Title: bad experience with pleo, but hows the rb
Post by: kingdruid on January 14, 2013, 08:11:12 PM: I bought a used pleo a few years ago and it came with the snapped neck cable problem. I tried to fix it, but it was too much of a headache so I gave up and tossed it.

I noticed they came out with newer models like the rb. Do you guys know if they made any changes to they hardware design? I think the original problem with the neck was the cables used on the neck where not strong enough.

the rb's also have better paint, but take longer to age.
