I certainly do not place myself on the same level as the newbs at the Trx forums, but I do consider myself more of a normal/typical hobbyist. The people that tinker and mod and complain about failed results (and also about a voided warranty as a result) are children (or act like such). A mature adult would decide if a mod was justified and accept the risks.

And no, I do not have any spare ESCs, motors, etc. The only spare electronic components I have are stock radios I remove from RTRs in favor of a Spek rx. Over the last 3-4 years I've been into this hobby, I have only blown one motor, and that was due to using a too-loose CD in my Revo.

I guess I just had a problem with your apparent lack of empathy for those who do not (or can not) purchase several spares "just in case". I know where you're coming from, but that is a elitist attitude and is not conducive to encouraging new people into the hobby. But that's just my opinion.
