Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

While the factory will move offshore it is likely they will still service the Australian market.

If there will be major changes to the smart drive I have no idea.

Hear they are going to Mexico. Guess that would mean that the Yanks will be able to source motors a lot more easily.
