So, It's November 4th. How does one go about buying this system. I have a Byron F/18 waiting for a power system. There is nothing on their web site except the videos and a lot of talk. It's not in the product line. Not trying to be rude but it was supposed to be available in October. I realize there is a chosen few that have been waiting for their systems. I was told to wait a little longer before going with EJFs adaptor for the Scorpion/Byron setup so I waited. and no show yet. Flying season is just about over in Ny. I'm sorry but it's frustrating.
Jay.

When the next batch of motors arrives, we can put them on our website. We only received several dozen motors in the first batch and those went to people that have been emailing us daily to get them.

Understood, Then when will they be available to the average Joe? I'd rather use the Dynamax than the Byron fan. I have all winter to do this now but the lack of a system is killing me. Sounds like from the talk that the wait is gonna be worth it so I'll wait. Thanks for the reply.
Jay.

thats cool ... i have checked around a bit, by the time you buy a fan, motor , adapter kit, the xps system seems to be a better deal, ran and balanced, not unless you already got your own 120mm fan.

I have a Byron fan and the batteries and charger and ESC but I think I need to think this one through a bit more. $900.00+ for this system is a little steep but If I can just buy the motor and fan it may be worth it for me to upgrade to the XPS system. The EJF system comes out to about $900.00 with batteries and charger which are about $375.00 and that's for the conversion.

Where did you get your information? The XPS fan system is $439 not $900! The motor alone is $149 from either us at Littlescreamers' or from EJF. Your information is WAY off. That's part of why we did this project was to keep it affordable for most everyone.

Don't have a cow,
I was talking about a complete system. Fan,Motor, ESC, Batteries, Charger and in the case of the EJF Byron conversion the adapters. The batteries alone are over $300.00. Don't let your imagination run wild and read something into my post that I didn't say.
