They dont appear in eBay that much for spares, usually modified ones or mint & boxed ones.

yeah others are way too big,

just think minilites are a little bit tooo small

see what happens with the rfx revos as would love these if a touch bigger than the minilites

any pics of yours for inspiration please ?
