Please tell me that someone in the community has made this mistake so I can feel better about myself . Has anybody purchased a chassis got about 90% of the way through the build goes to hook up their center driveshaft and spool and realizes it doesn’t fit so you start taking out things trying different sizes shafts looking at your other streched typhon and your Kraton looking and then measuring to find that the motor Mount and gear cut out is an inch different I’m wondering what the hell could be off . So I write a nasty email send pictures to the place I got it telling them their measurements are off . Then and only after my nasty email I looked at my order and guess what folks I ordered a Talion chassis so I had to flip my Pinnicho spool around because the driveshaft is longer in the front of a Talion and it’s the same as a kraton only it’s reversed . I sent an apology email haven’t heard back

And that’s better

It was an honest oversight..


Offer to buy them a pack of their favorite beer.. All will be right again.

You haven't heard back from them... Because they're probably running around in their factory/warehouse checking to see- "How the hell did our chassis measurements get throw off THAT much....!?"

I have done that in the past with one of our vendors at a place I used to work.
I had to man up and come clean with my bosses that I messed up.

If it wasn’t pouring out I’d be trying it out. But ready for its maiden voyage
@Tex Koder for that bad ass motor support
