Very interesting info. Personally, Spektrum and Novak are two companies that I would hesitate to deal with. I never really see the inovation at Novak, for my uses of rc anyway. And I have seen nothing but problems with Spektrum products.
I have had the most success with futaba radio gear, never had an issue with their products. I also use jr (same case as spektrum) and airtronics radio systems, and have not had any issues with them either. I have always used 75mhz fm, crystal and synthesized.
robinson ring gears are smooth on the back, easy to tell if its traxxas or not, traxxas has little indents on the back, smooth=like butter indents=traxxas crap
