what's up with the GorillaMaxx stuff?

I noticed this an wonder if anyone can find a hole in my logic...

If you go to the g4 info page and click replacements it pull up 5 parts you can buy. The main chassis plate, top brace, servo plate, post set, and hardware. Add up those prices? 166... So the kit is 219, but all of the parts in the kit are 166? So you pay 53 bucks for the straps, sticker sheet and the instructions? But wait, you can print the instructions straight off the G-maxx site. So the stickers and straps are 53 bucks? But you can buy the straps for 14 bucks, so the sticker sheet costs 39 bucks?

You cold also skip the hardware (I read the instructions and I have all of those sized screws laying around) and get the price down to 140...

I must be missing something here? Plus all of the parts are in stock...even though the kit is not.

That is interesting, I also noticed converting mine (G2R) to a CF chassis would cost about 140

that's exactly what i did. I ordered the set of parts about a week ago... My first G-4 took 3 days to get here, but after not seeing anything for a week, I emailed George yesterday and he emailed me back within a few hours saying the G-4 bottom plates were all that was being held up and those should be done this weekend....

I'm REALLY GLAD GORILLAMAXX IS STAYING AROUND. they've made the best running 3905 I've set up yet. even better than my FLM imo.
