I don't think this has been posted.

They have got some really cool stuff on here.

I want the 5b

You know it's the copycat right? Their prices are a little high too.

But nowhere else can I find 32 pitch 5mm pinions above 27T.

I had some horrible experiences with them, from unauthorized charges to $40 shipping fees for a single ESC that was a warranty repair. Then Chris decided to cuss me out because he sent me a combo for my emaxx that was dead wrong and I questioned why my 5000xl lehner was getting so hot.

I never had done any business with them, I just thought some of their stuff was cool.

Yup, the only difference in the copies and the real thing is the shocks, we've had them side by side in the shop and everything else is identical.

They also have the real 5B converted to BL on there as well as the King Motors.

I've been beating on mine for a while and haven't had a problem, I also heard someone else say that the servo mount is different, I'll have to look into it.

IMO opinion its not whether or not the clone is as good as the original its the fact that buying the clone supports people who rip off companies products and other peoples hard work to just to make a quick buck. I know i would be pretty pissed of if someone took my work and coppied it and made a profit off it.
