you know what - in this case I would PM Crystal_I, and find out the exact circumstances of the problems he was getting.

^^ to be totally honest, i'd rather spend a little more to support the small vendors who do so much for this forum, and have far superior customer service and reliability. Thanks TiC! Will be installing hopefully tomorrow afternoon. And thanks for the model airplane

I totally agree with you ! I'm dutch, so I'm always looking for where stuff is the cheapest...

( and end up buying it from the most trustworthy places )

3 cheers for TiC !!

TiC is usually one of the cheapest, once you realize that shipping is always included in the price. IMHO- that's how things should be.

Plus, he doesn't pull the $9.99 crap. If it's $10, why not just charge me $10? People are not THAT dump to think that $9.99 is a better deal than $10.

hey,
Been on the 300V for about 1 month and close to 1k miles. changed it at 13500miles. At first I felt that the shifting was a little rough. It took a good 500 miles to really start working well. Now as the nights are colder, the cold shifting is really improved! I've never had grinding at all, so that's a non issue.
Also have the PA90 in the rear. Nothing funny and it all works well. Big thumbs up
