It showed 2 in stock but I called to make sure and they said they had one left so I bought it instantly after the call. Since I know their website isn’t updated after purchases are made like Amain which is where I have bought 99% of my stuff until now.

Would have been nice if they emailed that’s info to people that preordered them.

My experience is you want that second shipment over the first. If there was an issue with the initial batch the second will be better. There isn’t always a big delay either from first to second shipment.

I am waiting for reviews before I do anything. There isn’t anything my m12s doesn’t do now that I think I need. Don’t get me wrong if I needed a new radio right now I would get the m17 over the 12 I am just not sure there is a compelling reason to upgrade.

I got my M17 last friday and tried it on track saturday, great feeling so far, very light and responsive.
Speaking of feeling, does anyone know what the "feeling" setting do? I tried it at both 7S (stock setting) and at 1S on both steering and throttle, didn't really see any difference to be honest.

Most "mom and pop retailers" will give you much better customer service than any of the big places. More of a one on one experience versus an automated experience.
