Yea it's kind of ironic. One of the early hurdles for online stores was that people didn't think they would be able to return items easily, so they went out of their way to have awesome return policies, where LHS's seem to be throwing away one of their main advantages over the online shops.
The problem is the successful online shops know how to operate a business at scale and focus on things like customer service, while the LHS operates their business like a hobby and relies on it's patrons to be loyal and to make sacrifices to stay open.
I'm not trying to bash the LHS's but really want to get the message out that they can't just sit back and let the racers take care of them, but must operate as a business focused on customer service to keep the doors open.
Anyway, sorry the rant, back to the B5M!

Amain will. from their site. They gave me a store credit once on a return. which was fine, because I was always making orders.

You're quoting their return policy on NEW items, why, I wasn't talking about new items?

As far as radios go, I use an M12 and have an MT4 for my 4x4 SC and as a spare. I've used them all. The KO Eurus is the most comfortable but I had the modules go and the rxs have a fragile crystal in them that is prone to breaking. The KIY was a novel idea. You can't go wrong with a 4PK s/r/x....whatever Futaba is on now. Futaba makes good stuff. The Spektrum is entry level....I'll leave it at that. I use to really hate the Airtronics radios. I especially hated the M11 so its quite a surprise that I absolutely love everything about the M12. Taking my new found fondness of Airtronics a step further I'll go out there and say that the MT4 is the best radio you can get for your money. Its like a baby m12 for half the cost. If I had a budget that's what I'd buy.
For the price you can't beat a Savox 1257 or 1258. I've had one of those Protek servos do weird things....it acted like an old JR servo when the centering pin in the servo case would break or wear, the servo would constantly try to find center....it looked like it was glitching whenever the car was still.
