Vic,
10 days from the time I placed the order. I'd bet that my box and Dave's were on the same ship. They probably hold stuff until they have a big shipment to send over.

Jer,
That stinks! They could have told you but at least it only $3.

Jeff,
I always seem to break the control lever but you can't just get that... you have to buy it with the slider as well.

It's pretty much built. I'm not going to put any gear in it because this is my back-up but I got it ready for electrics. A couple of misses that I found.

CONS

First~ The main gear is warped and rubs on the frame. I'm sure a little heat and twisting could get it closer but I'm not going to worry about that. It's not rubbing terribly. It seems to be round but you really don't know until you put a pinion against it.
Second~ The mount for the battery tray is plastic instead of metal like the SA's. Not a big thing... just different.
Third~ Some of the screws which are the same have a different allen head size. Typical cheaper hardware. Again, not a big deal.
Fourth~ Like I said before the blades are crap.

PROS

First~ expense... can you beat it?
Second~ The tail box is slightly different and the slider control seems to be beefier. The weak control arm is the same though.
Third~ Again the expense, LOL I can't believe how much I paid for my SA

Vic,
Did you find any problems like the main gear on the EXI?
