EP8 from Aliexpress??

[Turtlehead]

Anyone bought an EP8 from there?
$657 new....
I'm assuming no one is knocking off the full motor, but I might be a sucker?

Did you ever try the Ali x motor ? Any luck ? Problems ?
Im in need of something and this is best price out there.

I don't know where Citrus Heights is, but guessing USA seeing as you specify a price in $, but Canada and Australia use dollars.
Do they deliver to your country?
Where is the motor coming from?
What about import taxes?

So I purchased 1 of the Aliexpress Ep8 motor's due to the out of stock and No Eta here in the US. It works, seems to run fine
But..... Here is an FYI... As of recent. Any Shitmano motor produced now has a chip for its specific country of origin and CANNOT BE CHANGED no matter how or who's connected.
Just confirmed this with a Shitmano tech directly connected to my EP8.
