we have been down the chinese road both for batts and esc's and motors and while some have been trouble free, some have been problems and theres just nothing like going for a drive to play with your toys and having to pack up and go home to your computer to start ordering new stuff and hoping it comes in time that you dont miss ANOTHER race day the following week...
we put a lot of miles on these things and wore 4 or 5 sets of foams completely off our MRS4's last year so reliability is important. With 1/12 scale smalll things like "feel" have gotta be important too as one little twitch can be bad ( and thats just the guy on the radio).

Hmmmm LRP.....Hmmmmm
i think possibly so
