Mojave Valley RC Adventures Support
I do not operate on the "quid pro quo" aspect of support for this website. I am not a "brand ambassador" for any company in this industry; I am 100% self-funded and working on projects which interest me.
At the start of this website, everything I have and use was purchased outright through traditional channels such as my local hobby store ( Friendly Hobbies, LV ), as well as from on-line vendors and directly from manufacturers such as Vanquish Products and Pro Line Racing.
In the future, if I receive something at a reduced rate or discount, it will be listed in the related article and a note explaining the circumstances. Why all the fuss you may wonder? Well, let's just say that not everything you read or watch on You Tube is on the up and up - and I'm sure this is not a surprise to most of you.
I believe that full disclosure is the only way to share information on products, especially if there is something here on this website that is currently for sale on the market.
That said, I have made new friends at various companies, and I value these relationships. My goal is to honor these relationships while remaining neutral in my reviews and product comments. I also don't do bad press; it usually ends up doing more harm to the industry than good, and mostly likely contains an element of personal bias.

SMC Racing V2 Graphine Lipo Battery.
SMC Racing
Starting in October 2020, SMC Racing has been generous in offering support with their line of Lipo batteries.
Being able to use the same battery type from one manufacturer has removed the variable of using different batteries from different manufacturers during testing.
We have selected the SMC V2 Extreme Graphine batteries for all testing moving forward. This is an excellent battery and provides outstanding power.

Unofficially,
I have been and continued to be helped by a small number of excellent people in this hobby. These are individuals who have far more experience that I do, and they freely share their knowledge via phone calls, texts, and emails. I greatly appreciate their help and value their time, and I sincerely thank you all for the support.
And a special thanks to Kyle. None of this would be possible without his support, friendship, and his insight to all things mechanical.
