Default redcat whats going on?

i was reading some of the other post here and i noticed that a lot of the redcat family are very unhappy .Is this only about the spur gear or is there other issues that me and a lot of other folks don't know about? because i am still trying to decide between the advlanghe and the savage 4.6 .i know things come up ,but i don't want a lot of bull with the advalanghe if i go that way ,is the spur gear problem being taken care of by redcat?

I have a monsoon without any problems I think peep are over exagerating the redcat problems . I'll bet losi and others have problems too atleast redcat deals with the problems.And he come's in here and talks to us. And tells us whats going on. The radio recall to me was more than enough confirmation for me to order another redcat. I do agree with past posts about trying to find redcat dealers.We need a better list.
