    True. But amazing they’d have to. Read the first post. Over the top. Short on delivery.

    They need a PR man, and handing it off to some YouTuber ain’t it.

    Don't forget the Motor trend guys. Don't get me wrong I like Fred and Dave as well as Nate but damn that's like MC giving the big F-you to those that were on board with this.

    Yeah, that gets to me the most. Someone paid full price for a kit 4 months ago, but they have "production delays" preventing their kit from shipping, but other people are receiving theirs.

    FIFY. I bet a few paid some over a yr ago to be in on the first production run and have yet to see anything but a bunch more hype and let downs with lies about certain parts

    Who is BigMike? It's not Marlin. It's it the younger guy that does the YouTube videos?

    I think there might be a couple of possible outcomes:
    • MC is solvent and all is well - just slow
    • MC tanks - someone else picks up the patient and makes the RCLT
    If MC needs cash, they might consider licensing the RCLT to someone else to make. That's a win-win. They get some bucks for being innovative and we all get someone who is able to produce products. It might work?

    Cheers!

    Went to the Toyota dealer today to buy more atrac fluid and e locker powder. I was checking out a 200 series and saw that they all had mar racks installed. I think that’s how they’re making money now.

    Latest update from MC says they are shipping 6 kits this week and 6 more next week. Doesn't specify if they have already shipped any paid customer kits, but previous info said they had, so it's still a bit confusing. If there are 20 kits in the first batch, half will go out by next week. Kinda leaves the kids at the back of the pack wondering when they will get theirs.

    I hope you all get them and they’re the coolest thing ever. Pics please. Good angles and action shots preferred.

    Marlins had funds at this point just long enough to make disputing the charge and winning hard. 6 months, who knows how many missed deadlines and people are still hopefully on a kit that was supposed to release 2 years ago... you guys have way more trust than I do.
