LRP/AE should have taken that same stance.....this isn't a voluntary upgrade of a perfectly good product....the replacement board is to fix a BEC problem that could cause electrical failures....
I know this isn't quite the same thing....one is people's safety and lives, the other is an (expensive) toy...but come on...they know it's a design flaw....this upgrade isn't a perfomance upgrade, it's a design flaw fix. Both LRP and AE should have known that if they were going to offer it, EVERYONE was going to take them up on it....because everyone knows that this is an issue....and everyone knows that when they send in a unit for repair, it's a 6 month wait.....so seeing the 2 weeks to swap out a board, it is even more likely that EVERYONE and their cousins are going to be sending in their SXX ESCs....
Yes, they are doing the right thing and offering the free upgrade (recall), and for that I am grateful.
Just sayin....
ATLEAST someone else is grateful of this fix besides me. It makes me wonder how many people have units that are out of warranty and are still mad at the waiting game.
