to the OP, why do you even care what RC's other people buy. it's really none of your business.
Well, thats a bit hard line. We all take and give advice, if everything about this hobby were "ones own business" we wouldnt need or have forums like this one. Of course its our own choice, but I for one welcome input from other hobbyists about what I spend my money on - and we all rely on each others collective experience.
