I'm extremely upset that there is another delay with the release of the ESC. It looks like the distributors might not get anything in until close to the middle of January. We have decided to order some off brand ESC/Motor combos from Kershaw Designs because of this.

Be wary, his motor/esc combos are most likely just rebranded Chinese stuff that you can get for 1/2 the price elsewhere.

Also, I've learned to never trust release dates, they are almost always delayed. I'd rather have a good product off the bat and have to wait than a defective or sub par product right now.

Btw.. where did you get the information about mid January?

I want to know where you heard that the distributors won't get anything until January. That's completely false.

Boo hoo. You know how long we waited for the damn mmm? So what it was worth it and so will the xl. It's not like you are the only one waiting, only difference is the others are smart enough to not waste time and money on off brand crap and wait patiently for the good stuff.

They are available for ordering right now. The website just hasn't been updated yet.

Excellent.. Should I just pickup ESC/motor now or do you suggest I wait for full package or buy conversation kit separately when it hits or use the RCM kit to get the ball rolling now? I assume a phone order is required until it hits the web site?

Patrick,

Update site Monday morning with a price for the combo and it sounds like you'll have a few more orders :), also makes it easier for those of us wanting to use Paypal and such....

Great news... Does that include the motor, conversion kit? I'm still crossing my fingers I can do something before Christmas...

I'm pretty sure it's just the ESC? Since there's no mention of the motor on the checkout page at all. $350 would be much to cheap for the combo anyhows.

Well, mines ordered! :D Going to order another when the motor comes out, I can't really drop the cash on two 2230s right now, haha.

I agree with Cody.
I would rather wait and get a good product then have it released and have allot of issues.
I am sure it will be worth it in the end :D
