Traxxass thread deletion!

[LarrysDrifter]

I was banned instantly from that hole.

[Brushless55]

whoohoo! 10 infravtion points, and a B.S. excuse from a mod. He wont tell me why hobbyking is a potty word. I have a feeling I'll be banned soon

I hear that Hobbyking copied their traxxas connector and they tried to sue them?
and that's why they hate them

I was banned instantly from that hole.

Oh man

[Brushless55]

I'm going to throw this out there and see what happens...

I have noticed that a member here on OSE does some trash talking in these threads about traxxas but the same guy talks sweet about traxxas on the traxxas forums and talks like traxxas is soooo great and keeps giving them credit even though traxxas is treating so many sh itty!
kinda like what one would call a hypocrite
if that's the right word

Plastic toy = plastic junk x traxxas customer 4 times over proboat has my vote and having a ul1 for 2 days I won't say anything bad about them either but if someone wanted to but Trx I would steer them away from it an empire falls on 1 bad decision

I am not sure If you are speaking about me and my post of results after getting my boat back from traxxas.I was just posting my first day results with my boat on 6s lipo stock until my new parts are in.I am not going to leave stock electronic in it because I think they will fail and are not the right ones for this boat.I was just happy to run my boat that day and it not go up in smoke.I enjoy posting here and like everyone and appreciate all the help and suggestions you have given to me.Anyways my last couple posts there have been deleted so not all my talk about them is still there.

let us know how things go for you
what was deleted that you commented about?
thanks

[bdp1174]

a response to someone else's post about my high temps on the motor and questioned the reliability of the esc on 6s and that I was replacing the stock electronics.And poof it was gone.I have some other traxxas stuff Revo 3.3,Erevo brushless edition etc.and have also had a few bad esc's here and there so I know a thing or 2 about their quality control which is not so good.But I have to say if you have an issue they are usually very good about replacing whatever is damaged.Not that that is a good thing to happen but if it does atleast they support their products.I just hate thier snobby attitude about it all.

Anyways I will keep you posted on my build once my parts come in and will post my results and get some footage for you.Thanks again everyone.

[Alexgar]

Replacing a faulty product with the same one isn't gonna cut it gotta make improvements to stand behind your product and if you can't do it contract it like the bl edition esc from castle but that means rebranding a product that takes money out of there pocket how much would it have cost to put a t180 and Leo motor in there at wholesale cost me 160 them maybe 100 get it together Trx

I am a TRX fan but i have 2 say they have dropped the ball hard on the spartan. I was all excited to get it, then i played with it, now im over it. The best product i got from them was my slash 2wd its bulletproof. But ive had big problems with my slash 4x4 and even bigger problems with the spartan they need 2 remake this boat to do like its suppose to. period.

What issues are you having with the Slash 4x4?
those look kinda cool..

[ksm2001]

I just received a phone call today from a new guy starting out in FE boats here in our city asking me what I thought of the Traxxas Spartan. He seemed excited in that it looked cool and it would do 50+ mph and wanted my opinion on it. I told him I would do a bit of reading on OSE on this boat and get back to him since I didn't know much about this hull and was skeptical on the 50+ with that size of motor and esc. I also recommended for him to check this forum out as well since there are alot of good knowledgeable people here that will know this product.

Well, after reading some posts and looking at the specs on this boat I called him back and we talked for some time. I explained to him what I read and knowing a bit about FE boats tried giving him some options and choices on decent RTR rc boats. He was glad he called and wants to see Peter Z and myself run our boats before he picks a hull. So looking forward to helping out a new guy and hope to steer him in the right direction so he can enjoy the sport from the get go.

[Brushless55]

Very good Ken
we want these guys to stick around, not get bent on a fun hobby due to a lame RTR setup from a big company

[wilsta67]

traxxas.
my proboat geico has run more times than that peice of crap and alls thats broken on it is the 2 plastic props that it came with. traxxas should learn from the pros.

[Brushless55]

It's a mythical beast like the unicron and dragons.

[chummer]

I really don't understand why anybody would bother with the Txs forum if it's as bad as you report.

Why would you waste your time if you already know the outcome?

Most members know the rep. that this boat has already but continue to buy them.

Why????


If you don't like them, then don't freakin' buy one and complain about it!!!!

Bro this started long ago........................
many have bought this pos and have had issues and posted over at Traxxass and keep getting there comments and concerns deleted
no help from traxxass on the threads, that's why many have come over to OSE for good help from us all

you make is sound like some have knowingly bought this pos spending there hard earned cash to then complain about it all

lots of people bought into this traxxass hype to only be let down on this rtr

[roadrashracing]

who besides me have had good luck with it?

[Brushless55]

who besides me have had good luck with it?

your the only one I know who is running theirs stock
everyone else has had to replace the motor and esc and now driveline
but this thread really is about how traxxass has treated their customers over this boat

[roadrashracing]

I stay away from from that site, wait I might get an infraction for saying that. Or worst I might get sent to the penalty box.

Traxxas Warning System
A warning system has been implemented on the community to provide a way to penalize members who repeatedly ignore the community posting rules. Following is an explanation of the warnings. See the rules for more detail. The warnings are set up on a 25-point system. Once you reach 25 points you will lose your posting privileges. If you want to be taken seriously in the online community, it is in your best interest not to accumulate warnings.

• Penalty Box. This is where major abusers are sent for review. They are unable to post or further interact on the message board. A forum administrator will review their account and determine if they should be banned or issued a stern warning.
• Language Abuse (Major). This is for large amounts of foul or abusive language. Not bad enough to merit a visit to the Penalty Box but bad enough that if it happens again you could be banned. (Warning points: 13)
• Language Abuse (Minor). This is for using language that the filter blocks. Even mild profanity is unacceptable and will earn you 5 points. (Warning points: 5)
• Bypassing the Language Filter. If you have to insert spaces or symbols in a word because the language filter blocks it, you should not be using that word here. (Warning points: 5)
• Trolling. Trolling is purposely starting posts that will turn into flame wars. Get a taste for this activity and you will need to find another place to post. It is unwelcome here.(Warning points: 10)
• Personal Attacks. If you can’t say something nice or at least constructive, don’t say anything. Being belligerent and insulting to other members simply won’t be tolerated. (Warning points: 10)
• Traxxas Bashing. State your opinion or make your argument. Be respectful, stay calm, and post carefully. This is the Traxxas community and if it looks like you are just bashing us with misinformed opinions or rants, we will remove your post and apply 7 points to your profile. (Warning points: 7)
• Spamming. This is when you make the same post in multiple forums. Put things where they belong. (Warning points: 5)
• Private Message Abuse. This is spamming or harassing other members via PM. (Warning points: 5)
• Flaming. Just like it sounds. It is much like a personal attack but somewhat more general. This covers the attacks that are not directed at other members. Ford vs. Chevy is a guaranteed flame war. (Warning points: 5)
• Advertising. The only things you are allowed to sell on the Traxxas message board are your used Traxxas Products. Do not submit a thread to see if people might be interested in a product you are thinking about making. Do not try selling a product you make. Do not try to promote ANY commercial venture that you are involved in. We are not here to provide free advertising for your store or product. (Warning points: 5)
• Drug, Sex or Alcohol References. Pretty self-explanatory. See the rules for more detail. Stay away from beer references as well as sexual innuendos. (Warning points: 5)
• Selling Non-Traxxas Items. Sell your non-Traxxas stuff on E-Bay. If you try to sell or trade your paint ball gun, X-Box or non Traxxas R/C vehicle etc… here, your post will be deleted and you will receive 5 points to help you remember in the future. (Warning points: 5)
• Linking to Sites With Inappropriate Content. This is simple. We maintain a G-rating on our board. Sites that you link to should do the same. As a simple rule of thumb anything that you would not want your 7-year-old daughter, grandmother, minister, Mother Theresa etc… to see is not appropriate. (Warning points: 5)
• Dangerous or Harmful Posts. Making a post about lighting cars on fire, jumping your car over people, running into people, drinking fuel etc… is not showing a responsible side of the hobby. (Warning points: 5)
• Multiple Posting. This is a milder version of spamming. (Warning points: 2)
• Sig Length. Max sig length is three lines. Huge sigs will get deleted and you will receive a warning. (Warning points: 1)
• Typing in All Caps. TYPING IN ALL CAPS IS LIKE YELLING!!!! Nobody appreciates it so avoid it unless you mean to yell. Of course then you will probably be running into problems with some of the other rules! (Warning points: 1)
• Complaining about the Rules. The rules are there for a reason. If you do not like them it is probably because you have broken a few and have been warned. All we want is for you to follow the rules and have fun on the board. Complaining that your post was deleted or that you were warned will not improve your situation and will only serve to attract more unwanted attention. (Warning points: 1)

This is longer then bills in congress!

Sounds like Traxxas is a Communist online community no freedom of speech

Any forum board should not be assumed to have "freedom of speech".....someone owns each forum and they set the rules.
