Lack of RC-M support?

[Overdriven]

Typical conversations where other retailers were mentioned used to go something like this:

member1: what's a good battery for setup x?
Member2: a battery with specs of y. Rcm has these availible which are some of the best out there. There are cheaper options availible....

The typical response now is:
member2: (insert link to other retailer)

That's what I find kind of disturbing, the lack of rcm being mentioned first (or at all in some instances). It's disrespectful in a way. And the point of this thread was to point this out as I've noticed an increase in it. Reviews and experiences with other products, retailers and even pointing others to them was not the issue. I guess I just worry that the new(er) person asking the question may never know about the other products Mike offers and Mike losing out on sales because of it. I know the reason I knew about and bought my lipos from Mike was from answers to questions like the one above.

Yeah, I have seen this alot as well. Just a couple weeks ago I did it myself by linking HP G3 45C lipo's, not that I wanted people to buy there, but that is the only website that posts them at the time (aircraftworld = HP), it was not a link to the product saying 'buy this from here'... and I am sure that Mike will get them in soon, and that is where I would buy them from.

What is HC stand for though? Do you mean HK (hobbyking?).

For my support I just bought a Tekin rx8 and a front motor cover for Neu last week. I live in SK, Canada... not a stones throw away.

It really is disrespectful to always link a website that has a product for oh, a couple bucks cheaper (who cares?)... Mike provides a MAJOR service by having this forum, frankly, one of the best on the net, and people are stabbing him in the back by telling others to buy elsewhere.
