We have 20% or 23% over 150 euros.

But I try to order from the UK more, since the pounds has dropped so much.

I order from hobbycity and the stuff usually arrives in 8 days. Used EMS once and the customs screwed up and held the package for 30 days and it arrived from HK in 3 days.

And how would I pay to Castle?
EDIT: Ah, they have a repair process page.

The puffed cap does worry me... Not sure how easy it is to get the cap swapped out, may require removing the brain board to get to it.
Well, it still works and I don't feel like changing it. Could the cap be the issue of being slower?

EDIT2: WTF, it still turns on, even though there is no switch wire. It didn't turn on yesterday. This stuff is really bulletproof.
