TBH i dont think its a case of taking it on the chin,i think they just want everyone to be happy,
They did the same with the T2 008,it was designed when the lipo came out,because not many racers had lipos and used NMH,the spur rubbed the battery bar away,Xray send everyone a set of off set bush`s for free to move the shaft so it didnt rub.
They listen!
