Snoop I dont know what you are up in arms for [&o] So you got a bad motor (bleep)happens pal!!!!! STL gave you two offers to send a motor are a whole new chopper and you decided to go to the hobby store you made your choice so dont chew butt on STL. Here is a little story for ya. I bought a brand new 750 honda had the bike 2 days and it started running crappy. I checked the coils and one was bad. I took it off the bike took it back to the dealer and they handed me a new coil. Moral of the story is these are machines whether they are toy choppers or motorcycles. Bad parts get past quality control and make it to the buyer[:'(] I have not seen a better deal out there for buying a heli to start on and so you have to replace a motor once and a while no biggy. Good thing you dont own a real chopper if you are complaining about a 13 dollar part and I dont know of to many choppers out there big or small that dont use parts its a machine!!!!!! Well with that said I bought 2 today at 139 dollars. 1 for my son and 1 for me. and STL you are rite on with all you said.
