Gotta cut FLM a little slack- they responded to customer feedback and altered the design to make people happy, thats alot more than some companies do

And on this they are to be commended. But if they had done this the first time around it would have saved a long list of people problems they had not bargained for.

I understand its frustrating that the stock rx box wont fit, but its ugly anyway, and the FLM one was designed to be sleaker and more compact

Being ugly is just your opinion and you know what they say about opinions? As for the FLM receiver box, I found you mention of one on their web site or that one was needed with the 3905 chassis.
On the rest, you and jholthus seem to have lost sight of my original complaint. Jholthus said he built his from the ground up If he had the talent he could have done the same thing with a sheet of aluminum and called it anything he wanted to. But FLM calls theirs “E-Maxx 3905 Extended Chassis”. But it is not an E-Maxx chassis. It is a chassis that can be adapted for use with some E-Maxx parts. It should be marketed as such. Not everyone in this hobby has the skills, the tools or the inclination to do the modification necessary to upgrade to parts the “almost fit”. FLM and many other companies that produce aftermarket parts should indicate on their web site that the part is a “direct replacement” or that “some modification” will be required.
As I am sure you will readjust you argument to fit , this will be my last post on the matter.
Door closed.
P.S. This is an example of type of marketing I am referring to byTekno. This lets the buyer know what they are in for.
NOTE: The RX box is for the receiver only and is intended for people who already have somewhere else to mount the battery and fuel tank. The RX box also requires you have a single steering servo setup. This is not compatible with the stock battery box.
