Good point but its still not fair!

You buy 500,000 SCX's and I will buy two at a really really good price. That what friends are for right!!?

I will take a pair as well .

Yeah but either way the outdrives do not last as long as they should, cost as low as they should, etc etc.

There are a lot of good points brought up but if everyone knew what it cost Mercury to make the XR compared to what it cost you would, you would, well, be at a loss of words like I am.

I heard a ridiculous number from John and the Bravo Shop, and from a friends Dad who is pretty high up employee at Mercury. Not fair to spread numbers and rumours that I have not seen with my own eyes, but now coming from 2 reliable and Honest sources the cost numbers are so low its not even funny.

Use your imagination and believe whatever number you guess, then get really upset at Mercury!

Worst part is that the XR gears USED to hold up better when they were forged by a different company!

Imco is trying to make a Decent product at an affordable price

Arneson is making a great product at an overall good bang for the buck

X-Power is trying to make the best product but for a price that rivals Mercury Racing

Konrad makes an excellent upgrade to a TRS for almost a fair price

B-Max is making a great upper and decent lower for affordable price

But it would be NICE if all the prices were lower and the products even better!
