the stuff on ebay. i never wanted to put my rc cars on the shelf and let them die in dust. i wanted to drive them and use them to have fun... so i think i will drive them the next summer until i will not have the needed spare parts for rebulding after a crash and then rip the cars apart and sell the parts.

what a unhappy ending!

I agree that UE should have notified their customers about this, however there is probably a lot less demand than when the maxx trucks were new. There are many newer vehicles that out sell the maxx now, the revo being one of them. Truggies have become much more popular to race, thus most of the maxxes sold are to regular guys who do not drive them that hard. Alot of the hardcore guys have moved on to other vehicles, both racing and bashing.

Yes, that´s right...

But to be honest - i own a brushless savage, too. I drive the savage one week, next week the supermaxx.

There _is_ not a single car i would like to compare to the supermaxx which is nearly as perfect concerning suspension and chassis!

the lightning chassis is perfect!

5 minutes and the complete gearbox can be exchanged!

try this with the savage!

the racers suspension can be adjusted just like a f1 car...

and so on.

the supermaxx dampers (yes, originaly ofna)

and to be honest: have you EVER, EVER seen an differential made as perfect as the supermaxx diffs?

there is not one single products i would mention which can be compared to the supermaxx products in terms of durability and quality. not one single product.

point.

marc.

p.s.: supermaxx servosaver: let me know of ONE SINGLE servo-saver which is as well made! one single saver... you will not find one.

Well if they are so good them you should not worry about replacements then!

HAHAHAHA
Just kidding!

I see your point, but nothing lasts forever. They must not be making money, or interests have shifted to something else. That is how it goes in this hobby, and life in general.

I wonder if UE will make some more parts now that TRAXXAS has released a new emaxx ?.

Yes... now i understand! You are so right... there´s no problem at all with breaking parts.

whenever i will go driving in the future i will read my last mail and tell myself:

Hmmmm, you see marc, your car is so BOMB PROOF nothing will happen to it! There is no fu*cking chance that you will brake a single part.

And voila - nothing will happen!

That´s the solution.

Sarcasm, eh!

You were raving about the quality so I had to throw that in. Has anyone tried to contact the guys at UE? Maybe get a straight answer from them about the future?
