Do you have specs of the motors you'll be stocking?

full specs will be up on the website in a couple of weeks

I can't be the only one visiting your website daily seeing if the brushless motors have become available?

 

It's like the desperation to get Glasto tickets ?

I gave it a good test and got some amazing accuracy out of it.  give it a try and see how you get on.

Well, ak2m4 does it again. Got home from work to a bouncy kid telling me I've got a weird looking parcel to open...?

Those 6.00's are gorgeous. Just from en engineering perspective they look fantastic! Cheers bud. 

Now, cue the music ....?

Went to @ak2m4again for some more bits, hope you had good down time early January (when I went looking for the parts). 

Super speedy postage and great looking bits.

Awe thanks.  The factory did a cock up so I'm always more than happy to pass on those products at a super knockdown price.  Even offering no questions asked return, just want to give people the option of trying a super tight bore for peanuts. 

 

Next week I'm hopefully going to test out some MRs with 5.5mm long nubs which I think will maximise the bucking.

I had all the intentions of upgrading the website but soon realised was going to probably take me 4-6 weeks instead ? migrating all the data was a huge pita.

 

Hopefully soon going to be offering £1.50 shipping again on large letter products under £12.50, I'll be trialling it for 6 weeks.

Friday 9th and no brushless motors ?

 

That money's burning a hole in my pocket.

I just got back home, there's a minor pinion fitment issue that I need to fix but the tester has been out with an independent guy so I'll post up his thoughts on the motor later this evening.

On that subject the XT D pinion is a tight fit on the XT 22 TPA motor, you need to be The Hulk to get it on (or I'm a wimp / should be using a tool to do it (I had to use a c clamp to get the last one on).

i'm hoping to get some new CNC ones made in the spring but it's a tricky thing to machine correctly.  Priced around £10, bit different to £3 but super nice.

I appear to have spent more money at ak2m4. ?????

And it arrived safe and sound. I like the flat postage box, make the posties job easier and I don't have to check the doorbell every 5 minutes ?

that's wonderful news.  The flat little boxes are a godsend.  90% of the orders I have can fit into a Large Letter box, this allows me to keep the fee for Tracked 24 to just £3.30 (Royal Mail price rise imminent) plus you don't need to be in when the post arrives.  I could save a buck or 2 by going down the jiffy bag route like most other retailers but nah keep it boxed....
