Sounded like HiModel would be a few weeks getting them in.

Kershaw Designs shows them in stock. http://204.186.93.64/BrushlessMotors-Leopard.htm

Ok. Im just going to put a 4082 and a turnigy 180 in a seperate power module mount. That way each time the traxxas stuff fries I just unbolt it toss it in a box and send it to traxxas. Then bolt the new setup in and keep having fun. I'm also going too keep track of time and expenses each time I do it. Probably going to organize a class action lawsuit against them if they don’t do something to resolve this issue. There's enough people on the web to get it organized, and I have the resources unlike a lot of the kids getting burned.

I would love to get my money back on mine that I've never run

Hang tight. I'm sure you are not alone. For now they are going to keep replacing mine until they come out with a proper replacement for the poorly engineered crap it came with.

Leopards been restructuring, and getting new help and new reps. Its now worked out, so motors should be coming.

As far as the 1500 / 1600 debate goes. Thats another story. I was told something much different by my Leopard Rep. But time will tell on what is what.

Yeah well I call Traxxas today and the friendly rep told me they might charge me to replace the crap motor that over heated , i did all the cooling mods , bigger tubing lines drill out the rudder , first of all why in hell do I have to do that ? it should have work right out of the box as far i`m concern this boat was false advertisement fron the get go , the motor got Hot after a 4 mins run when it cool off it was turnning so it didn`t lock up is actually free wheeling I think it demagnatized anyways I sent the motor back will see what happens if they decide to charge me to replace the motor , well they can keep it , might have join that lawsuit , after all , i also have replace all the components so I can have fun

[spartanonfire]

I would raise holy hell with them if they told me that! Charge me because they built a POS?!?!?! Every supervisor at Traxxas would fear my calls before I would let them pull that BS on me. There would be a claim at the BBB filed so fast a Spartan motor and ESC wouldn't have time to go up in smoke. AGAIN

I can only say that they are making me some 1500's. When they come in, I will test a 1500 and 1600 when I get a chance to see, whats what.

I see they finally got around to deleting your thread over on the Traxxas forum.

Just like you said, they can find the time to monitor, censor, and delete threads and posts they don't like, but can't find the time to communicate on line with customers.

That's very interesting

[spartanonfire]

Yeah...well peter suddenly appeared and was like what thread...and was there traxxas bashing??? That's why I saved a copy of the thread. I responded to him in the other users thread and directly on his wall. We'll soon find out if they legitimately care about taking care of the customer or if they are trying to brush this all under the rug.

[Brushless55]

it's like they only respond when it is convenient to them...
