Does this mean we order them Monday will they be sent on Monday or later in the week?

Hi,
You'll get your e-mail and from their you can order your kit that you joined the pre-order list for.

However, as you've been the most sarcastic and critical about the release date i'll hold your kit back especially.

The hassles we've had have been out of our hands. We'll just be glad once everyone has the kit and finds out for themselves how good it is!

Hi Holeshot,

I have the same answer as you have read on the Australian R/C Tech forums......unfortunately I pre-ordered 3 days before the Australian distributorship was announced. From now on my support will be with the Australian agent.

As for the distribution rights in other countries - they are negotiated sepearately. I beleive the US already has a distributor?

As the product is manufactured in Asia - it stands to reason tha those shops/distributors would get the product slightly before the other side of the world. Durango have done a pretty good job of doing a co-ordinated world wide release.

God knows how patient Adam has been with our constant "badgerings" - mate - you deserve a medal!!

Cheers

I got in contact with Venom and they said that racers can only purchase the kits and parts direct from them, you wont see them in hobby stores

That's pretty much what I was alluding to mate.

It will be a good thing for the brand here in Australia.

I didn't get an email either. Depressing since I woke up with credit card in hand and dove at my computer. Guess there's no point in being on the preorder list for us.

I was the same. I was checking my email every half hour.
Hopefully it will arrive today instead. I sent my preorder email
on the first day so I hope that there won't be a problem now.
