I order more stuff from RCMart than any other online store, and never had a problem with them.

Mostly good but communication if there is ANY problem is impossible... I had a problem with them and it took 5 days to get a response, and the response had NOTHING to do with my question... I gave up trying... I'm not saying that I would not order from them anymore because they do have a lot of harder to find parts... and 9 out of 10 orders are OK...

I order with RC MART a few days. 10 days and I expect the order. It should arrive in the coming days.
I will give my opinion on this net market later.

You know, John, that car would look MUCH better with a Red Dot motor in it!

now that the majority of my good silver cans are no longer legal
it's clearly time for me to upgrade to Red Dot power. And yes your correct, the F103 certainly will look much better sporting the Red Dot.... as will my Swift next year for TCS regionals 
Doc, what's your email for motor orders?
