Have emailed to ask so hopefully they will respond this time. Odd, Darren from DMS is normally very good with responding, shipments of everything are still all over the place, but Feb is a long time to wait.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 I’ve finally modified the original shocks in their now to replace the red alloy parts with some black alternatives so that they meter match the shell colours. The new black alloy parts came from some budget AliExpress shocks and aren’t quite as nice as the originals. They seem like they will do their intended job though and the modified shocks still operate as smoothly as they did before the update (and are much better than the donor shocks). If anyone else ever want to try this these are the parts I bought for this swap: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOzzOju 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really have any space in the house for the printer these days, apart from using it on the dining table, as the kids seem to have taken it all up with their stuff. The little rubber strips I put down seem to be holding up well though so I’ve been getting by without any damage to my battery packs this far.

I have heard the same so hopefully mine will be with me soon after 8+ months! 🤣 Curious what version I get as I think these have meant to have been slowly coming to the UK since Feb so I wonder if they are the older version which had a different transmitter and receiver!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the liveries also changed but most places are still showing the old one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only slight issue (ignoring the price/availability) is they don’t fit onto the EMB chassis so it would end up needing a whole new PRG-2 build if I did get one. Still tempting though. https://www.bigsquidrc.com/lc-racing-1-10-ptg-2r-4wd-rally-car-kit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigGinge Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 I saw this after it popped up on facebook yesterday. I like that this is a kit now and the small number of upgrades they've put in over stock look very welcome; in particular the adjustable motor mount and mudguard set. However, I'm not sure that I could seriously consider one yet as DMS still haven't managed to get the original ones into stock (and don't seem to be doing too well in general with LC Racing this year) so I wouldn't be confident on the new kits being easily available in the UK any time soon. Hopefully all the stock/shipping issues can get sorted out over the next year or so though as these are still very tempting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still waiting for mine to turn up they said 10 days so might get it very soon. but if they were on a boat then that would explain the delay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
