Vanquish Products SLW

[chevotafun]

I know you guys r trying must just be my s--t a-- luck.Good to hear

i do not want to say on here which lhs thats between the two of u.

Sorry for comment 3

You should be able to control what goes on in ur own company other than the weather or what people r goin to buy.

i do realize u can only guess but things like these (rims) r pretty high demand by the looks of it so you thnk once you get down to 20 or 30 sets and you know it takes x amout of time to make more you should be on top of that.

Thats great to hear and i know when u get a change to get those new proect out they will be a great product like everything else u sell.

Yes u can only grow so fast but i guess that the price for have a great product that everyone wants

I'm a newb to this hobby, and to the forum - I still have a lot to learn when it comes to rc crawling. Coming from experience, I know what the guys at VP are feeling right now. It's a lot of work to stay quality driven, innovative, and keep up with the wants of the customer. It's a battle between keeping your inventory low, and having enough inventory to fill orders without running out. It's the age-old battle between supply and demand.

I agree, it can be frustrating when you want to order something and it's not in stock. I think 98% of us agree that VP manufactures and sells top quality parts. When I started building my Wraith and looking at upgrades, I thought VP was a little over priced - compared to other companies selling similar parts. Then I ordered my first VP part, and wanted to eat my words after seeing the quality of the parts. I will be a VP customer for as long as I am in this hobby. VP could easliy contract there work out (cast wheels instead of spun wheels, etc.). Yes, there would always be inventory in the parts we want, but then you start to see quality decline "quantity - not quality".

VP puts a lot of hard work and engineering into their products to be innovative and focused on quality. I'm sure those guys aren't taking 3 or 4 day weekends, or closing up shop for half the day. I would bet there are long hours being worked to try and get their heads above water and continue to sell us 5-star products.

I know that I probably sound like a VP fanboy. Like I said, I know the heat they are feeling and the growing pains they are going through. I'm sure the guys at VP will use this thread as constructive feedback, and grow (as a company) from our input.

-take my input for what it's worth...-

Thanks.

Looking for a set of raw V4s 1" wide to replace my black V1 1.35" wheels. Any idea when they'll be back in stock?

Raw is "silver"...it's not just a raw machined look with the tooling marks and such...



...hope that helps

What, other than price, is the difference between the "plain" versions and the "respun" models?

Respun is put back on the machine and takes a the annodizing off the face of the wheel, giving it the contrast look.
