As far as my motors go, the ones that resembled richey's were produced in very small quantites and done for my friends. The ones that I have been selling do not resemble Richey's except for the button and jetting to the transfer ports. I have always strived to improve on the original. I was only here as an option to other hobbiest who couldn't get an RTU.

I never quoted you $330 for a Sirio, it was a Pixy Black due to my cost being $249.99 at that time. I stopped doing this motor because the price was too high. If my email stated the Sirio in the same price range as the Pixy, it definately was a mistake. By the way, I have been nothing but for the racer.

I am not one to speak personally about what I do with the things that I have received in my life, especially money. But, when someone makes a judgment upon my character, I owe it to myself to speak out. Since tuning I have not made one cent in personal profit. Making money for myself was not the goal. Now, in the beggining, I thought it was a good excuse to continue rc racing when my wife started to complain. I would just tell her that tuning motors would help pay for my broken parts. Well, I was wrong as tuning motors went to tooling and a christian organization called "World Visions"(www.worldvision.org).

In the beginning I never thought that using an RTU as a template for my own styled engine later on would cause so many problems. I continued to modify motors because Richey was ok with it. I never felt that I was doing anything wrong, if I did I would have stopped a long time ago. I hope for success to Richey and his RTU and to everyone who has helped the hobby grow. Merry Christmas and may GOD bless!
