Today I have decided that I am totally and utterfly fed up with Traxxas and
will not buy any more of their sh.t.

I have just been to the LHS to pick up the E-maxx body I ordered 3 months
ago (3 months ffs!!!) and to my dismay, it didn't come with any
stickers/decals.  WTF?!?

This is *the* first body I have bought from a major manufacturer that hasn't
come with at least the basic head light/tail light stickers.  No they are an
extra $15AUS!!!!!

On top of that the body was 10 bucks more than the HPI versions so SCREW YOU
TRAXXAS, I've had enough.

Now, if I can work out how to 2 speed the E-zilla then I wont have any
traxxas crap. Atm I have an E-maxx (which I love dearly) and it will be the
lone Traxxas unit in the stable...

When I ran an E and T Maxx, I picked up four brand new different colored
E-Maxx prepaint Prografix bodies with decal sheets for like $45 shipped off
of eBay...

Ofcourse I ended up selling a couple (with the trucks) and gave a couple to
my buds because TRAXXAS stuff is cursed!
It's cursed I tell you!

Well heres the thing, I could have do the same, but being me, I allways seem
to want something different (and out of stock :)

I wanted a clear body so I can spray my own colour scheme and couldn't find
one when I was looking (knowing my luck, I bet there are heaps on ebay atm)

Atta boy!

Yeah no sh.t.  My bud just bought a Traxxas Disruptor body for his T-Maxx
and it didn't come with stickers either AND cost $29.99US!  The HPI bodies
are about the same price AND come with stickers!

Yep, exactly and like I said, last thing I ever buy from em (apart from
spares for the maxx, until I get an Ezilla :)

Plus the bodies from HPI for the Savage are sooooo much thicker than the
shitty traxxas ones so they last longer.

I never really understood why everybody shitcanned Traxxas so much until
recently, and now I totally and utterly agree!

One wonders why you didn't by the HPI body, considering it would have
fit perfectly.  You don't have any complaints besides their oddly
overpriced and under-accessorized stock bodies?

Wonder away, I wanted a stock E-Maxx body, thats why.

Yes I have other complaints, but that was the one that put me over the edge,
now I've had it and have had my rant, that ok?
