Danny where are you racing locally?

I live just 30 minutes from Montreal. Not much racing around here in the summer so I go to Ottawa to race.

Not sure why it would be different on a phone then desktop but all motors are on pre-order only. Should have a ship date this week.

Danny every now and then when I am on the site some of the motors show they are in stock, when I ordered my 8.5 the 10.5's were shown as in stock, then when I went back everything was pre-order, not sure why but that what it showed.

We sell what I feel to be the best batteries so it would make no sense to rush and release a 17.5 just to sell one. Just like batteries I will do my homework and figure out what is the best 17.5 we can offer.

Guess I better get something else for now.

Not currently, but if the demand arises.

My guess is that submitting for ROAR approval would push the price of these motors up to the $80+ level and that would be a shame. For a lot of us that club race with an occasional big race (that may not enforce all ROAR rules either), $50 for a motor is a great deal since I don't have to deal with ROAR limitations.

I did live in Elkton from 2000 to end of 2003. Been back home in Canada since early 2004.

Really not sure why the site is acting up with the motors. Seems like it works fine with packs for pre-orders. I asked my web guy to try and look into this and see if he can fix this.

We may get them ROAR approved but I want to see how the demand is at first for these. Most tracks I know of you can race non approved motors and packs.

JMURACN 07-18-2013 01:05 PM

just got teased under "Latest" at the bottom of the webpage... it said the 6.5Ts were "add to cart"

click on it and it says "pre-order"

Danny/SMC 07-18-2013 01:22 PM

Yes weird glitch with the Latest section. Web guy should be resolving this soon.

Any closer to getting a tracking number?

If there is no delays with Chinese export customs and US customs the motors should be in this Friday. Will post info as soon as I know everything is on schedule.
