You hit it on the head Gary with the Heng long comparison. I personally have only had one issue with a RX that would go in and out of bind mode during operation. No good if your 300 feet up in a plane or heli, wasn't concerned about replacing the model, more concerned about the sucker taking someone out. Took RX apart and found some shotty soldering. No biggie if on the ground though. Sure it was a 1 in a whatever anomalie, just left me a little more cautious on off brands. Same with the $10 orange box RX's from hobby king. Yea, lemons are eveywhere when looking for the best price or if your getting into something new and unresearched. I'm on my second set of gearboxes, a new servo, and a new hydro tank on my "entry level excavator." Price you pay for coming in on the ground level.
