I thought I would just jump in here. I am a newbie to all this. I ordered the entire Extreme core assembly for $64.95 for my CX2 about a week ago. I ordered it from "bladecx2.com". When it comes to my door I will install, test and give you guys a report. I also ordered the Extreme fly bar. I ordered the Xtreme boom kit and skid from ushobby.com, the skid is great because I am using a Thunder power 1320 mah battery. It fits like a glove in the skids with a little velcro.

After reading alot of post on just what are the best grips and hop ups I came to the conclusion that it was worth it for me to try the Extreme core. Just looking at how it is designed and the fact that it is mostly plastic I think is better. It seems to me to be more of a personal issue that people are having with the seller of the Extreme core rather than the parts themselves. Anyway I will find out soon one way or another. I will keep everyone posted.
