| No more RCP CVDs!!
I went to order a set of CVDs from RCP but they were sold out so I ordered 2 CVD outer axles. I received the wrong parts yesterday and e-mailed them about it and asked if they plan on re stocking the full sets. They returned my e-mail with a snotty ass e-mail saying "They sent me what we had talked about, All the little peices, and if you wanted the outer shaft than its not little" Never $uckin talked to anyone. I ordered part #WK10215 outer axle and they sent me 2 outer axles for a 1/8 buggy with internal threads. No little peices so I dont know what the hell they are talking about. I sent a very sweet response As for the CVDs they have no plans on making anymore. I told them that from a money making business stand point that would be a dumb move. I told them about the steel tranny builds here and that people will need CVDs and that the WK isnt dead yet by far. I'm pretty sure RCP is the only place to get MIP CVDs but if I'm wrong PLEASE tell me. I think we could persuade RCP with a few E-mails. rockpiledriver@rcpcrawlers.com or info@rcpcrawlers.com or maybe some phone calls 909 233 8223 |

Well I had you confused with someone else sorry about that. Here is an exact copy of the "snotty as-email" I sent. I thought I asked and you said it was all the small parts missing? Isn't that what you received? If you were missing an axle part that is not one of the small parts. No we do not plan to make the WK CVD's again after these are gone. To clarify that, I wanted to be sure exactly what was missing before I shipped what I thought was a second request for the same thing. Your reply was what I needed to know in the first place. As for the WK CVD's It will take more than just a few e-mails and or calls to make that happen. Our last lot has lasted almost 3 years. What that means is the minimum order of these is HUGE and EXTREMELY expensive. Sales of these have just not been strong enough to restock currently. I hate it that this is the case, but unless people buy a product, any product, consistently over it's projected sales life, it is hard to expect a company to restock. |

Well my 1st email had my order # and part # at the top. Sorry about my anger towards this but I have $2,000 invested in my WK and I'm just a little pissed that the next time I break a CVD it will be the last time I get to bash my truck.

OK, I guess if you count every part you have ever bought for it. You said $2000 in it so I looked at the pics and thought "Damn, someone stuck it to him" |

I dont know what pics you were looking at but I think my truck is pretty sick. Not saying I would pay 2Gs for it as it stands, but I have bought every part for it. I got this truck brand new bone stock 2 years ago. It is just about as bulletproof as you can make a WK and just about every mod known for it. (keeping the MT look) Even mailed my tranny to Denmark for some custom steel gears and a slipper clutch install.

| I bet that was the single scariest thing you have ever done, not knowing if you would ever see that tranny again |

| Jonny you could use a set of LOSI LST cvd's like I did on my BTA axle, and make your axles a little wider at the same time |

How many people need to be interested in order for you to place an order? I know I would like to have 2 sets. I tried messaging your company on 2 different occasions and never got any kind of response. Sucks to hear you don't want to order any more, but maybe we can change that if there is enough interest??? | |

Sorry Brian I have to... Seriously? A $2000 WK? Why not an HPI Stadium truck? I know the RS4MT has your name all over it. Good luck with your CVD issues. |

Too eaches own though. I like my wk because i built alot of the stuff myself. I only finished 2 spots behind a bigballer at the midwest challenge with mine. ( Was having a bad day and motor issues) Hey Chong digga. Hit me up around April 8th or so. ( Still at work) I am pretty sure i have a extra set in my Parts bin. All of us WK runners gotta stick together! Last edited by rottenbelly; 03-23-2010 at 06:22 PM. | |
