Scam alert. After posting a few of actual reviews on RCGroups.com, I was met with this message:
Critical of a paying sponsor, your post has been edited.
I know, who cares that RCGroups is just another commercial internet scam; hardly a great revelation. Just realize that any information you read on RCGroups.com has been content filtered to help their paying sponsors rip off the general public. Of course, some of their sponsors make good products, but if that were always the case their moderators wouldn't need to edit-away what their user base really thinks. The site is loaded with intentionally-inaccurate information, as long as it is favorable to their paying sponsors and/or unfavorable to their sponsors' perceived competition.
