well it looks like the donation will be going elsewhere and to me thats sad that i had to make a decision like that .
I was going to give every racer a free engine... but now you picked on me I'm not going to. What a pointless statement. Must make you feel like a big man with your self made millions and 25% share in an OEM.

If indeed the concern is coming from Novarossi,then I think they are better off focussing on development of their own products and keeping an eye on their genuine competitors instead of worrying about asian syndicates producing counterfeit parts <-- must be a foolish business person to think that profit can be made from a niche small volume product with average margins (?).

You are either very naive or just stupid. ASk the likes of companies like Toy Traders about equal pricing around the world. The manufacturers charge different prices to different wholesalers depending on the size of purchase no matter what they tell you... end of story.
THe stores in Hong Kong have a habit of sealing articles ... it keeps the customers fingers out of the product. Also, have you seen the pollution in HK recently .... dust gets into everything
It just doesn't look very professional going out and bad mouthing o/s suppliers .... it just makes you look very desperate to sell product. Simply get on with good pricing and you will get the sales

I dont mean to flame but if logic would stand , where is the time limit for a discovery ? If people have been following Bush believing he is for real in the fight against terror and not just trying to line his pockets with oil... what if it took 50 years for people to finally believe it ? Does that mean its a suspicious discovery because its a late one ?
Same thing here , its come to light now , thank god Angelo had the balls and honesty to tell you about it . this is the very reason this sort of information is never told to people because of the hysteria caused by presumptions..
Logically speaking whats to stop you from still buying cheap knock offs even if you dont believe in warranty? Nothing .. If thats what you want then you are free to do so . And if the motors you buy dont have a particular number stamped on it then maybe it is a knock off, and on the other hand if finally a wholesaler of a top brand motor comes out with wanting to help with a warranty why jump on him like hes some sort of criminal.. isnt this going backwards ?
I dont get it either and i dont like to get into debates on these forums because i dont understand how people can just rubbish someone with good intentions.
Come on guys why not give the guy a chance and wait and see what happens , then youll know for sure.

Brekky has a good point , we are slugged hard with taxes , especially since the GST . The Aust govt is fleecing us hard .
An importer pays GST and Duty on goods. When you sell it to a retailer they have to charge GST, when the retailer sells it to you they have to charge GST By the time you get it inot your hands its 30% more expensive that it should be . That 30% makes us not very competitive against OS traders.. Its unfortunate .. This is not just limited to RC by the way ..

I will tend to believe it when the Novarossi website says something about it.
Funny that no US based threads have even mentioned this??????
I will stick with the engine with great reliability and fantastic trackside support where I run.

come on massive, i don't know you but have heard of you and your great efforts to help, but with all the r/c around the world surelly someone would have let someone now there were cheap copies of a well known product hitting the streets, my god how do ppl get pics and articles about products that haven't been released, as for compareing the fight on terrorism to this is like chalk and cheese and there is more than oil to it, iv'e been down this road before, if a copy (and it can be anything)can do the same as an original at fraction of the price and do a better job if not equal is that not a good thing, have a look at after market parts same product done better and most time cheaper, i see that teamcobraracing has lined himself up with Himoto, which are the same as HSP which are copies of HPI with miner changes, there half the price of a HPI and do there job quite well for what they are and share parts, GOOD THING OR BAD THING

I spoke to Angelo at the worlds, and once before that. i don't know him personally but from what i know of himwhen talking to him at the worlds he seems like a good honest bloke. he's gone about all of this on RCtech the wrong way though in my opinion, and rubbed many loyal customers for another brand the wrong way....
i say forget this thread, wait until the products hit the stores, give him a good 4 or 5 months to cement his position within the hobby industry and then judge his business. if you want to judge him personally you'd have to speak to him to do that. judging someone over what they say in a forum is the wrong way to go about it.
i agree with what the Peno boys are saying though, Joe (JPM) is definately the watermark that a distributor of his size should judge themselves against, JPM definately knows how do do his thing!, and he does it very well.
good luck Angelo, with it, i hope you kick arse! (i'm more of a nova fan personally
)
RB, Sirio, and now Novarossi all have good distributors, LET THE ENGINE WARS BEGIN!
