I think you know where I stand...If a company does NOT believe enough in the product they are selling by NOT offering or honouring a warranty, I will take my money to a company that will, even if that means that I buy a different brand item than what I was intending to buy in the first place.
As far as I can see at the moment, If the Avenger really is a truly well built motor and a Phantom killer as they are hyping it up to be, then we should say to any and all vendors to PROVE IT...Have a 6 month warranty and honour that warranty with zero hassle to the customer like bicycle-engines.com has been doing all along.
No warranty, no customer, simple as that with me...It is a deal killer not to stand behind the product as far as I am concerned...It is the only way to send a message to vendors in our little hobby/sport and hopefully save folks from buying shoddy products...If their is no warranty, it must be a shoddy product, if it was any good at all, the vendors would stand behind their product 100% wouldn't they ???
