Got my 35T TorqueMaster Sport in yesterday, only took a tiny bit over a week to get it. Thanks for the great product, I'll definitely be buying from you again "thumbsup"

Huge thanks for all the help and advice, and the ridiculously fast shipping. Ordered Monday afternoon, and it's here today. Now if my drive line parts would hurry up, I can install this thing!!

No the silver is not factory I did that so it would add some color break up when running.

Hey John, just sent you an email. Have a question about the rebuild order. Thanks.

Re: Holmes Hobbies Feedback...Unbelievable Support..Why to support Vendors
 
I've sent a few emails and posted in another thread here. Trying to check the status of my motor that I needed rebuilt. And my warranty claim on my BRXL Waterproof. I appreciate it!

Same problem here, I've been sending emails for 2 weeks with no response. The order for two in stock items was placed on the 11/21 but I still haven't received them.

We lost our labor worker on the 5th and we are all spread too thin covering the extra. I've been off the computer and just making motors and training the new guy. I will make sure everything gets taken care of. We are just in a tough position at the worst time of year, it will take some extra time to fill all the orders and get the new guy up to pace.


Kinda sucks being on the edge of small company/ big company. When we lose one guy it really hurts everybody else. I haven't gotten a single task on my personal list done for weeks! We were set up to have all orders done within a few days of ordering on back Friday, and having a key team member decide to quit right after blew up all the planning.

completely understandable!!!! any one who doesn't understand the amount of craziness you vendors deal with regardless of time of year don't deserve a set of your amazing motors. Well sir you have one patient customer up here I guess I will just go outside and shovel snow and ice fish till my sexy 400's show up! I hope you get some personal stuff accomplished seeing as you only have 6 days till X mas:mrgreen::mrgreen:
Merry Christmas from the great white north

I am in the same position with my order #13296, hopefully they get things ironed out soon..would like to at least hear from them thru email about whatever is causing the delay...

Ride it out guys. Sounds like they are going through a tough time. John is a great guy and he will do the best he can to make it right. Emails are slow but be patient its gonna be worth it.

Re: Holmes Hobbies Feedback...Unbelievable Support..Why to support Vendors
 
I sent a motor in to be repaired back at the end of November and am still waiting to hear any word on it. Now I have 2 BRXL's that quit and need them checked out. I have emailed the website 4 times with no response. Then posted to their facebook with no response. And also went through this site to email John last week and no response. I would think even short handed you could reply to emails while not at the office. My sons hand wound motor lasted less than an hour and now I sent it in to be repaired 1 1/2 months ago and can't get any response. I don't see how I can support a company like this when there is ZERO customer service.

I just don't see how you can expect to run a business and not even reply to your customers. After 1 1/2 months of no response, I don't see any excuse for that.

Hi I also am on this massive waiting list ordered a brxl and torquemaster expert around new years and still nothing . I also sent a email to them , nothing. And then I come to this page, lo and behold this problem is worse than expected. I would say I know but I don't know how good the stuff jrh sells all I know is I heard a bunch of positive stuff about product and service. So far no product to speak of , or service . I am a little put off by the lack of a phone also. I don't care what the excuse a business should have a phone. Please don't build yourself up to let all of the customers down. Its slightly comical that this thread is under the heading "unbelievable support". I await my order and if this stuff is any less than perfect Ive got many words to describe my experience to future customers of hh. Make this right please all I ask. Sometimes you only get one chance.....

allanon1965 01-17-2014 10:41 PM

I just dont understand the lack of any kind of response at all...how long would it take to post a message here and say what is going on and give some idea about any progress in the situation...i realize something was posted early december but keep us updated...

Secondly...if you cant handle the order load due to circumstsnces beyond your control...temporarily put a hold on any new orders so you can catch up....

Either way...communicate something! Anything!

When i get an email stating my order was completed and shipped....i expect it will be here within 3-5 days...but i never got anything beyond the usps stating electronic notification of shipment received on the 8th of january...nothing else...its now the 17th of january...

People telling me to be patient aint cutting it...i want to hear from holmes hobbies...

You can find the asked for info here.

Though I do agree that THIS is the thread where it should have been posted.

Spent an extra five hours on emails yesterday, it is a start. One of these days HH will be big enough for a dedicated customer service force. I'm counting the days because it is much tougher to work service a half day and fill orders the other half. This sort of split makes it easy to get behind on orders or emails when one has a jump in volume. Robbing Peter to pay Paul in a way.

When it boils down to it I'm having to learn how to manage employees and become a bigger asshole. Much harder than manufacturing a motor, let me tell you! I know it sucks for quite a few customers, being without an answer or update right now. But there is not a choice but to continue working on the problems. I have a family and employees that depend on it! Just know that it will take time to fix everything up to every customer's satisfaction.

We will be contacting for outstanding orders and work via emails and phone calls. The forum is not an effective method for customer service. I see the issues and will make sure everybody is taken care of in the next five business days.

Thank you for the reply John, I have been in business myself and understand issues come up. I didnt realize just how many orders you guys were behind on, my apologies.

Awesome motors

The million magnet explosion! We will upgrade you to the production can and endbell from the earlier protos. You will really like the change in performance, your low speed resolution will be better and the motor will have more torque. If this is one of a pair, send both in so they are matched.

JOHN!!!

RC4WD Killer Krawler 26# Beast

You suggested Puller 500Crawler Type which there are many versions. Which do you recommend? Are you familiar with the Killer Krawler to know the gear rations to compensate for the 25-30# or huge 9.6" tire diameter?
Puller 500 Crawl Crawler or Puller 500 Flow Crawler?
Crawl 13T, 16T, or 20T 131g ...RACER
Flow 30T, 35T, or 40T 144g ...CRAWLER

RACER speeds would be great, but not sure if it would be practical or achieavable for such a beast.

Why not brushless which seems so popular these days?

What about the TorqueMaster Puller combo? the Cobalt Puller with a TorqueMaster ESC?

I'm waiting for a motor ordered a month ago, is a very long wait, but what I create moodiness is not only the expected,
is the lack of communication...


... it is very sad that the best engine manufacturer, is also the worst in the order management and communication.

My 2 cent

Never had issues so far with delays, maybe I was lucky but even with the international shipping always got my stuff very fast, maybe John had all in stock....

Anyway great quality and performance motors!

Btw I also got several questions answered back via email pretty quickly :)
