    lubrication?

    Where is the proper place to lubricate the motor bearings? On the underside of the motor? I'm assuming all I have to do is unscrew the 4 screws holding each motor on and inject some brushless motor oil onto the central shaft correct? Thanks for any help.

    Is hobbyking legitimate?

    Yes. I've ordered many things from there and never had a problem, I think if you are in the US they ship from a factory in the US, and I've received my items very quickly.

    3.12 Software update (Problem)

    I wish they would just give us an option in the software to enable throttle up from 0% or throttle up from 50%. That way they could make everyone happy.
