Integrated PDB for ZMR 250

[mrmurder1975]

Hopefully for those of you still waiting, it wont be too much longer. i think its reasonable to assume they are in the uk, being as a few of us here have had theirs. probably just caught up in the crimbo post.

Got my fingers crossed for you all that you get them before christmas

Worrying stuff in the rcgroups thread for these http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?p=30194605

Just as I';m contemplating ordering batch 3 boards (not even built the batch 2 yet)!

Guess that the plastic washer/stand off suggestion in the thread should work though.

[Allen Williams]

Still have got mine yet, yes as long as we use plastic washers think they will be fine.

[mrmurder1975]

anyone know what size plastic washers we need and where to source them from in the uk?
no sign of the copper showing through on mine yet but Id rather address this before it becomes a problem

[mrmurder1975]

if anyone has a batch one board with the stock buzzer which is extremely quiet and virtually useless, then it can be replaced with the one in the link below. This is the buzzer that comes with the B2 board and is considerably louder than its predecessor and is actually suitable for the purpose its intended for!

I';m still waiting from batch 2 had email when everybody else did --- any body else waiting still   

[barneyg]

Yep ... nearly 3 weeks now ... I';ve had an order that I made after that email delivered from China since then.  His rcgroups mailbox is full and he';s ignored my email to him.  He can';t control the mail system but he could have the courtesy to communicate with his customers.  Decidedly unimpressed to be honest.

[Roccodog]

I ordered a batch 3 board a few days ago and sent overcraft a pm via rcgroups to confirm he had received it, it took a few days but did get a reply. I get the impression demand is higher than expected.
No major rush though still waiting for the rest of the bits to turn up from China.  I guess I';ll just have to carry on watching fpv on YouTube for a bit longer

Still waiting for Batch 2 here as well.

Strange that the US have had some delivered and also a "distributor" over there have just received theirs ?

[malc]

phew started to think I was the only one

[quadfather]

I have just received an email from overcraft saying he sent me another two boards and apologised for the delay.  This time I got a tracking number, too.

Not sure what happened to the first shipment, if it was returned to him or what... 

[malc]

I';ve just got email too + tracking no --- not sure what going on --- xmas post   
I did send an email on Wednesday not sure if that helped

That';s exactly the same set that I ordered this afternoon!

Great minds and all that.

[bazzerh]

These do look quite good apart from the postage/comms/delamination issues. If I build another suped up mini I might think about getting one.

Just an idea about the delamination problems, how about some car paintwork protector adhesive film cut to cover the board around the post holes? It';s super hard wearing,  used a lot to protect the chassis on rc cars, can find sheets on ebay I believe. There';s also some carbon effect stuff but it';s not as tough

btw where are these used on the frame? In place of upper bottom deck I guess? Are they as strong as the kit frame?

Same email here too. What a pickle. I hope he hasnt been ripped off..

[barneyg]

Hmmm ... I';d PM';d him yesterday and got a response today with a similar content except it was "I';ll be posting them tomorrow as the post office is closed now"

I was feeling happier but now seeing your posts I';m left thinking WTF was the PO closed for my boards and not for you guys.

[quadfather]

Just had another response from overcraft.  He said he padded the PDBs with foam on the capacitor side.

Hopefully this will get more boards intact to us!

[Trev2971]

Got my 2 this morning (wipes brow) ... very nice they are too

I amazed they managed to make it through the Christmas post in one piece mind, as previously mentioned the padded bag is thin and the ';foam'; packing between them is so thin its adding little/no protection, although at the price it may have been impossible to pack them any other way

very happy with them and in time for a build :)

hope the rest of you who are still waiting get them damage free 

[Marty McFly]

great news Trev,hope mine arrive soon,Marty and the borrowed doggie, :scotland:

[Hands0n]
