If you have lathe capabilities it will be more cost effective to buy the Hex stock. But basic axle functionality is present with just the VersaChassis Hex shaft (snap ring groove, encoder hole, tapped shaft end).

Hope this helps,

Thanks, that helps a lot.

The motion components have had a January 15th ship date since the product announcement. We're doing all we can to ship them sooner and will get them our ASAP.

We want this stuff in your guys' hands as badly as you do. Thanks for your patience and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Best,

Thank you, Ricky. We know you guys are working hard to get the stuff out to us.

One question: we received a partial shipment, minus the frame components. Will I get a second shipping notification when the frame is shipped?

Thanks again!

Yes, you will receive another notification once the rest of the order ships.

Our entire order said it shipped, but then if I check tracking it says its 1.00 lbs.

This order is definitely more like 50 lbs. Why does UPS show 1.00? xD

Any idea on the current lead time for the 3 cim ball shifter? It says one week right now. Also will WCP be able to keep up with orders this year? The single speed 3 cim gearbox from them seems like a good WCD option to me, but I'm not sure when I'd be able to get it.

Have you released any information for adapting the 2 CIM ballshifter to the VersaChassis?

Yes we will be able to. Should be shipping out all our VEXpro items today/tomorrow and you should be seeing all WCP related items shipping out next week.

All of the components for the 3 CIM Ball shifter are in our assembly facility here in Greenville. They are currently being inspected and kitted. We are pushing to have these shipping this week.

We got started on the manufacturing of the WCP items a little later than we wanted. Both WCP and VEX are pretty particular about design details so we released the drawings to production later than we wanted. The dates on the VEXpro website for the WCP items are still our expected ship dates. Please note that this is an initial inventory problem only. Once the items arrive, WCP, The Robot Space, and VEX will have plenty of inventory for the entire 2014 season.

We are working on the application drawings for this and should have them by the weekend.

Thanks. That's great to hear.

Minor question on the .500 hex Versahubs... can they be press-fit into Vexpro wheels and other Versahubs designed to take bearings?

Yup, the hub diameter of the VersaHub is 1.125", same as the bearings.

Are the wcp gearboxes compatible with any encoder mounts?

You guys released a teaser to the 2014 drive in a day chassis on twitter earlier this week. Do you have an estimate on when it will be listed for sale?

The single speed gearboxes accept a s4 encoder on the back.

The dual speeds do not have any encoder mounts. What we prefer in a WCD config is to put the encoder on the wheel shaft. Every VersaShaft for the WCD comes with a 1/4 hole that allows encoder mounting.

I know manuals aren't released ATM. We are trying to have them done this weekend so teams have more information/how tos available to them.

Let me know if you questions.

+1

Definitely eager to see CAD, pricing, and estimated ship date on DiaD2014 as we make design decisions. We put together a 2013 DiaD in the off season, and we find it to be very nice.
