$10 Free to Spend at the Shop!
Starting November 1st, we're giving away a $10 Gift Certificate each month to the best Product Review posted to http://shop.tinyrc.com. So that we know who posted what, please post a link in this thread in order to be considered. By "best" we don't mean that it lavishes the product with the most praise, but rather that it is the most informative and is well written, with bonus points for things like details of threads and galleries on MZR that contain further information relevant to the item. Let us know if you have any questions - thanks!

How do you write a review? I can't see a review button on the page anywhere? Sorry.
EDIT: I wasn't logged in. Oops. It is available when logged in.

Great new feature, I hadn't noticed we could do this with the new shop. One thing to note, though...it seems there is a word/character count limit on the reviews, but there is no mention of it where you enter your review (and no way to edit a review you have posted). Thus, my first try was cut a little short:
http://shop.tinyrc.com/product.php?productid=16986
It was supposed to read:
Typical meticulous attention to detail associated with Kyosho Autoscales. This is an absolutely beautiful body. I would not, however, recommend it as a regular racer, as the shape of the Ford GT exposes the tires/wheels quite a bit, which are then prone to impacts during a race. This is likely only a good race body for those who are comfortable that they will rarely come into contact with walls or other racers.
If this is not on purpose, it might be worth noting that most databases use 255 as the default limit for varchar (text fields), and anything above that limit is automatically removed/lost when it is stored (it seems to have been cut off at ~252 characters).
Edit: looking back at some of HammerZ's posts, it seems several of his were cut off at 255 characters as well.

I just got cut off at 194 words. I did it in word. I had just a few words left in the sentence.... huge disapointment.... how can we review the products we have if we don't even know how much we can say??
EDIT:
Another cut off at 201.
