They are refusing to ever sell me or anyone with the sir name Botwright ever again

Order it under a different name? Failing that ask a friend to order em for you?

Thats plan A, with any luck I can have one of my friends at Uni buy them and then I can give them the money straight away

Update: Might be on to something!

You might want to try the Holmes Hobbies BR-XL. They're currently listed as out of stock, but sending an email can't hurt.

I've been running dewalts in high gear with a 6s Lipo and haven't cooked them ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiHEhiSz ... ature=plcp )

The waterproofed versions are listed as in stock at Robot Marketplace ( http://robotcombat.com/products/0-HH-TMBRXL.html ) so that might work too.

Holmes Hobbies does sponsor me, but I wouldn't use them if they didn't work.

I can't believe they wouldn't sell you new ones?! Makes no sense!

Tempted to order some myself, just to see what happens after I said mine were faulty! But then again, when I sent two off for servicing, they only charged me for one so seems strange to be that weird to a customer

Are you sure they refused your order because it was you? I ordered some electronize relays a while back and received an email saying they weren't coming. Spoke to them and they had supply problems with them. May well be the same issue.

Think he's been able to order some through a friend so would seem they singled him out?!

Re: Alternative ESC's Needed ASAP!

I tried once myself and there was a problem with my card for some reason... but when I asked first time round what the issue was they did not respond. I then got my second uncle (yeah that far out the way) to get some, damaged those with my wiring mistake...etc...

Oh well, I wont be making the same mistake twice not after all this, but its shame as we never seem to make anything in this country any more, especially electronics so why they don't want the business no matter how they feel about who is using/buying the parts, is just odd.

Best stop this now, I did not intend to cause a mini upset

Re: Alternative ESC's Needed ASAP!

[Eventorizon]

Alternative ESC's (Nevermind)

Re: Alternative ESC's Needed ASAP!

It is wierd they're not selling you anymore ESC's. Companies usually label their products with instructions and notes which makes you accountable for any accidents if using them incorrectly etc, they should just sell to whoever wants to buy imo
