| Quote-I think everyone here wants to know if there are issues to be looked at but if you approached it in a different way it may have been handled in a different way. Something like....well I rang up Synergy or my local rep with a list of concerns and the company gave great service, was concerned with the issues and resolved them as soon as they could. If the issues were then discussed and a note saying the company was looking into them with fixes for those concerned the problems could have been seen for what they are...an initial bunch of teething problems that are solvable.-Unquote
Ok so i gave a bad analogy maybe i can't compare it to a 747 what i'm trying to put across is that my instance and possibly others, unconfirmed perhaps, should not happen again as most have checked and will continue to keep an eye on the TT.
If i refer back to my initial post in Kit gripes so far..
1.Ball links seem under size
2.Boom supports inadequate, i've added a K&S strut clamp, makes it a little more rigid
3.Why put the fuel vent on the right side when the muffler is on the left, and as for that fitting....
4.Brass sleeve in tail kit (7mm) needs moving to anti rotation kit and vice versa (5mm)
5.NO ANTENNA TUBE
6.a.Washout arms hit swash at extremes !! (trim outer hole off)
6.b.Make them out of metal!
7.Servo mount screws really should be next size up i have bigger in my trex!!
8.Clutch lining not thick enough, excessive gap necessitating high engine rpms to engage (and eventual clutch breakage),could also do with a shim under clutch for shoe to hub clearance.
9.Ditch the collet fan hub make one like quick UK do for the rappies that screw on the crank thread!!
10.Clutch bell distorted (in my kit anyway)
Hands up who had 1,4,6,8,9!
I phoned our uk rep over this and the only ISSUE i had at that time was ball links to which the reply was they are being worked on, the rest were gripes that i had personally with the kit all fixed for little or no outlay.
I have since had the one way bearing slip in housing and finally the TT fail, i have never bitched on about dialing in the fan hub because mine was spot on, i think i've put up with my fair share of grief here and like i said before paid for the priviledge to say what i want, yes probably prematurely but i was frustrated and very annoyed!
I have spoken since to the uk rep about my TT incident and he confirmed that there have been no instances recorded, did i expect any different no, however he was sympathetic and i'm still waiting for bits as supply has been lacking or is it just spares have sold out (supply and demand) Bob would confirm this.
I have since tried to contact the US division of synergy RC and still no answer.......
Most of the quotes you listed have been taken out of the context where i was trying to defend myself against an onslaught of synergy RC police
I still maintain that this kit is overpriced for what it is now, and do not dispute that when it is sorted would be worthy of that price tag, lets not forget we are paying premium prices here in the UK. Yes the problems are solvable but how long is it going to take??
The bottom line is ball links are not new they at least should have been right in the first place.
Quotes may have been changed for my own amusement |
I'm sure i just thought all those words but they magically appeared on the screen!!
