So apparently, their cross-marketing works, because I recognized the logo, when I wouldn't have before. I am now aware that they are a company that does something, but as far as I can tell, that "something" consists of nothing more than having a logo and putting it on things like stickers and Hornets. Does that make them a success in today's world? I can't tell anymore... It's a lot like "Salt Life" here in the southeast. I see these stupid stickers on cars all the time. They don't seem to do or make anything other than shirts, hats, and stickers. Somebody just arbitrarily decided to source a bunch of generic product and put their logos all over it. And amazingly, they must be making some money as the brand simply does not die. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

backtomyroots 432 Posted January 6, 2019 Is this available anywhere else other than Ebay ? I forgot about the release and have all the versions of the Hornet but this one ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S-PCS 568 Posted January 6, 2019 Something is up. This car has been mentioned by four different people in four different individual threads within four hours today, months after it appeared and after getting near zero attention before. Statistically, that must mean something. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've crunched the numbers and I have come to the conclusion... this it is still an epic waste of money and exploiting people who have far more money than sense! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With everything included in kit, I believe it’s only 20-30 bucks more than a standard hornet. The markup is definitely insane and no one who buys it at that price is going to/ be able to put it together. I think there’s a finite overlap between supreme followers/ the rc hobby. Especially since it’s a kit, and not RTR like most people who bought it, thought it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of us just want each version of the Hornet - particularly those of us who had the Hornet as their first r/c. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
