SMD News ---Absima / Team C. WTF

[Muzzie]

Very sad day for Team C in the UK, are they stupid or what??

This is a BIG mistake, however the sales figures will speak for themselves, I know 5 people who were waiting for a TM4 but after this news they all said, me included "they won’t bother". There is massive support for SMD and lots of loyal customers. I think Absima needs a wake up call

wow what a shock to here the news that absima/team c will no longer be distributed by smd.
what are you thinking of, oh i know let smd do all the hard work of bring in and promoting a new and upcoming brand to the rc market place and then when it becomes popular kick the distributer in the teeth just before christmas what ass holes you are.
i bet there are alot of rc racers out they with itchy backs dont worry lads and lasses thats just the knife that team c has put there.
i here that muzzie, buy a tm4 now you must be joking

anyway had my rant the end

smd i hope the new year brings better luck

Its the guys at SMD that i feel sorry for, 7 days before christmas FFS!!!!, what shite timing. Totally agree that SMD and its good bunch of dedicated drivers have worked hard too make an unknown brand a household name, the TM2 has got too be the car of 2013 because it came from nothing and has achieved a remarkable reputation in such a short time. Also the TM4 was a development done by an SMD driver, how must he feel to have the rug pulled out from under him? Well heres to the future.................... and cant wait and see what delights Jamie bring to the table from the Nuremburg toyshow in January. Hope its a good one

Merry Christmas Absima, hope Santa sees that you have been very naughty and all of your dreams get shattered. LOL

No TM4 for me now , just watch the TM2 fly up on ebay. SMD was Team C in the UK and what ever Absima think its going to do to support the UK market forget it. They should have taken SMD on as development partners not treated them like crap. For me this is all about £££ and Absima being greedy - penny wise pound foolish . I've posted on the Team C forum please let your feeling known.

Nice one muzzy, could you put the link up on here so we can all show how disgusted we are over this and how SMD have been treated?

I have posted my disgust on oople else where but I was seriously debating dropping the brand but after having a talk with some friends I will carry on with the tm2 as I have 2 of them so spares are not a problem at the moment and tbh there is not much of a alternative that's as competitive as the tm2 IMHO and have put some seriously hard earned cash into the brand but that's down to john in which I had no regrets in doing so. It will grate on me to Be indirectly giving absima my money for any other spares I may need but the car is so good and I carnt really see what the alternative is.
