Its too bad prices have gone up so much. But you know its still worth it.. I dont have to preach the quality of their motors, you all know! My oldest one will be 4 this winter, its seen 3 winters and this is the 4th summer, and it still rips as hard as the day I took it out of the box :) Mind you its not pretty anymore, and it could maybe use a new bearing soon, maybe.. Either way it has easily outlived my tekin and medussa motors, and gave more grins
