Any Update?

[QUICKSAND]

Workin' on 'em as I can.... got 14 ready to send out Mon. or Tues. and 10 more servos coming apart. Will need to get into the machine to run off a couple more small parts though, but work has precedence. Trying to finish a job as I type that needs to be done for tomorrow. Then I may have a day or two for myself...

Your still about 30 winches out.... If I can get these parts run off... things should pick up pace again.

I do have a few of you guys on that alternate list though... and it looks like I may have a few back outs. So we'll see what happens....

As always... thanks for being patient.

[Maddog Madigan]

Thanks for your hard effort on getting these spectacular pieces of art to us in time. I'm excited!! Now its Sunday, I think you deserve a break....

[QUICKSAND]

You're welcome... and thanks. As for a break... unfortunately not tonight.... just had a tap give up in the part I'm making right now. Machine is cutting it out now, then it's back to work so it'll be finished for tomorrow.

Thanks for the update, still waiting patiently.

Any way I can get on the alternate list?

Thanks,
Dean

[QUICKSAND]

You're welcome Dean... and sure, I can put you on the Alternate list.

It's staying fairly small... which is what I was hoping for, so that those who really want one soon for something special... may have a chance. So thanks guys for not going crazy with this.

And I'll keep working on them as I can... to try and get them to everyone on the list as soon as possible.

Thank you Neil, the PNW Scale event is fast approaching and I have some thing planned.

Hey Neil, what servo do you use for the motor?

Guts are from the Hitec HS7955 or the Hobbico CS-170

Thanks very much! And thanks for posting up the great pics your trucks look fantastic! Bumper looks great as well... love the way the winch sits down in there, just like the 1:1 with the front mounting. The extra long free spool release looks... well.... anyway, I hope it works ok, and I do understand the purpose. I've got an idea for a release option.... when I get around to working out the details, I'll get in touch with you guys.

Thanks for droppin' by... Had a productive week and weekend.... got 200 brake wheel flippers made, and hope to finish up a run of about 130 brake wheels in the next day or so. Also drove down to Denver today and picked up the aluminum I needed for the next part. If I can get to it this week, then I can get another 15 or so winches built.... then I'll need motor covers. After that however, I think I'll have all the parts needed to cover all the orders on my list. Lots of servo dis-assembly... gear modifying and winch building.... but the pace should pick up.

For those of you still hanging in there..... thanks for your patience.
