Default GPM Hop ups question

I placed my order with GPM and payed with paypal, Got my PO in my email and that was 7 days ago. Does it take a long time to ship? I emailed Clara but no reply.

The updated steering kits will be the ones produced AFTER November 17th.

I think my parts took about 2-2.5 weeks. GPM will do good, don't worry.

Once I replace my newest broken CVD axle(broke another one Sunday, makes 2 in under a week).... I'll mod my GPM steering to kill off what slop still remains.

That's because I was in contact with GPM about my concerns with a high failure rate due to the improper design. They are at the top of my list for customer service.

Thanks Toyofast for all of your efforts with GPM and the CC01. I realy appreciate it. I have been sending them my ideas as well. Clara said this in one of my emails...

Dear Edward,

Sorry for the late reply. Your order will be able to ship out today in the evening.

And our shipping department will send you the tracking number to inform you.

Moreover, thanks for giving us suggestions to make more parts for this car, however, the transmission cover or aluminum axle housing are quite complicated parts to make, we may want to start producing them in a later stage after all parts in our current pricelist are OK, and for the steel dogbones, we may think about this sooner !

Thanks again !

Best Regards
Clara

The Steel dogbones would be great! I hope they start making them soon.

I received confirmation yesterday that I should be expecting my steering kit and knuckles. I was told that the steel universals and the c-hubs will ship out December 17th.

I wish we could get some sort of sticky with GPM information since there are not a lot of hop ups for the CC01
