★★★★★

"What an amazing product and tech support provider. He spent countless hours messaging back and forth with photos and videos on what to do next. Thinking this should take an hour or two, went into the night. He even wrote a program to figure out my motion sensor issues (dead). Walked me through countless things since I’m new to this wiring stuff. Told me what stuff (w/links) to buy on Amazon. FIVE STARS are just not enough for my review."

— Verified Buyer
★★★★★

"This seller is nothing sort of fantastic! He’s helpful, honest, and knows what he’s doing. He will go out of his way to get you going. If all sellers were like this one the world would be a better place! Definitely recommended to make your R2 a much more cool collectible!"

— Martin, Verified Buyer
