i agree maltesechicken is right

as for onyx having to pay to have their logo milled off the motor why should they? they had an agreement with RE that it would be REs responsibility to remove it if they wanted the parts,

onyx has every right to make sure RE lives up to their agreed non disclosure agreement,

Fever, have u had any problems with your gear thats a result of said defective motor assemblies???

how many times do i have to say it, if the part hasnt caused a problem who cares? if the defective part caused a risk of fire, or fell apart, yea i would be pissed, but if it works 100% fine in the application who honestly cares?

if u are that pissed off about it and feel ripped off so much, ill buy your sub off u for 20$ cus u are makin it sound like u have a 20$ piece of gear u paid 1200 for, so fair market value, ill take it off your hands, 20$ and ill even pay shipping, u can go buy some xplode subs with non defective parts right??

What if that so called part is deemed defective before it was sold to Kia? Would you have a different reaction? </font>[/QUOTE]if the defect was that my header was bent 3degrees incorrectly, and wouldnt fit on a hyundia, but fit a kia perfect and was labeled as a defect by hyundia because of that no i wouldnt care,

if it were cracked pistons that kia knowingly used and refused to replace when they caused a problem id be mad, but theres been no complaints as to the performance of the RE models in question,

i don't think you know that did you poll all owners
how do you know it won't become a problem
most companys do up a nondisclsure for a reason
theres a problem they don't want people to know about
thats how major corporations deal with problems
they pay the plaitiffs to keep there mouth shut
keep alot of lawsuits off there *** and public embarassment

you guys are going WAYYYYYY off with the car analogies...This isnt a matter of a different company making motors for RE, or wether or not that company is a quality motor manufacturer....the point is that the MOTORS WERE ALREADY DEEMED DEFECTIVE!!!

ok.. I am very curious of this.. how many people on this thread who actually think that RE's performance has been decreased by this.. not many (if any).. so why do people keep bringing that up..

(Reply to Chris B incase somebody jumps in between)
^^ Not me.
I've posted just to give my 2 cents. I think a lot of people are blowing this out of proportion and the two posts I did were simply for the sake of giving perspective (hopefully).

By the way Chris, nice work on getting the longest running post [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img] It even beats the lame "lets make a story"

No it doesn't, that thread had 331 replies before it died [img]tongue.gif[/img] although this thread sure got the most people registered just to reply to it.

And BTW my two cents, this issue is starting to get stupid and annoying. Everybody is saying the same things over and over, and you're all getting nowhere.

By Onyx, but not by RE. So obviously RE had an application which allowed them to use a product that Onyx was incapable of using.
If RE bought them and they again failed to measure to spec for RE, do you think RE would have used them?
Thats why I think this is a non issue. If the motors had tested bad by RE's spec, RE wouldnt have used them either. Thus, "defective" is taken WAY out of context here.
