Arct1k, I'll be brief as this is not a "Bash MA" thread, but I do believe that Castle is adding to the hobby, where MA has just the opposite effect. They overcharge For their product and my experience with their customer service was soo poor that it put me off to lipo/brushless RC entirely for a long time. It ws only after I was upset at looking at my electric's sitting on my work bench for months collecting dust that I decided to purchase some reasonably priced lipo's and get back into it. I've since purchased 2 Castle motors, a MMM, and I should be recieving my XL any day now.
Your decision to support MA may be fine for you (assuming you aren't paying shelf price for the MA packs) but it is in my opinion a bad thing to do to the RC hobby as a whole, especially those people who are willing to spend the cash to get into a new hobby without the awareness of bad companies like MA. In the end your benefitting by endorsing a product that rips off the small guy, that makes this hobby a business in the first place.
Please reconsider, I'm sure MA is not the only lipo company who will sell Castle discounted lipo's for testing.
If I could only draw what I see in my head, then afford to build it, and finaly get to play with it...
