I am also new to this hobby just about 9 months it has took 8 months just to get my first boat in the water. this is not a hobby for quick gratification. But in the end putting that boat in the water and seeing it run was well worth the Wait. Now comes all the fun of making it run good. Heck that might take 3 or 4 more months.I know how you feel. I ordered boat ,hardware and prop, 600.00 plus on 01/05/09, my card was charged on 01/0809 and still have not received a thing. I know they make a quality product and have had good luck in the past, but bnow half the winter building season has past . IT is very frustrating!
Steve there are better riggers out there and faster I respect tylers opion there are many builders you go can too and get a competive boat It has always been that way at cmd and Iam sorry for any bad health problems they be having for I have been doing the same been boating a avery long time and this has always been the way things have been with them Steve you are local look around at other boats come to the March race at legg lake 7th and 8th and check out whats runningSteve,
I think most of use feel your frustration and have been in the same tight place a time or two. CMD in my opinion builds the finest riggers a racer can order, but the finest quality riggers take time especially a SGX. I have waited in excess of 1 year for one of their riggers and I am sure 99% of the other CMD owners will tell you it takes months to get one at your door. Its worth the wait!
Unfortunately they are down to a 2~3 person operation and they have been hit by hard economic times and ill health. Trust me the Browns are trying to do all they can to stay afloat right now and can not fill orders like they used to.
Nitro and gas riggers are the toughest discipline and only a handful of vendors still produce them. You must be patient. If you need something now, look in the for sale section or go ask local Camarillo Pond Rats. Otherwise, be prepared to wait for a new CMD rigger. You picked the longest lead time vendor in all of RC boating, this is just inexperience.
Sorry to vent on you, but CMD has been getting a lot of flack when its not deserved. I agree they have prematurely billed customers for parts, myself included but they always come through eventually.

Steve try giving them a call, remember your in Ca and they are in Florida so call at a good time 10:00 your time should work. I feel for you but at the same time have nothing but admiration for the entire Brown Family. They have had ups and downs,id order from them tomorrow and wait a month for such good parts from them. For them selling the quality of stuff at those prices we all can wait awhile.....Mike CMDI Ph: (386)208-1036Try getting a Crapshooter. :lol:
