My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Having a hard time finding anyone who has one-way sleeves in stock.
Does anyone know where in the USA they are available?

Do these blades make my tail look big?

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		This is the response I received today from Advantage Hobby after requesting an ETA on the sleeves.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your note. I am sorry but we do not have an ETA on the parts you need. My best estimate would be several weeks yet.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		With it taking this long to re-stock this one particular part you have to believe they are doing some sort of a re-design. Maybe heat treating or something of that nature? I stuffed mine into a tree hard enough to bend the mainshaft and feathering shaft, break a tooth on the main gear and destroy both mainshaft bearings. The sleeve still looks like new though. Guess I got lucky.

Let's hope they get them in stock soon or it could give them a bit of a black eye.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Ordered 2 sleeves and pulley sets today. Even the supply of them is getting a bit thin out there. Having to spend 16.00 on what should cost 4.00 to get 2 sleeves is sad. I know it is not much but it should not happen.
I hope it is only a re-design or logistics issue and not a company problem! A re-design does not answer why other items are on back order from the main importer of the Beam. I am a bit disappointed.
People are asking about a comparison between the Beam and the Furion or new Trex. I wonder how the parts supply is for them. Could be the same problems with them and I am expecting too much.

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		For sure the set you bought is not priced fairly, no matter where you pick it up.
For $7.99 you get one pulley, one sleeve, a m2x11 bolt and nut.

One pair of pulleys are $5.99

and a pair of sleeves is $3.99,
http://www.advantagehobby.com/produc...&cat=98&page=3


so one pulley and one sleeve is basically $5. They charge an extra $3 for a m2x11 bolt and nut!
That's nuts! What's up with that????

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Right!
I am sure other brands have some of the same, if not worse, issues but wow! A 3.00 2mm bolt and nut? What a deal!

My Posts This: Topic  Forum		Well considering that I can get three m2 bolts/nuts from my LHS for about $2, that really is a ripoff. Most of the time you don't even need a new bolt. I usually like to buy 6 or more of whatever breaks the most, so in this case I would be loosing $18 or more each time I ordered. If you ordered 10, you would be loosing $30, money that could be spent on blades or other things.
