As Trey has stated, all will be revealed in good time. If it's coated - good. If it's not, then the manufacturers have obviously decided it wasn't neccessary (as opposed to just cutting costs). I can''t see them introducing a new motor with similar wear problems to the GX. That would just be suicidal in the current super competitive motor market, so it's all a bit of a storm in a tea cup really.
...yeah i always have bad luck when gambling aswell
.....i think, that because it is a clear coating that maybe mark got it confused...but im not pointing fingers at anybody...either way like you stated shane....if its coated, great
....if not, even better, cause that means the crank material has been mastered and does not need to be coated
....either way, its not gonna stop me from running the GXII this year....now i have to get another RC vehicle so my GX5R is not lonely when i get my GXII
