A new Element uncovered? IFS Conversion for Enduro and SCX10

Amain seems to take forever to ship what you ordered.

It's always been hit and miss for me. Same with their customer service. Funny thing is that if you order from their eBay store it's typically really fast delivery.
 
I do understand their reward program if that is the case, what I dont understand is all the bullsh@$^ thrown to people about inventory issues and not been available for the east coast.

Mine is clearly coming from there:

Well that's ****ed up. I preordered at AMain thinking preorders would be taken care of first. Apparently that's not true. Another reason for me to avoid AMain.

I agree! That is BS! Pre-orders should be in line first to ship out before the item says "in stock" and available to everyone else.

Also, it looks like my kit and @shOyx kit is shipping out of Charlotte at the same time. So since you are one state to the east of me, which puts us on the east coast, your order should also be in Charlotte with ours.

Hopefully RPP can get your kit to you quickly!
 
Poor form on their part. They clearly gave the guy the wrong information and shipped out the rest of ours even though we all ordered much later.

I’d be disappointed too.
 
I’m sorta stumped on this AMain shipping stuff.
I’ve been a silver and gold”VIP” for a while now. I’ve preordered also.
I place my orders and don’t pay the $3 priority, all is filled and shipped the same or next business day, Unless it says 4 or 5 day shipping, they’ve also split my orders for quick shipping.
When USPS has snafu’d a couple of orders I’ve called , talked to the same person, ask specific questions and have always gotten proper and correct answers. They’ve even duplicated a couple of orders that got lost, then arrived, never wanted returns. As I live in South Florida, I’m usually quite happy with the shipping service.


Hang up and Drive
 
Order, at this point I think at least with Amain, it has to be the VIP rank of the account, I have a platinum account and maybe that's why. They priorities based on rank for preorder items.

Missed this part. I think you may be right. Anyone get one shipped from Amain that isn’t platinum or gold?
 
WooHoo, the mail lady just dropped off a RRP package that contained the IFS ( i pre ordered the 14th and live in the PNW) SSD goodies, and all of the hard plastic parts. Then the prime man dropped off my new treal 1.9 beadlocks. Will post pictures this evening. Gotta paint a new body as well since the weather is awesome today. The K10 and super swampers just aint right with IFS.

Edit: when installing the servo the instructions shows it installs from the bottom of the servo mount, if done like this it puts the servo steering linkage at a really steep angle. i installed the eco power 110t from the top and everything now lines up perfectly.

Just got my shipping notification. I though I was gold status but apparently that ran out for me in December so I'm back to worthless commoner level.

If my kit is shipping out of Charlotte, I should have it by Saturday but if it is coming from CA, then some time next week.

That is messed up. I ordered mine 2 weeks ago, I'm not clear on how site orders from yesterday are shipping out before pre-orders. That's a bunch of crap. I'm not a gold member or anything, but I spend a ton of money there.

I mean, I'm not in any extreme hurry to get it, and I'm a patient person but WTF? :shock:

EDIT - mine is now in shipping status, so apparently it's ready to go.

EDIT 2 - JUST SHIPPED!

It’s been like 30 minutes. Is your truck built yet? LoL.

:lmao::lmao::lmao: My truck has been built for 10 months, but my IFS is still resting in its box until tomorrow. Still going to see how much work it would be to put SSD portals on it. "thumbsup"

Who is going to be the first to try to smush a set of spider gears in this bad boy :D

I have an Axial set if anyone needs some dimension ;)

You are never getting an open diff with the Element gear set.

The ring gear is way too small to fit a diff cup containing anything but gears so tiny they would turn to dust under 55T brushed power.
 
This is going on my Trailwalker. :)

Man you guys ordering from Amain will get it faster than my LHS!

Nice! Glad to see someone else with the same idea!

Can't wait to see the install video!;-)
