In this video, I’m sharing my experience with several different companies within the RC community while doing marketing for my channel. This video in no way reflects how I feel about these individual companies and their products just my experience with the company they hire to do their marketing avantlink

Sorry to hear what you're going through with Traxxas, Amain, etc. I completely understand the frustration, as I'm currently dealing with a similar (albeit, different) matter. Although, in my case, it involved the owner of a small 1:28 scale company lying to another individual, which has led to me getting 'blacklisted' from something else. Even worse, this individual is being (semi-)friendly to me, as if I don't know he's the one who's manipulating things against me. Hopefully, in your case, things can be corrected...and, of not, looks like you've already found one 'new source', so I'm sure other new sources will soon follow. 👍🏼👍🏼

It is good that you found FMS. I just love their products. I have a bunch of the cars you showed. The Lemur is one of my favorites and the Atlas is my next car. FMS produces a lot of great airplanes as well. I have many of them also. They are a top notch company with top notch products, and it really shows that they care about their customers. It is too bad about your experience with Traxxas. There has been a lot of similar situations with other channels rescently. It is unfortunate that this company has lost touch with the people.

And I won’t mention any names because like I said, I watch them too, but several of them have told me that the big companies pay them to trash FMS because they’re so scared of the FMS products… makes you wonder huh lol

Sounds exactly how Traxxas behaves as a company. They really don’t care about the consumer, they only care about how many units they sell every quarter! Hell, they even sue and kill any small suppliers that attempt to sell parts for the rigs… it’s absolutely shameful! I’ve never been sponsored by Traxxas and to be honest, I don’t care as I refuse to buy their products. On the other hand, FMS is the easiest company to work with, McCree is a star! FMS found my channel a few months ago and has been sponsoring some of my videos. To be honest, I was already a big fan of FMS anyway. These days I only feature FMS products on my channel as it’s my go to brand of RC. Traxxas and Amain loss, FMS gain on you channel. Keep it up the good work!

As you stated , there are a lot of other companys who give great customer support and listen. I made many bad experiences with some companys (one is in the vid) and just did not buy any stuff from them anymore. So don´t bother and wish you all well and go on with your stuff.

I love RC cars way too much and honestly I hope in the future they fire that company and just start dealing with everything in-house again like they used to after all, the Hobby was a hell of a lot better when the manufacturers were just selling the products out of the trunk of their cars at races and events… I’ve been in the game long enough between RC cars and the off-road industry. I know that when you give someone else power of your company, your company will surely fail.

Good luck with your channel! FMS makes very nice scale trucks and usually at an affordable price. Traxxas are doing their business as usual, bullying smaller companies and selling their products way higher than what they are worth - I haven't bought any of their products in the last three years. If I want performance crawlers I'll buy an Element truck and if I want scale crawlers I'll buy an FMS.

For amain and Traxxas to continue using that company despite them doing a very poor job shows that they don’t care I’m sure they’re workarounds or they can contact the company themselves. I don’t know the whole thing just seems very strange. Or perhaps or perhaps I don’t care enough to dig into it like I said, I don’t know it’s just speculation, but keep pumping out that RC Contant bro.

I also came from an off-road channel that had over 300,000 subscribers. This channel was branched off of that to just focus on RC cars. And to be honest, the companies want their products on my channel and they’re not happy with the way the company they contracted is handling their business. When they did my application, they made a mistake and put the wrong channel on there and instead of correcting the issue, they just buried it.

@markcole6475 they never even reviewed my channel. When I got my determination letter, they had someone else’s channel listed, and when I asked them to correct it and review my channel, they became very vulgar with me, which I did not appreciate one bit, especially since they were in the wrong talked very bad about my channel which wasn’t even my channel. It was someone else’s lol when I sent the letters over to traxxas a main and all of the other companies affected. They were very upset with avantlink I got an apology letter from the CEO of every company almost involved and said they will be keeping an eye on my channel and as soon as I hit their quota, they will start sending me stuff personally and go around the company that is screwing everything up. They also said I’m not the only one this is happened to so apparently it happens quite often. And like I said in my video, those companies directed me to go there because they wanted their products on my channel. I don’t know how much truth is behind this, but I was also told that company is afraid I will give honest opinions about the product, so I guess the big channels are paid to give a good review and basically get a script sent to them were me on the other hand. I gave honest opinions if I don’t like a product, either won’t promote it, or will point out every flaw and I was told if that didn’t sit well with them

It’s all good. I wasn’t looking for any sympathy by any means, and I don’t have any hard feelings towards any of the brands involved. The only person I blame is the company they contracted to handle their distribution of promotional products. All companies affected told me the same thing pretty much Word for Word so I know it was completely out of their hands which is very unfortunate because I do have a great relationship with those companies. I still plan to do business with a main and traxxas just won’t be as much because obviously with so many different products on the market from everyone it’s very hard for the average person to afford everything or even a fraction. My mindset when I reach out to companies isn’t how much free stuff I can get it’s how much product can I present to the consumer a.k.a. you guys because I know I love watching reviews before I buy some thing and there’s a lot of things that’s just not out there for us to see how it works before we spend our money. In addition to that you’re right, there are lots of other companies out there and locally I was fortunate enough to find several companies that are able to make their own decisions with that stuff and locally they like what they see on my channel which is awesome and I’m very grateful for that. Sorry to wrap this up. I just wanted to bring light to the reason why some brands don’t get as much attention on my channel, not because I don’t like them but because I can’t afford them.

Then you have to buy almost 10 grand worth of tools just to get a ticket that you may or may not win it with.. don’t get me wrong. It’s super cool, but no one has that kind of money these days.

It’s all good I’m happy to have the opportunities I do have. Plus once my channel gets a little bigger horizon hobby said they’re looking forward to bringing me on board. I’m really hoping to find some aftermarket parts companies to promote.

Exactly what happened? To me it sounds like you asked them to give you product for free and they rejected you. Is that what you’re saying? You’re very upset because Traxxas won’t give you free stuff?

No, I have no hard feelings towards Traxxas or any of the other brands affected. Basically all the videos you see for the most part reviewing on boxing and testing, RC cars or cars that were sent to those curators for free by the companies to promote. At the current time, I don’t make any kind of income for any of the videos content or products that you see on my channel. Everything is done out of my pocket on my dime with my time, so to allow me to broaden my products that I can share with you guys it’s nice to have help from those companies. Basically we are their advertisement , so I’ve been doing marketing to try to get as many companies as I can on board because I would love to be able to promote and demonstrate tons of aftermarket parts being put on all the awesome rigs that these companies are building at the end of the day, I love being able to share my hobby with you guys

@WingnutsRC you are obviously a very big fan of Traxxas you love Traxxas you love Traxxas you love Traxxas you've been born bred and raised to love Traxxas so it is in your mind to love Traxxas that's why you stated it in your video so many times that you love Traxxas. Once you wake up from that dream, you will now be dealing in reality.

I hate these hobbywing systems. They are slow unless you use boost and turbo, then they will melt your battery terminals. Hobbywing sucks, I feel sorry for anybody who buys this crap.
