Castle 5th scale

[RRHobbydepot]

I need to ask the good people here a quick off topic question. Just really fast and not trying to deviate from the issue. As a shop owner I don't take personal check or MO. When purchasing from anyone I alsways pay via CC. If you were dealing with a company that, even after you pay via CC, offers a substantial discount for MO, continues to insist on MO, would you not be suspicious? One more request for a MO and I'm gonna cancel my order.

I appreciate the responses.

As a general rule, yes I would be suspicious.

If the margins are low and the goal is to realize as much profit as possible I can understand the reasoning for a MO. If the discount isn't more then ~2% then they are trying to shave a little extra out, if it isn't large volume the CC processing will most likely be a bit higher then that.

Back on topic: Found a phone today and placed order for the combo, can't wait to get my hands on it :)

This isn't Castle is it? I don't think we have any policy regarding MO vrs CC.

Ohhh just got an email from castle confriming shipment today via Express Mail! With any luck it may be here tomorrow in which case I will be sure to post a bunch of pics for you guys

No, I doubt any reputable RC company would act like that. Nubrain.com, they sell a variety of supplements. Worst customer service ever. I'd never yell at or try to intimidate a customer!

you've got PM ;)

+ a additional question but does the XL combo already come with some kind of connector for the batteries? if so wich kind of connector?
If not, wich kind of connector do you recommend to use or is this not so relevant?

Thx already

What size pinion is going to ship with the Baja conversion? I'm really wanting to get Mike's conversion kit and Castle's Esc/Motor combo, 8s, but unsure of what pinion to go with.

Thanks.

With some hopefully shipping yesterday does anyone have pics of the Mamba XL? Nothing like a few first hand shots to look at for those of us still waiting.

I went for 15t and am v happy. Castles kit comes with 14.

Here it is! Just got it this morning. Don't have time to put together my E-Baja today due to Holiday festivities, but I snapped some quick pictures on my cellphone for you guys.

Sorry for the bad quality, I'm in a rush and my cellphone doesn't take the best pictures. I'd take a picture next to a soda can but I didn't have anything, but it feels and looks almost as big as one. (very close in size I think)













Any questions, just let me know and I'll do the best I can to answer!

Edit: Man I am so excited to get this thing running in my Baja. This thing just looks and feels like an insane setup.
