I am biting the bullet and making a large enough quantity to be sure that no more delays will be experienced again.

I will talk to skyrocket(if he is still willing to talk to me) and discuss some kind of special deal for those that have had orders in and have been waiting so patiently. Something along the lines of a couple of sets of outdrives free with all existing pre orders.

Really can't wait to get it done and start work on some other ideas I have.

@decibels; Cheers for the info on the diff spring though, been looking for another one... Not overly keen on the kit item, none of the ones I've had seem completely perpendicular, so introduces a high spot..

Hahaha, welcome to my world let me tell you once you have something popular that you make, this is the time when everyone else in the world wants you to do something that takes you away from building that thing . Trust me you have nothing but understanding and sympathy from me I'm in the same boat!

I think I'm entitled to them.

You want warranty replacements!?!

JRXS Type R Owner
I want new arms!!!

(stunned silence)

HORIZON HOBBY CUSTOMER SERVICE
You can't handle new arms!

Son, we live in a world with injection molded plastics. And Losi’s injection moulding has to be supported by manufacturing companies in Asia. Who's gonna do it? RPM? Integy? Losi’s A-Arms have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for your R-Type and you curse Losi. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: That you’re a-Arms death, while tragic, probably saved your chassis. And Losi’s warranty, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, is not going to provide you with replacement new arms.

(beat)

You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want the new EA3 arms. YOU NEED THE NEW EA3 arms.
(boasting)

We use words like heat, pressure, vacuum forming...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent building performance plastics. You use 'em as a punchline.

(beat)

I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain Losi to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very technology I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a wrench and fix it yourself! Either way, I don't give a damn what you think about our warranty!

Did you use substandard manufacturing processes?

I did the job Losi sent me to do.

You're goddamn right I did!!!

There is, was, a hilarious video of Hitler on youtube yelling about the Tekin RS, but it looks like the resistance pulled it down. Anyone know where that video is?

Thanks.

Thanks.
