Guys, looking for some input, would you like to see us stocking Castle Creations stuff, if so, which items, I'm thinking:

MMB25-CM2080 Mamba Brushless Comp X Pkg
MMB25-CM2068 Mamba Brushless Competition Pkg
MMB-25 Mamba 25 RC Car Control
PHX-LINK Phoenix USB Programming Kit

Let us know what the best price is you've seen on these and we'll do what we can to match it. :cool: :)

I would LOVE to see that kind of stuff on this site. Below are the towerhobbies prices, they seem to be ok most of the time. Match/beat this and I will order from here for sure.

MMB25-CM2080 Mamba Brushless Comp X Pkg - 134.99
MMB25-CM2068 Mamba Brushless Competition Pkg - 118.99
MMB-25 Mamba 25 RC Car Control - 74.99
PHX-LINK Phoenix USB Programming Kit - 21.99

Their shipping is usually fast and reasonably priced.
All prices USD

Since the "shops" are combining, it probably wouldn't be a bad idea, especially if Your Micro is combined.

I'm assuming that you are also planning to stock the Mamba-25 separately since some are running the AON motors and since One18th is taking pre-orders for the Tekin Scorpion. Anyone know if Tekin is actually using a Castle speed control or if they are actually coming out with their own? I also know of an AON size brushless motor in the works, but it will a little while yet.

AlleRC usually has low prices and another company started matching them--dang, if I can think of the url right now (Arizona?) and since, my PC crashed the other night, I've lost 100's of links and probably 1000's of photos since I hadn't backed up the main hard drive in a while. Lots of RC and Cat photos down the drain. :(

Tower is good when you can catch a sale, use a coupon, and the item is in stock. Myself, I also get stuck with tax when ordering through Tower.

Cool, we should be able to match them - what do you guys think RE Comp vs. Comp X?

The CM2080 package is cheaper at AllERC: $129.95. Sometimes it's even lower and they used to provide another $5.00 off for first time customers.

The "track" people will probably want the slower motor.
The "speed demons" (or people thinking like me the faster motor).
And some of the members, will probably want a different brand all together.

Yep, we'll be moving YM over too, and yes, we'll be stocking the Mamba 25 separately. We're also planning on stocking the AON motors. :cool:

JonteJsson,

Those two vendors always appear to be in a price war and one may be cheaper than the other depending on the day of the week. Then there is the price matching and the first-time customer discounts... As long as it helps "us" as the consumer. :D
