I imagine you guys have dayjobs as well. Keeping that in mind you guys must be very much dedicated to the hobby. Good luck on this quest, you have my respect.

Testing this weekend during the Bring the Heat race at Flowood RC PArk in Flowood, Mississippi went very well. Josh Glancy piloted the truck to a second place finish, also qualified second to Ryan Lutz. This was Josh first time ever driving the truck also. He was running the new CVD's that will be in the production truck. He was also running the original XSCT that is still going strong after a year. We look forward to recieving the new arms this week and continue pushing forward on the truck.

Not looking to get flamed but I heard they had to work with a few different manchinest to get arms made at the quality and price they needed. CV's are done bodies are done everything is ready but arms. They have had many obstacles to over come to mass produce this truck. Once the arms arrive some time to test the final product before completing the kits. You might see some team drivers with trucks in October if things go well.

I dont mind the delays, I hate that we only get an update when a bunch of potential customers get angry.

Believe me, we are just as angry as you. Over the past few months we have determined it is impossible to rely on manufacturing in the US. Some machine shops quoted us as much as $2000 for a set of 4 arms. Others were cheaper at $1500. I find it kind of ridiculous that I cannot fall back on my own damn country for simple cnc work. The arms are truly the last step. Since nobody wants to charge a fair price on arms we have decided to step up and purchase a big cnc machine. It is a huge and very costly step. However if I can justify the purchase by using it on other contracts I have then it could be justifiable. So that's where we are sitting on the project at the moment performing our due diligence and chugging along.
I have physically given up on the project a few times but the potential customers and continually growing interest keep me going. Thank to everybody for keeping the dream alive.
