hah, so what's the lead time on a kit? curious the difference.

TYeah ours are older so I understand entirely but again we’re here for ya if you wait or if you build it’s all the same team here
TI posted my review in the review section when it happened so you can count the days (time stamped)
TOne issue is I’m in the USA so shipping for some folks won’t be as quick as it was for me OR maybe if you’re in the EU like Walmis it might be faster.
TMy VPforce kit shipped and arrived at my door in like some stupid number of days… like two
TSo I even write in my review that’s probably not the average but hey it was the reality for me
JIm in the US as well
TNice I’m east coast we live outside DC so the hub is close is probably why we get it fast but for sure it’s not a long wait.
TThe kits don’t have a wait time it’s basically if they are in stock or not
JGotcha, im on the other side haha
ORichmond, here.
TWalmis is super approachable so you can always bug him
TWe stay there when we take the kids to Kings dominion
OI also need to finish the skeleton of my sim rig. Time to upgrade from pallet wood!
BMine took a week.
But my rhino got shipped December 22, i think
So there was like 4 full holdiay days bettween that and I got my unit friday before the new years weekend.

TWe live in Nova I guess you’d say but more down 66 so more woodsy
OI got ya. Love that area.
JOK so ignorance on my part, what comes in the kit? Is it literally the entire thing but just has to be put together?
TYeah I call it the sweet spot honestly.
It’s close enough to the city we can pack the kids up for the zoo or hit the Baltimore aquarium.
It’s also close enough to WVA we can go crazy hikes or camping and take the kids to the 4H center (we just got back from a 4H Cloverbud camp lol)

BMotors and controller, rest need to be sourced, but i think someone else here sell a kit of 3d printed parts and bits.
TSo it’s perfect… just enough city for real life and just enough yard for a couple dogs
OBaltimore, ey. I'll have to update my will.
HWorked right after completion. Hard to mess something up tbh. The instructions are quite clear.
JAh ya, see this sounds painful haha... I'd rather just pay for the thing pre-built. Call me crazy but I'm having a hard time just finding time to review this stuff, yet alone make one.
HThe kit from @SR-FWinger[73]_David is complete. The only(!) thing missing is the motors and logic board which come as a kit from walmis, You don‘t need to source anything but the PSU
BYesh I just didn't have a space to do it, and my 3d printer is 'meh' at best so I just chilled in the cue.
Only people who cue better than us must be the brits so not an issue

OI'm with you! I am interested in commercial but none seems good enough yet.
HIt really isn’t much harder than LEGO.
OI'm not building any LEGO sets either! 
TYeah bro we’re here for ya no matter what it’s all the same team here if your red or green we all fly team Rhino
JI dont even do legos
JLOL
HThe Rhino, DIY or pre-build is easily en par with commercial options (well, apart from the surface finish perhaps). What sets it apart is the software and support!
BOnce you have all the parts yeah, but also having to rub 3 years of dust off a printer, re tune it for two new materials, hunt for bearings, nuts and parts between mouser and alibaba.. I just waited.
Now though, if I could get a kitbash and motor kit, I definitely would have gone that way

TAlso nobody here should be against the new FFB.
We know the they ain’t got Walmis but I myself love and want to see bottom level FFB
Like.. I really want a surprise announcement from Microsoft for the MSFFB3
A 250 stick with tiny but night motors… something for the entry level again and something to wake up the devs and push FFB implementation to the front line again (just like it’s 1998 again)

HPrinting the parts yourself and sourcing all the hardware is definitely the critical part. That’s where the DIY-kit comes in handy.
TWe need a cheap option for the masses… sure the Rhink and others will be the big dogs but I want to see the small dogs fly again and I’m no hater to see it
JIs there a link to the DIY kit? (not the motors and board)
Jim curious to see how much cheaper it would be
T@SR-FWinger[73]_David is the guy with the kits a lot of folks are building and they seem like epic kits for sure it includes everything you need (so far as I’m aware they are complete kits)
Cheaper? No not really
Faster… Hell yeah by a lot

TCheaper is 3D print yourself 
TCheapest*
BI was literally making whopping noises when I saw the Moza announcement on reddit, everyone should have the glory of FFB.
I am of course critical and questioning to imprecise technical specs in marketing lingo.

Jmakes sense, i dont have a printer tho, and not really into investing into one.
TI mean if the main Rhino is like $850
The kit is like $400 and then the VPforce kit is like $350 so you save some but not enough imho to say you really “saved”

BCheaper than buying a bambulabs.
BAnd everything else.
HAnd you need 30-50 bucks for a proper PSU
TI tagged him so he’ll come and say what’s what because it’s legit and a lot faster for sure but how much cheaper is negligible at these numbers
JYou should be critical, all these people pre-ordering due to FOMO are nuts (not even speaking from having used it... literally my thoughts before i got it). We live in a weird world where everyone trusts the first review they see, even if it doesn't actually explain anything and the reviewer is completely ignorant to what they are reviewing... FOMO makes people open their wallets and companies prey on it now, especially in gaming
