I think those recommendations come from our Tech Support guys, based on their testing with the ERevo.

I can confirm from my experience that is the case, apparently there are quite a number of them kicking around the facility, or so I'm told

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 :)

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.
