What is the deal, I want my combo

[Semi Pro]

amain now says the 6th

I want my combo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone know what the deal is? Amain still says today, I am waiting for my LHS to call and say it is on its way. I was wanting it this weekend for racing. Can someone from Tekin please chime in and let us know what the deal is, I ordered the 2050kv combo.

[RBMike]

Now it says 4/17. Here we go again playin the waiting game. I wonder why none of these companies can make a delivery date.

Yeah I know it is very irratating! Can someone from Tekin please chime in and let us know what the deal is.

[Semi Pro]

10 more days might kill you guys?

or would you rather have a system like the monster that was rushed and had tons of problems?

i would wait till next year if i had to for a quality product

I could wait a month, however I would like to know what is up they keep changing the date, they should just say a date and keep with it. This date changing thing is BULL!

I think the irritation is that people would just like to know so they can plan accordingly. It just seems like dates get set all the time and rarely get held. I'm in the same boat - I just built my XB808 and everything is ready to go. I really want the RX8 system but I have no idea how long it will take to get. If I knew that I would decide if I want to wait or get something else. I'd just like to know personally.

I know several key people at Tekin were racing this weekend at the Silver State race running in the Electric Buggy class (which Tekin Sponsored.) They had a good showing from what I saw on LiveRC. I'm sure once they get back and dig out they will post with news on availability - and plenty of real-world results with the new systems.

I am so looking forward to the release of the new system....It will do nicely in my 3.3 Revo conversion

i understand, i have a bran new buggy for mine to go into too and i am planning on useing it as my main race buggy for the season, but if they rush it and it fails then it wont do me any good either.

[gixxer]

hopefully they actually show up for the 17th. it would be nice if tekin would give a straight answer though.

[TekinTeamMgr]

We were at Silver State laying it down! What a huge event. That track was a true torture test and the RX8 and T8 motors had NO issues.

I'd apologize for the delay if I thought it would make you feel better. I'd rather make sure it's right the first time and eat some pride and agreeing that we missed a due date over shipping them not knowing they were 100%.

Some things are just out of our hands at times, as much as we don't like it. We want you to have these as much or more than you want them, trust me. I'd like nothing more than to have a happy warm home for all of the RX8's.

I'll try and take a photo of the huge boxes on their way out.
