Emax

only about $200 more expensive and the revision f of the hxc is a 3.5" drive and are for delivery now

so £100 for the hxc revision f 3.5" 1 for 1 replacement

or £300 for the flexidrive

i think the hxc wins by a land slide and is £200 cheaper

  When I was investigating the HxC (which I think is clever but quite ugly) I found something called Flexidrive S4 - looks like a HxC but with a better build.
