Enjoy your Gen2 RX8
I had these ESCs listed on RCTech for months, $208 shipped (I was matching Stormer's price including shipping) for the NIB one and $140 shipped for the 4 hole case one - a price that would get you a fresh warranty with the three hole upgrade for less than the cost of new.

No one here wanted them.

I figured out starting bids to get the same I would have got from selling them on RCTech at those prices (after factoring in the eBay fees) and then added Buy-It-Nows.

The new one lasted 1/2 hour after it was listed. The used one less than a day. Buyers chose Buy-It-Now. They obviously valued them more highly than I did so I feel I was providing a service. They could have put in the starting bid and I would have been happy.

Really: $208 shipped for a new Gen1 and no one here wanted it? If I was a newb or had lousy feedback or something I could understand it. It seems that many buyers here aren't happy unless they feel they have taken advantage of the seller. The people here just wanted to whine about them being unavailable. I have absolutely no remorse.

I do fully expect to enjoy my new Gen2s, thank you.
