In this thread on the Traxxas forums someone mentioned the new Granite 4x4 BLX and was saying its worse than the Stampede 4x4 because it has a plastic center drive shaft.
I responded with a reference to some youtube videos that show the Granite 4x4 BLX running 50MPH all stock and doing some crazy stuff with no breakage (something a Stampede 4x4 VXL could never dream of - and I own a Stampede 4x4 VXL).
My response also included a lot of information about how I think that Traxxas will upgrade the Stampede 4x4 and Slash 4x4 in the near future with the same things that are on the new Rustler 4x4 (I spent 5 minutes listing all the upgrades in detail, which is super relevant to the thread). less than an hour later "cooleocool" the "Traxxas Marshal" deleted the post that mentioned the Granite 4x4 BLX and my response which was mostly about Traxxas; his response was "Let's not discuss vehicles from other manufacturers please.", even though there is no mention of this in the forum's rules.
I think he deleted it because I mentioned that the Arrma Granite 4x4 BLX is capable of doing many things with its stock configuration that the Stampede 4x4 VXL cannot do (I listed non-biased facts such as the Stampede 4x4 VXL cannot run 3s with the stock drive shafts, a well known fact). I'm glad that these forums are not owned by Arrma or they might try to be insane dictators like Traxxas. I responded to the post with the message below which I bet will also be deleted:

Cooleocool I read the rules before posting to make sure I was not breaking any of them (where does it say do not discuss vehicles from other manufacturers?). The majority of what I wrote was directly related to the topic of this thread and was very informative. I do not appreciate you deleting my post that I spent 10 minutes writing. The censorship on these forums is appalling. I'm guessing this post will get deleted to.
