Well I'm new to all of this so i don't know who Erik is or how to contact him and me being an auto tech for 21 years on a professional level I've already taken it apart lol.... the lil bit of speed difference is fine with me it's the gears I'm concerned with and the v3 supposedly has better quality.... it only made a little bit of noise when it broke and that wasn't much to break those teeth in my opinion... I'm not knocking the brand or anything....I agree this is a one in a million chance judging by the design
