I hemmed and hawed about whther or not to buy at the cheapest price.I know very little about these engines so I rely on the guy that sold it to me to fix the engine with a guarateed warranty.money is always tight but having seen the earned reputation jody has with valleyview I did the right thing and bought my dle30 from him and I feel confident about it and thus far has been very accessible and responvie to my needs.Now I gather that tower hobbies is servicing what they sell butI am very happy I chose valleyview rc.especially knowing that the earlier versions had issues ..perhaps if I was smart and knew how to fix things maybe I'd chance it but I dont mind paying a little more and getting support and good service.
as for vh I bought some lipos and thus far they are proving to be fine.
