My long wanted helicopter has arrived and I have started the build. I was lucky to get this nice piece of machine for only $495 on ebay, orginal price is $689. Quite a deal.

Six and a half month ago, me, my little brother and a buddy decided to buy us some real motors for our electric RC cars. We all have brushed motors and was determined to get brush less motors. We quicklyÂ to decided to buy Mamba Max systems. After some surfing the web, we found a decent and cheat place to buy our next fun from; Bishop Power Products.

Today, nearly 50 emails, some forum posts and allot of frustration I finally received my long lasting package.

It first of all started with Castle Creations could not deliver the motors. I’m realizing now that this is what old-bishops told me. The firmware-CD following in the package is sampled March 2008, which leads me to believe that it was all a scam.

I was very happy when I saw everything I order inside the box. Seems like everything was sorted out when Bishops changed owner.

Even tho this is my worst e-buying experience, the story got an happy ending (at least for me) and if Bishops has the best prices next time my wallet is thick, I will probably let them shrink it.

The only reason for why I still have some faith left is because of the owner change and I can’t really talk crap when the new owner sorted it all out.

I got my package from Datakjeden today. I put my order up on sunday so the handling and shipment has been great.

The disk looks pretty awesome, like glas and has the same elegance as an iPhone. Unfortunately the blue light is blinking when the disk is working. I wouldn’t mind if it was still during usage. Something other that bothers me is the noise, it produce some ugly noises, but was really expecting. Partition tables on is another chapter, you can view it on the image in my gallery below.

KINGSTON 8GB DataTraveler works awesome, it’s fast enough and work like it should despite it’s plastic-feel. All in all is the devices great for it’s prices and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy them again.
