    track wheel breaking off spring attachment axle

    in Leopard Chat

    Posted

    Hey dave

    I had a similar problem with just one of my wheels,the stop thing snapped so the wheel wouldn't stay in place.tried gluing the thing but no luck.so I just screwed a quite long screw into the the tank and put glue over it to keep it 100% secure.  It's not perfect and not sure if your talking about the bit I am but this worked for me and its kept the wheel secure for a few months now no issue.

    Should stay absolutely fine once I put tracks on too.but yea it was frustrating.

    If I have a problem once the track goes on and it snaps while moving about then will find another solution.

    Will post a pic here ,(might have to zoom)

    It’s an ongoing issue with Agora. I’ve given them until the end of the month to resolve it, so it wouldn’t be fair of me to go into details before then, apart from to say that it’s dragged on WAY too long.

    I’m not sure we should read too much into the free shipping offer from Fanhome. It could be as simple as they need to free up warehouse space, so are offering a small sweetener if people sub.

    Fair play,ok well I hope it all works out in the end and the experience hasn't left you put off for life.  But understandable if it has gone on for ages...

    As for fanhome...👇

    Opposite boat for me. It's becoming very likely that I won't be using Agora again once my current sub is complete 😞 

    And I'm not sure if anything should be read into this, but I received an email from Fanhome this morning offering me free shipping on my first two packages if I subscribe to the Robocop build.

    Hey Notsram,wow I'm surprised you said you won't be using agora again.how come?

    I got the same email from fanhome this morning about robocop....

    It seems they are offering deals if you sign up to their models but when you do you don't even know when and if your model parts will arrive due to this persistent delay with logistics in the company..I wouldn't sign up to anything else at the mo until they get their shit together...

    How's it going Phil,good to hear from you as always. I'm thinking what you said is true and they have took way too much on..its really frustrating as they have announced so much in the past 6 months with robocop,skyline,batmobile,e.t ect as well as letting people finish up the delorian and ecto who got left high and dry by Eaglemoss ect.

    Ita good you keep emailing them to keep the pressure on what's happening with our models.  Like you say its gone to issue 98 with no problem and now all of a sudden 99 and 100 with r2 is just not available to all the customers.its weird and I can't understand how that's possible when so many people are waiting on the last 2? Like how are they not available when we have been subscribed for the past 2 years?

    All these questions and no answers except they are doing there best to get the parts out ASAP.  Its taking ages though🤨.you have been waiting since Jan as well..😔

    I guess we just live in hope that they get dispatched soon...

    I'll keep monitoring on my side and update here if I hear anything....fingers crossed🤞

    Cheers

    Fanhome and now fulfilling their customers model packs after long wait

    Hey fellow agorians,prior to my previous topic post on fanhome being on a roll...well let's just say that was then..🤨

    Me and other model builders doing the r2d2 are still waiting on the final 2 issues needed to complete the build.some people since october 2023 and no date on when they will turn up...slightly worrying.

    On top of this I have subscribed to E.T and now this is on hold Due to "increased demand" and once again no idea when the 3rd pack will arrive.  Recieved first 2 packs in Jan and Feb no issue.

    I'm also seeing more of the models being put on hold,Nissan skyline and maybe the batmobile 66?

    Really frustrating and will definitely have to consider whether it's worth using them for any future models or just stick to  100% agora..

    Anyone in the same boat?

    I don't think anyone from Agora looks here any more.

    That take the money on time then ship days,weeks,months later. Never an explanation unless the customer inquires. I have a problem with my account and no one step up to get it fixed .

    Maybe they took on more than they can handle

     

    Hi Tom,I managed to get into my account finally but as the models I have done/doing were ordered BEFORE the new portal I have to sign into the older legacy portal to see my subscriptions.

    I believe if I sign up for a new model then I will be able to use the new portal but for now I still have to sign into the old portal to see my subscription.

    Hope you manage to get some update or help to see your subscriptions...🤔

    If you persist with the email they should help you and reset your password which in turn should get you into your account.

    Fanhome on a roll! E.T!!!!

    Just received a very disconcerting letter from Fanhomes, that already before I even started the Batmobile66 , that delays are likely now in the model as some of their containers are caught up in the Red Sea troubles.

    Maybe we should had expected that anyway 😕

     

    Damn that's a shame...I haven't recieved any email about this regarding the ET model and I've recieved 2 deliveries now..

    I've had dispatch notice that my 95-98 r2 is on its way so I'm hoping next month there will be no delay on the last 2 but if I hear anything I will message the thread.

    Hopefully batmobile won't be riddled with delivery issues and things will go smoothly for you and everyone subscribed.

    The system is not setup for more than one subscription at a time

    I don't get that..surely its capable of showing more than 1 subscription?I mean they just updated the portal for everyone..🤔

    Hopefully it will get sorted soon,I am still waiting for an email about it...

    Deagostini and other model suppliers just give us the blank canvas to work with.  Personally i could not stand looking at a raw underdeveloped finished model.  So I always apply my artistic licence.

    Amazing job Simon!

    Takes a lot of love and effort to get the falcon looking that good. Phenomenal!! Your r2 is awesome too.  Mine looks nowhere near as good as yours!I need more practice haha but I'm going to post my fully done r2  when it's done. I hope to make it unique in some way with the weathering🤔

    Nice one👍

    No problem I will take your advice on that one!!defo take my time.I just hope he turns out ok and everything works as it should 😅

    Ok no probs I'll order those batteries soon,like 30 quid or so...but official for the R2D2 so will bite the bullet.  Thanks for the heads up!

    Can't wait to compare models when done,be kool to see how yours turned out!

    Cheers 🍻

    Hey Phil, 

    Firstly thanks for the update, I have heard that issue 99 and 100 for other model makers for R2 has been delayed for a while 🙁.there is someone on the myr2d2build site in the comments who posted in January that he is waiting on 99 and 100 and literally have the excuse of the red sea issue is what's causing the delay of parts being shipped in time....

    I'm thinking you should get the parts soon especially since you had contact with a rep,it's just so frustrating that you are on the last 2 issues and there is a delay!!!😩

    I thought as much since I was waiting for your pics to come on to the agora forum. but now it's Feb I had a hunch that your still busy with building Prime or your taking extra time with the completion of r2.

    Luckily I haven't had any delay as of yet,I will be getting issues 95-98 this month and then hopefully the last 2 in march.  I still need batteries for him though..where did you get yours?

    I found a site ecoluxshopdirect.com who seem to have the batteries specifically for R2.I'm thinking maybe from there?

    Cheers 🍻
