I heard back from Fabian. It is going to powder next week, takes 3 weeks to turn the top, 1-2 weeks for assembly and QC. We are scheduling the install for the last week in Feb.
I explained some of the conversation and concerns going back and forth in this thread. He responded:
āI can assure...
Iām talking about the ADV Fiberglass hardtop⦠I never mentioned Archetype. My point about being a vendor/sponsor was so they could market and represent themselves on threads like this. Regardless, that point really isnāt relevant to their extended R&D and current slip in production deliverable...
So the difference is several of you signed up during the prototype and preorder phase, knowing the risk, potential delays and choosing to take that risk. I waited until the prototyping was done and production was underway, with feasible delivery times.
I watched from the start and was one of...
Still no update from Fabian or status change emails. I reached out to Fabian again⦠Iāve been patient, but weāre a couple months past the max delivery estimate he gave me in July.
Meanwhile Iām getting notices that Turn has stock ready to shipā¦
Mickey Tās Baja Boss A/Tā¦Agree 1000%ā¦havenāt failed me yet and have done better than KO/K02s, Toyoās OC AT2/AT3 on/off road and rival GY and BFG MTās offroad. They perform excellent in wet conditions and on road. They are heavy and can be a challenge to balance, though!
I installed the Ronin and the quality seems a bit better. I donāt like needing another part to hang on to in order to drain the oil, but itās easy enough to just stick in the glovebox. This design seems like it might work better to defend against leaks. No leaks since install, but I havenāt...
Mine was supposed to be updated with both the firmware and tune, even after I specifically asked it to be, but it wasnāt. So donāt count on it, but Fraser did apologize for the miss! š Just like most motherboards and PCs never have the latest firmware or driversā¦Your issue sounds a lot like...
Did you update the firmware? My sub sounded like it was barely getting any juice until I flashed the firmware. It also had an update to the bass control as well, from what I recall. Sounds amazing now and nearly hits like a 12ā.
Thereās a couple threads on similar setups, one also notes mine. Make sure you flash the latest firmware, that made a night and day difference. Fraser has a Hertz tune you can also load, which helps a lot. I didnāt tune much more after I loaded both and my setup blows away the B&O, not even...
Are you still noise free? Iāve got a WT with the Hoss 3.0/Raptor rack. Iāve recently started hearing this noise when turning left or right. Iām going to remove the SRQ skid and ensure thatās not it. Hopefully itās not the rackā¦
Iāve had 2 more emails with an update of still in āWelding and Blendingā since my last update, so not much progress. I sent an email to Fabian on Tuesday and got his reply yesterday :
āHey Chris,
Doing our best to keep things moving along with our minimal staff. You should be moving to...
I asked yesterday if he expects mine to be ready by the end of the month, and he responded: āNo I am notāā¦
So then I asked when, since in Sept he said 6-8 weeks, and since itās being cut/bent per his reply Thurs⦠Awaiting response.
Thanks Fraser, and that response is exactly why yāall are awesome and so is your product. The fact that you can make these adjustments and tailor to the customer is awesome.
I know one of the release notes mentioned a start-up adjustment, but itās good youāre further tuning for this edge...
