For the U.K. Family, D.M.S. has a supply of X - 6 Squared Kits now, and the printed instruction manuals are in U.K. customs as I write. The Distributor Family was shipped first, and I understand some U.K. model shops have K021 Kits now.

The following was posted a few minutes ago on another forum board, and applies to those living outside U.K. or Japan:



Last of the Dealer orders went out the door today, so Paul is going to turn the Kit loose on the web site this weekend.

Dealer demand has been incredible, and we have far fewer Kits left than we thought we would. You can imagine that way back in October we tried to gauge demand and ordered the AE parts + lots of other stuff. That means we can only make X number of Kits with the parts we have. Meanwhile, the Dealer Family has expanded greatly. More parts have been ordered already and all the X Factory parts will be delivered very soon, but some AE parts are on back order.

So, we don't have as many for web site retail sales as we wanted to have -- bad -- but we sold lots more to dealers than we expected -- good. As you can see, if your local hobby store in an X Factory Dealer, fastest way to get your X - 6 Squared Kit is through him. If your local shop does not carry X Factory, ask the manager to contact us.

Keep careful watch on the site. If you want an X - 6 Squared Kit, get in quick before they are gone.

Default New Kits On Our Site At Last

I posted this on another web site, so wanted to put it here. U.K. drivers especially should know that D.M.S. has had their K 021 Kits for over a week, and that their Kits do not yet have printed instruction manuals. The manuals were sent about a week ago and we think they are in customs. We think they arrived in U.K. before the volcano, but have no idea how long customs will take now. If you want a K 021, some of the model shops have them, and some are waiting for the manuals. The manual is available from our site online to download or just look at while building. I'm sure any U.K. shop will sell you an X - 6 Squared Kit now without the manual and give the the book when it arrives.

The post, put here mostly for those not living in U.K.:

Check our web site now for the new X - 6 Squared Kit, ready to purchase on line at last. Part of the reason for the delay is that Paul has greatly improved and updated the info on the site, which took about two days.

Remember that hobby stores were shipped last week, so if your LHS is an X Factory dealer, the quickest way to get the new Kit is through him. Even in Europe, where some dealers' Kits have been "volcanoed," the stores will have the new Kits first. If your LHS does not stock X Factory, ask the manager why and tell him to contact us. chazz@4wdrc.com will get the ball rolling.

You may notice that both Conversion Kits are on backorder. We are out of motor plates, and stole every one we could from the Conversions to make the new K 021 Kits. But the plates have been shipped, and should be here Thursday, so Conversion Kits will be back in stock very soon.

Our consignement was on a flight inbound from Chicago in the early hours of Thursday morning and due to land in the UK mid afternoon our time, well as we all know, NO flights landed beyond 12pm on THursday, so we believe the flight was re-routed elsewhere , just not sure where???

UK customs at present cannot confirm the exact whereabouts of the shipment and their best guess is that is is being transported back to the UK now via road and rail networks

So for the time being we will have to continue with the online version of the manual and stores will still have acess to "instruction-less" kits for the interim period.........

+1 here, patience is wearing thin now and my curiosity is fading fast. New X6 to replace my existing 1 could be the way to go!
