Shipping prices went WAY up on the 1st... I have no proof that shipping is the cause for the price jump but it makes sense

One thing would be nice if motion offered any type of discount Promo/Code monthly like every other vendor I use. Motion is the only one who never has.
For example one pod cast I listen to offer discounts (weekly,)up to 50$ off sometimes more you just have to listen and catch the right time in the pod cast when they call out the code. Also publish monthly code like Tower/Horizon does. This is probably the best and most incentive to purchase from than any Rc vendor I know of and this is weekly. Also their prices are very competitive and not marked up.
I believe if motion offered anything slightly such as a small discount it would probably bring 20% more sales.

I think you mean 9.15%? I agree with the no coupons. When they started and heavily advertised the veteran owned status I asked about military discounts... no joy...
Anyway they do have great products and one has to decide if the price is reasonable or not.

Free shipping, great customer service, competitive pricing. What's not to like? Yeah, sometimes prices must be raised. I like a bargain, but it's a business, they've gotta make money to flourish. If another vendor routinely offers discount codes or coupons, they're making up the difference somewhere.

Any Vendor in a Rc Hobby to become rich you’re in the wrong industry. Now 99.1% Of the vendors/people in this RC hobby sell products to the awesome community is because they have a Great Passion for the hobby and most likely fly them selfs. Profit yes / mark up across the board no, The tariff increase was already applied that was months ago. Most people ruin their lives because of this RC industry in there sick disease and not being able to stop buying ****.
Did Fms / Dynam / E Flight ECT. Prices go up as well or only at Motion it did.
There are hundreds of Rc manufacturers just like hundreds of Rc Vendors. I believe in passing it forward but to be forced to Well I think I’ll think twice now.

Follow up on my rudders and steering chatter at neutral. Spoke to Motion RC a couple times now. We tried another BEC and different sequences of switch flipping during initialization to try and reset the board but it’s still chattering any time the gear switch is in the down position. I think I’m going to get a replacement blue box... They said don’t fly it like that even with the rudders and steering direct to my reciever. I’ll let you all know how it goes.

I spent part of the afternoon performing an autopsy on mine (sniff, sniff)...Removed all the "good parts for harvest". Trying to decide if I am going to sell them (I would sell As Is, all together, not separate items...) or keep for spare parts for my next one...
Servos, linkages, wheels, retracts, control board, wires, canopy, nose cone, odds and ends. Her "remains" sit unceremoniously in a plastic bag headed for the garbage man this week. Booo!My YouTube RC videos:

Good that you took the time to "harvest " all the goodies. I have several hulks laying around in the garage that I have been raiding from time to time but I really need to spend a few hours and strip them down so I can clear the limited space in the garage. Just haven't figured out a good system for storing the parts so I know what's what. I'm all ears if someone has a "system".:Thinking:BTW Todd, are you going to the Northwest Hobby Expo? I haven't decided yet. I miss the days when it was at Puyallip.

Anyone know if there is a way to eliminate the 5 second delay when commanding retracts to go up? Just trying to perfect my rotation portion of flight and find this built in delay annoying. I’m at the point of retracting the gear 1/2 way through my roll out to get what I’m after but feel this is going to bite me one of these days.
My radio (jeti) has sequencing options built in but I’ll have to bypass the MCB for retracts and doors. None of my other FW jets have this delay issue (F4/A10). I’m wondering if using a control board from another FW jet may be my best option?
