Again, people keep comparing to OEMs and that is just stupid to do so. Your talking about comparing Krash (a startup with low funding) vs a multi-million, if not billion dollar OEM company.
Irregardless of $$, you're talking about OEMs with 50+ years in the business. 50+ years of R&D, design, quality control improvements, process control improvements, standardized design rules, best practises, and 1000's upon 1000's of licorice ups that each company made, learnt from, and implemented prevent recurrence actions to prevent from reaching the customer. Now you're comparing that behemoth of an OEM to Krash. A small company, catering to a even smaller population of people who want this type of product.
Let's get something straight, no other OEM is going to do this. So we can either get on board with krash and try to help pave the way for an amazing product or we can sit here and bash the only chance this industry has to thrive and offer a product with this level of performance at the current price point.
Fyi, I own a Krash 50cal RTP and I know allll about the issues. Leaking midshaft due to poor adhesion, blew out two motor mounts, tuning issues, some loose bolts, and I'm sure more issues to arise. The difference is I knew what I was getting into, my expectations were to have to work on it because I didn't expect the quality of a $25,000 custom built ski out of a $12,000 ski from a new manufacturer. Yes it pisses me off when my ski goes down, but Krash has been amazing to deal with. Literally unparalleled customer service. To me, that more than offsets the frustrations from losing a few weeks of riding. To top it off, I'm helping move our sport in the right direction. I'm working with krash to help them improve the product and get to a position where they don't have these issues. Sure I don't know the longevity of the engine or pump or other components, but if Krash's customer service continues to impress me, as it always does, I have no worries I will have a great product in the end.
There's more than one viewpoint; everyone has a different level of expectation based the $ they spend. Overall, yes there's issues, yes people have sold some, but there are just as many people out there with zero issues and loving every minute on their Krash skis.
Ultimately, Im defeding Krash because I love my RTP, regardless of the issues, but make your own decision based on the info in this thread, and don't let anyone here sway you one way or another.
