Seems like everything I have ordered recently is nothing even close to the quality of items that I was receiving maybe 6 months back. And the only options that have good word of mouth are just ridiculously over priced! I know it's an expensive hobby but it's getting hard to swallow anymore. I mean we're paying more for motors then we would pay for name brand tools using comparable if not the same motors for less?
Not too mention lipos! I replaced my actual car battery that came with a 5 year warranty. For half of what it would cost me to power my XMaxx. Dang near half of the cost of the R.C. itself. With a fraction of the lifespan If I'm lucky and it doesn't burst into flames or randomly just die for no reason. Just bought the Hobbywing Max 5 G2 just to have cogging so bad it's not even drivable. Only to hear that "maybe" if I purchase the PC programmer or Bluetooth link for another $65 or more it "may" solve my issue. Since that's the only way to update the $225 dollar piece of plastic that encases $20 dollars worth of electronics from RadioShack. Or if I purchased the sensored motor as well. It would likely solve it.... Yeah ok sure right after I get done burning all this annoying left over cash from my money tree.
It's been a hard bash this week!
