2 at 6v? What are you setting up with this? It should be able to in most instances. For example an LSTS2 with dual steering servos.

Do you think that Tower Hobbies will drop their price from $220 to $199?

The white looks nice. But i noticed in a few pics that the rosin in the solder is leaving a yellow smoke stain on some peoples esc's. So make sure the maybe tape off your esc before soldering to keep it looking nice.

Thats for sure, I've notice that their prices are higher than everyone eles's now. :ha:

This is a bit off topic, but yeah. they sell the MT-4 radio for $20 more than Amain. sometimes Tower is cheaper on small parts, but overall all they seem a bit lost.

So what have they done to increase reliability??? I could care less about all the fluff. I want reliability. I have another one to send back for repair do they offer a upgrade on a old old rx8.
Thanks

Just a tip, towers does do price matching ;-)......... With that said I can't wait to get my hands on one of these with a HD pro4 motor for my tekno..........

Stanfsu 05-03-2013 09:59 AM

Did not know that. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, but then the coupons they have don't apply.

If you are using a promotional ad number with your order, we regret that we are unable to price match.

That's why you either do a price match or use your coupon........ I've had a few instances where another company was selling a few high price items much cheaper than if I used my coupon so I did a price match instead.
