[NSRCA-discussion] Neu gearbox

[John Pavlick]

Larry,
 Wow, that's more than an OS160 (even the "budget" packs)! I have a
question: which is better - glow or electric? There, I think I beat you with
that one. You think your questions started something. Watch what happens
now... <LOL>

Hint: There will be all kinds of stuff about replacing bearings, worn out
servos, vibration that ruins airplanes (most guys buy new airplanes every
year anyway), LiPO fires, expensive chargers and generators, etc. Enjoy!
