I may have to call that guy, it is a real shame that there is not a more sure thing option of ordering those chinese motor kits statestide. I got a link sent to me from a fellow who had bought some smaller ones and it had basically the exact servos and drives and cables I would need for my retrofit and all three axes was around $1500.00 us plus shipping. The shipping and more importantly the lack of backing is what made me look elsewhere. The unfortunate reality tho is that ALL of these motors and drives are most likely made in China now so one is not all that different necessarily from another. I am still trying to sell some of my original drives and motors from my machine so I can afford the new ones. I am also selling my 20HP US made Rotary phase converter too as I intend to be able to run fully three phase. Peace
