Just starting the Rock Force build

[concepts]

Thought about getting into Rock Crawlers for a while. As a child I loved Stompers...still have a vast collection of them.

I'm mostly into planes, but have a couple RC trucks, all electric, a bike and a sailboat.

The Rock Force looks like a great kit. Looking forward to getting on it, unfortunately, both drive shafts are missing from the kit...thats all I noticed so far. I did get the dig, so it came with one. Is there a drawing that shows how the dig for the Rock force goes together?

Thanks for your help!

Yeah, i got a rockforce to ,and the 2 worm wheel shafts where missing to.But im in newzealand so it m will take for ever to get them i guess!:-(:x:evil:

I bought it while on holiday,come home ,up early sunday morning ,open bag 1,hello no shafts ,BUGGA what a great start!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[concepts]

It stinks doesn't it.... I was all ready to get into it, then BAM no shafts....got hit with it right away.

My other question, is there a discription of the DIG assembly somewhere??

Thanks

[dkingston]

Pages 27, 28 and 29 in the manual describe the installation and setup of the dig.


- David

[concepts]

Thanks David...also, would I want the HS gear system for both axles or just one?

hook-up, kewl...

[psn]

Not to pile on, looks like a real nice kit, but mine is missing both "worm wheel shafts" as well (PN's "RF006"). It looks like my serial number is somewhere in between 2760, +/-20 (?). Inspector Yamazaki needs some new glasses.

^^^ same info on my box

they will make it right . just call tomorrow. several have had this problem. Inspector Yamazaki needs some new glasses. makes me lol"thumbsup":lol::lol::lol::lol:

Yeah I just emailed Kyosho. I suppose this is the (small) price we pay for an industry that is moving at lightspeed, rushing to push fresh new products out the door. Nothing bores me more than a stagnant industry recycling the same old stuff. That is certainly not the case here. What a great time to be into rc crawling!

Though I am not quite sure what to do about those "tires" in my $400 kit....they'll make good dog toys I suppose. Blah.

im going to practice the cut and shut and hopefully have another option for my mini

[vipxj]

Im going to give the tires a chance,give me something to assemble while i wait patently for the worm wheel shafts lol.

Mr Yamazaki needs a rocket up the @&(e:flipoff:.

Good idea to practice cut n' shutting!!

Kysoho already repsonded to my email about the missing parts so hopefully they have them, and ship them out quickly. Tonight I am going to build everything else.

[BILLYGOAT]

did Mr Yamazaki get a vacation. oh the shame:lol::lol::lol:

[psn]

He got the old samurai sword out behind the shop. Man, I hope the missing parts arrive before the weekend. (getting itchy)

[concepts]

I hear you. I figured since it was their bad, they would at least send them out 2 day air delivery. I own a business ...if I make a mistake, parts go out next day air, no questions asked. I try to keep the customer happy...I spare no expense. I guess, thats the difference in the little guy... If I was in a super rush I would have made my own....

I would have if I known they would have taken 5 or more days to get here.

[XTREME RACING]

They sent my replacement parts out UPS ground. Only took about 4 days, not bad from coast to coast.

[concepts]

That wouldn't be bad.... If its going USPS, then it will be 5 days mininum.


On another note I received my high speed gears today... I matched them up with what my truck came with, and the worm gear mesh perfectly with one another....is there any chance that they packed high speed gears inmy kit? HMMM

[BILLYGOAT]
