Why no love for,,...

The Schumacher rollers? They sure look sweet. Been trying to decide on a decked out Dingo or a Schumacher buggy to keep me busy and the awesome graphite, aluminum, bearings, and design on the British buggies makes it hard to wanna dump much dineros into a Dingo. Yeah, I'm one of those guys who likes EVERYTHING to be metal,,... And or Graphite.

The Kyosho high end buggies look nice too but all I see is plastic and more plastic with a few aluminum bits here and there to justify the prices.

No offense to Kyosho lovers, I know thewy have great stuff, just an example. I always see people pushing losi and getting lectured by Team Associated and Kyosho folks but never a peep about the Schumachers!!?!???

Thoughts?

Everything I have read about them shows a great platform.
I think the reason they aren't brought up as much is they are not as much of a "household " name like Losi.
Aftermarket tends to make more parts for the larger name companies.

That's kinda why I like them, I don't have to buy an RTR and toss 75% of it in a box. Even the better kits you buy always seem to make me feel like I need to buy a lot of parts right out of the box.

I want my own radio, my servo, my esc, my motor, and I want the car/truck to be as close to bullet proof as possible. Buying stuff twice makes me nuts.

I know Schumacher parts are hard to come buy, but if you plan ahead a little when you order stuff it works out. At least the "Extra Parts" have potential for getting used at some point.

on rc4wd.com they have all aluminum kits for like $500 if you can afford that, I cant but they are cool

Yeah, I have seen those, The Bruiser Classic & Ruptor look nice. Its just that I have never see one single video of an all metal truck from rc4wd that didn't drive and sound like a Russian tractor. I'm one of those weirdo's who needs to build the kits too. That's half the fun for me. I do like scale looks but im not one of those guys who builds microscopic beer cans and ropes.
