Knowing this area, he's probably really shady and you'll never see the kit

I bought a few ESCs from the eBay seller in Tampa. Definitely not shady. 2 day shipping to my door.

Roughly how long does it take to build this thing from start to finish?

Hah, waiting for scr8p's response.

Exact time is tough to nail down, but if you start it after dinner you can probably finish it that night, so 3-6 hours roughly.

I avoided them for years, but recently I have found that electric screwdrivers do save a tremendous amount of time on builds, and they really save my wrist from fatigue. Especially with the 8-32 Phillips screws. Just go slow so you don't heat the screw up and set the clutch loose so you don't strip the hole out (or stop before it does and tighten it by hand).

I was resisting posting the Darth Vader "Noooooooo!" gif.

Depends on my free time between conference calls. Or the how boring the conference calls are.

so are the people from europe and asia the only ones that are getting the kits at the moment? i saw another rc10 kit being delivered on yokomo's blog site.

I can understand Yokomo getting a kit early, but after hobby shops? That's weird.

I just have to come to grips with the fact that even though AE is an "USA" company it really isn't. And we're just last in line after everyone else.

Maybe in the back of some of our minds, that's what the real frustration is, that AE was the American company that went up against all the European and Japanese cars and won. Repeatedly. But it isn't that company anymore and it kind of makes you sad. And it comes out as a little angry sometimes.

Just got word, mine is processed and ready to be shipped to Denmark

Patience, shmacience. The first kit in Hong Kong didn't set me off much, but the repeated squeals of delight getting posted on here while those of us stateside who ordered hours after the announcement try to manage a smile, is getting old.

Associated, if you're reading this, you appear have tripped over your shoelaces yards from the finish line of successfully launching a great new product. As a product manager myself, I think I'm qualified to emphasize that the final release and distribution of your product is as important as the ideation.

I cancelled my preorder earlier this week. I was tired of waiting and figured that I already have "enough" RC10's.

I ordered mine from Tower right after the announcement, and cancelled it today, after ordering one from HK

Well said Adam!

It's a good thing my day job has been keeping me busy. However due to the "Shutdown" we do not have drill this weekend so a free weekend to build, oh wait, I have not received mine yet either!

The number of cancelled pre orders are adding up!, I cancelled mine a few day's ago myself.

I cancelled both of mine through tower.
