Yes, I can see where it was my fault for not looking at the crimped connection inside the battery holder, but I can take a safe bet and say that "most" people do not. It could also be said that a quality control check for this part was not properly done by the manufacture.

too err is human....

When you pay almost $600 for an RC, one would expect it to be in perfect running condition and free of defects. ***** happens and I sure didnt think or expect CEN would replace the parts that broke because of this defect, but they did and that was worth mentioning here.
