    Track issue

    in Leopard Chat

    Posted

    @Diceman I have no idea. I also am kind of clueless as to how the top of the tank attaches to the bottom.

    Tracks are killing me. I was able to figure out how to get some of it connected, even so far as to get the tank charged and see the taillights dimly light up when turned on 😕

    Got pack 12 and you folks were right - new Springs!

    Also, a few stages are kind of funny - one of the, 'stages' is just a wall charger. And the figure isn't so bad looking in person as it looks online, though it is still a bit cheesy.

    Happy Building!

    Whoa - they have some nice stuff! And you are right, pretty pricey.

    I think the Agora model we are building is more of a display unit than something meant for actual R/C fun. Some of the other kits out there are less expensive, some can actually fire pellets yet none have the FPV that this model advertises.

    Hi Tom, if you want to be charged early for any pack, just contact us via the website/email as usual. We can then make sure Packs 11 and 12 are shipped. Thanks!

    I received a reply (I am in the same boat - paid in full) and they seemed to indicate they were not in stock and won't be in the short timeframe you are stating.

    I received an email this morning notifying me of the pending shipment of pack 10 of the Leopard. If the timing is typical, I should receive pack 10 around the 23rd of July. My thanks to the Agora team.

    Same for me, got mine this morning. Sure hope to have this thing done before it's too cold to go outside and play ;(

    Looks like most of Agora's models mostly come from overseas, and are sold by other companies (Like the Ferrari 312T4 fromCentauria, and the Porsche 917KH from iXO.)

    I haven't seen this tank on any of those sites though. Taigen's look 'close' but better quality (less plastic) and are far cheaper, and lack the FP camera. Does anyone know where this kit is sourced from?

     well...!! tomorrow is the end of the month... hoping the elusive Pak 9 is on its way...

    Mine says it will be here by June 13....... which is a few days short of Agora taking my final payment.

    Have other models been like this? I understand they are essentially an importer/distributor, and I really wanna do the Miura (why didn't they do the Countach???)

    I have already paid for packs 9 10 and 11. The payments are always taken on schedule even though the deliveries are months behind.

    Me too. But just one more payment and that baby's mine! 🙂

    Pack 9

    It had better not be May, seeing as Agora charged me for pack 9 three weeks ago...

    I fully appreciate we have to pay for stuff in advance, but this was barely a week after I'd received pack 8. There does seem to be a larger and larger gap each month between paying and actually receiving the pack.

    Same here. 

    On a good note, however, I finally have the damned tracks finished! 

    Turret Options and Drive Question

    in Leopard Chat

    Posted

    There are other guns available for other brands of tanks (Taigen?) that fire Airsoft pellets - has anyone thought about installing that on the Agora model instead of infrared? Could be a lot more fun 🙂

    Also, looking at the videos, the drive appears to be binary - on or off - instead of variable speed. Is that the case?

    Pack 8

    Posted

    I have now been charged for Pack 8 AND Pack 9, yet have received neither (though I did receive the corrected wheels.)

    Pack 9 doesn’t have instructions posted yet, I’ve noticed they do post them before a pack ships, but it is quite unethical of Agora to charge for two packs at this point and not ship or reply.

    Of course, we should probably contact support instead of whining on a forum they may not even monitor.

    I was charged on 2/11, still no email with tracking. I wish they wouldn't charge our cards until they have product in hand. 

    I did get the missing road wheels though.  Took a while. Was just the wheel, not the entire pack.

    Pack 6?

    Anyone else received they replacement wheels?

    Thanks


    I also have not. I think Pack 7 got dropped off yesterday, but nothing on the missing wheels.

    Pack 7 Ship date/Pack 8 Charge Date

    Posted

    Still haven't received Pack 7. I figured since the instructions were late getting posted that shipping delays got in the way. Is that true?

    Is Pack 8 going to be in the same situation? If so, are we going to be charged at the same time as usual for pack 8? I'm getting kinda weary, given broken eyelets/mismatched wheels so far about paying for two packs in advance.

    Thanks

    New Box, half eyelets are broken

    FWIW, Agora has now sent me two sets of the broken eyelet sets. BOTH of them have the exact same problem. 😕

    Doesn't matter how many you guys drop ship, if they aren't packaged right, it will be the same problem over and over. Guess mine will lack the eyelets which is fine, like the mirrors they are incorrect and oversized.

    I'd be suprised if they knew. 

    Just order another starter kit for your neighbor. For a few bucks plus shipping, that'll get you a few new sets of track 🙂 Hell that's not a bad idea now that I think about it.
