I've noticed the price on the electric Whiplash has increased from 899 to 999.99 at most of the retailers that are carrying it. Did the MSRP increase?

There was no increase from our end. We don't set the price that retailers can ask for the kit, so they are free to sell it for whatever they think they can get for it.

If you don't mind, where did you see it for more? Are you sure you weren't looking at the nitro, or Flybar version? They will be priced a little higher, as there are more parts.

Ron's was where I was going to purchase it, however they raised the price on all the Whiplash kits, including the nitro, and flybar versions. Helidirect is also showing the 999 price.

Hmm, not sure what's going on with Ron's, but heli direct, and heliproz I are $899

I dont believe ron's ever updated his price. I purchased mine from him and it was 899, but his site shows 999 still.

This is good to know - was wondering about this myself.

$100 can almost buy some blades,
