Is PPS still alive?

[RCSid]

I did say about 8wks, pretty close.
Hopefully mine is getting queued up to ship in the next few weeks. I was figuring valentines day arrival for mine.

I have a few of his 6s mounts and just installed the 8s grub lock. The lack of communication can be frustrating but his products are true works of art and allow a perfect mesh that doesn't move.

 

[RCSid]

Right on track. You want PPS, 6-8wks, plan accordingly. Can't wait, better off giving someone else your business.

Not really impressed with that to be honest. The adjuster seems like it was an afterthought but that's just me.

I agree. I ordered a pps mount because I heard that they were behind, got it delivered sometime this summer/fall? Didn't really NEED it, just wanted to check if they were really behind!

He may be getting caught up, Grublock Motor Mount for Arrma 6s BLX Platform. I received two shipping notifications for two orders. You're also able to add to cart for each variation of this item.

I need a dual motor mount. Anyone got one to sell. Lol

U can’t even order one off his site.

Scorched? Pricey...

The scorched mount is much harder to get both motors in sync. A lot easier with Pps

It blows me away how much the PPS mount has been copied and re-sold, but Powerhobby now is blatantly copying the mount.
Unless PPS is being paid a royalty on this, which would be great, but I find that unlikely...

This is a literal copy

 

[aaronass]

Yep and if u look at my post in classifieds they r selling the dual mount. I would b pissed if I was bob.

I’ll just post it here lol

Damn...they even put the same tools and extra bits in as well. That's a shame and should be illegal in the states UNLESS he sold them the rights to his design which I would doubt very seriously. They can get away with this in China since they don't have to obey US patent law but for a US company to do that is totally foul.

 

[aaronass]

Yea I agree with u . I will ask bob actually as I’ve been talking with him recently.

 

[LibertyMKiii]

It is a testimate of how great the product is when everyone is copying it.
I have the Scorched dual roto-lock and I much prefer the PPS mount.

 

[aaronass]

Yes I heard it harder to get the motors in sync y I waited and wanted Pps.

Unless Bob never patented it, in which case it’s fair game. Ironman RC took his design but then reengineered it to incorporate a side loading spool. I wish Bob would do this, because his machining is better. But it sure is nice being able to change the spur without removing the top brace or even the top of the motor mount. Makes servicing the shafts a lot easier as well, of course.

The side loading spool design was Bob's first also. He did that on the Hobao VTE2 mount. He just never added that design to the Arrma mount.

Power Hobby is a US company? I thought they were Chinese and just had a US sales division like how Hobbywing operates.

I had no idea! Why the heck didn’t he do it for the Arrma mounts? It’s a fantastic idea.
