Haiklite MT09R GB replacement drivers

pooptoast · 2018-09-06T03:49:37.000Z

The thing that really burns me (pun intended) is that there is a better, fixed version that has been offered and delivered for a lower price than us early adopters could have had the light.

I want to like this light. I love the form factor, it could be great, but it isn’t. Haikelite promised to fix it but they haven’t.

BlueSwordM · 2018-09-06T12:37:31.000Z

Yep. It is really annoying.

However, I think there is something that we don’t know with Dale and Haikelite.

I do understand your concerns however.

If we could get together enough people, maybe we could have a run of custom drivers done. How many people would be interested? What are people willing to pay?

Remember Lexels offer a couple posts above?

If there was enough demand I could put together another batch of drivers as well.

I just generally don’t make less then 25-50 of a driver at a time.

Ahh jebus, I can’t believe I missed Lexel’s post… I’ll contact him. Otherwise TA, if you do another run, let me know, I’d definitely be interested in one.

Thanks

I responded to Dales email confirming my shipping address on June 6.

My “v2/TA” MT09R XHP35 driver arrived on August 29.

I haven’t installed that one yet.

Is this offer still active?

rizky_p · 2018-10-10T16:30:49.000Z

still havent received my driver, despite Dale saying mine is shipping.

peteybaby · 2018-10-10T16:37:19.000Z

Same here, two separate times. Been waiting about a year now for a properly working light.

Itsme · 2018-10-12T02:57:18.000Z

i’m in the same boat as the last 2 posters

Aviationtech · 2018-10-12T03:20:10.000Z

Same for me, I received a pm back in June the replacement driver had been shipped. Emailed Haikelite multiple times, but never received a response. PayPal protection ran out (which is my own fault for letting happen, I guess I’m too trusting sometimes). 4 months have passed and nothing ever showed up. I’ve given up at this point. It is very unfortunate Haikelite feels ok about taking people’s money for a product they rushed to market that had flaws and defects from the very beginning and appears to be ignoring requests to make it right for some of us. O well, I won’t ever be considering another light from them.

Wieselflinkpro · 2018-10-12T07:35:55.000Z

I`ve given up too.
I have ordered a 7,5A Buck-Driver from Lexel for my XHP35-Version.
This driver and the color (sand tan) will make this flashlight unique. And I think I will sell it without loosing money.
But first, I will have to wait for the driver from Lexel.

Nicolicous · 2018-10-12T07:46:05.000Z

Nothing for me too.

We all got screwed for trusting them.

mortuus · 2018-10-12T08:01:25.000Z

Yea avoid this brand, sadly they took the money and ran…

sienna · 2018-12-18T16:06:30.000Z

Finally received driver board on Dec. 17.

Wow, one year after start of the group buy!
Driver for XHP35 or XHP70?

I have ordered 7,5A Buck Driver from @Lexel for my XHP35HI

Aviationtech · 2018-12-18T20:13:58.000Z

I too am curious if it was actually shipped recently or had been lost all these months and actually just showed up. Mine never showed up and they never answered any messages or email either

sienna · 2018-12-18T21:02:02.000Z

Posted at Hong Kong on 2018-11-8, this is the third package Dale sent I never receive the first two.
