Pintopower 1456 Posted November 20, 2016 Thanks for all your support guys! So I was at MIP Friday going over the numbers on the ball diff. So far they were at 110 in 4 days of sales. 80% to Europe and the rest are to the US. Zero to Japan. Does anyone know any Japanese forums as well as someone to break the language barrier? The need 140 more to start production so anyone with an ORV or planning on getting one should check this out. It is $42 flat in USA and $42+$10 shipping to anywhere in the world. Come Tuesday, the discount goes to 20% from 30% . Do the people in the Monster Beetle 2015 and BF 2016 threads know about this? Where are the Americans at? Who else is drooling over this? Link is here http://www.miponline.com/store/mip16210.html and discount code is oldskool30. Complete explanation of how the presales works as well as compatibility is here : https://youtu.be/Ugnm-dX0ekc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbimaster 190 Posted November 21, 2016 Pintopower, I'm not sure if you started a thread on any other forums with links, but I highly suggest R/C tech, and R/C universe as possible sites to target the American audience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GregM 1109 Posted November 21, 2016 I'd also give the friendly forums at Ultimate RC a shot for more sales in the US. EDIT: Sorry, I should have had a look at URC first before posting, I found the thread: http://www.ultimaterc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=237280 Still, it couldn't hurt to do some of the enthusiastic advertising there, including the video, just as you did here.

Hobbimaster 190 Posted November 21, 2016 Pintopower, I just made a post on R/C tech with a link to your video. More on the lines of a Q and A post without any sales links so it doesn't get flagged, moved or deleted. Maybe do the same thing here to get this info back on the general information page. I still think we are missing a lot of people down here in the sales section, I never really look in here myself, only now since this was moved and I seen the posts before the move.

khyzersoze 268 Posted November 21, 2016 @PintoPower Just a quick question. Does this mean that something like your rear brace with relocated suspension mounting is no longer needed? I'd probably still get one for the suspension, but just wondering if there is no longer a need for something like your brace keeping the gearbox together.

The point of my brace was to upgrade the suspension and take away the weird handling characteristics. I threw in a diff support since I happened to be there but it was not intended to fix the diff as I knew MIP was working on this. Hope that info helps.

Pintopower 1456 Posted November 22, 2016 its more than that now! Thanks for the help everyone but we have 80ish to go! Anyone know who runs tamiyablog? i emailed the mod there but haven't heard back. What about the MB and BF rere threads here? Facebook is plastered and so are all the forums I can but we need more exposure I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
