Hi all,
We are still working on finding a good motor supplier, nonetheless, at the same time, we have started developing our own motor.
Developing the motor from scratch is a truly complicated and expensive process, perhaps even more complicated than developing LIMBO.
We are doing it because we have no choice, we have been trying to avoid this process for more than 2 years, however, It looks like it’s the only way to deliver a good product.
Once we get the motor done, the rest should be easy, we have already manufactured the other components.
Here are some photos from the production line:
We understand your frustration about the delays, we suffer from it too, these are not good days for us as a company and on a personal level. We would greatly appreciate if you would avoid mean comments, it doesn't help, it’s in our best interest to deliver a great product as soon as possible.
We are still optimistic that we will find the right motor and deliver a great product.
For now, we don’t have a final shipping date, but we will keep updating you about the motor and shipping status.
Thanks for your understanding
The Fearless Team

Hi All,
We are having more delays and the best we can offer at this point is to try and explain our situation.
In order for the factory to commit to the quality of the product in mass production, we need to run a successful test batch of a few hundreds units, with a definitive maximum amount of defects (less than 1%).
We have done this process a few times already and each time we had too many defects to start mass production. We were sure that we will pass this time and finish production at the beginning of September. But unfortunately, we are still having too many defects.
The main reason is inconsistency with the motors, even though they are from the same supplier and should have the same spec. There are small differences that cause problems.
We are now back to the motor supplier to try and make the motors more identical. Then we’ll need to do another test batch before starting mass production.
We know that it’s disappointing, but we have only one chance to manufacture all LIMBO’s, and it must be perfect.
We will update again once we get the results from the latest motors inspection.

We are in a very advanced stage of the production but are still facing a few challenges, mainly in the QA (quality assurance) level. Making one perfect LIMBO it relatively easy, but making thousands when each one is perfect is our main challenge now. Here are some assembled LIMBOs on the QA table:
At the moment, it looks like production will end during September, please bear with us during this intense time. We are doing everything we can to make sure your LIMBO is perfect.
Backerkit Survey
We are ready to send the Backerkit survey, where you will be able to manage your pledge and provide your shipping address.
The survey will be sent this week to our Kickstarter backers, and next week we will send it to our Indiegogo backers.
Please fill your survey as soon as possible so we can better prepare our fulfillment partners and process.
Thanks, the Fearless Team

Dear backers,
It's time for another update. First, we would like to apologize again for the delay in delivery, and to report that we have reached a milestone that finally enables us to begin mass production.
LIMBO's prototypes worked great, but they used to wobble a bit, especially on very smooth surfaces.
You want LIMBO to spin for hours, but you also want LIMBO to spin smoothly.
Now with the new motor in place and additional improvements, LIMBO spins perfectly! The main improvement was achieved by adjusting the code of the new motor.
We are excited that we finally reached the precision we were after, as you can see in this video!
*this is a production version LIMBO with the new motor.
**GoPro failed after ~2.5 hours :( LIMBO didn't :)
Now we can finally start mass production, and the next step will be to collect your BackerKit Surveys.
Backerkit Survey
We are working on the survey and we'll release it in a couple of weeks. We will send an update dedicated to the survey (so no need to ask us yet if it has been sent). The data from the survey will allow us to manage the production, so please answer it as soon as you get it, thanks.
New and upgraded base design:
As part of the new base design, we have added a branded metal ring around the base. It looks stunning and although it costs slightly more to produce (that’s on us) we have decided it’s definitely worth it and we’re sure you will too.
We will soon receive new production samples and we’ll share the photos with you. Then we will also decide on the color options for the metal rings. For the bases body we will keep the 3 options we showed on the campaign: White, Black, and Translucent).
Estimated delivery date
We are working around the clock and aim to start shipping your LIMBOs by the end of August, we will keep you posted re our progress in the coming updates. Again, apologies for the delay, but we are getting there!
Thanks again for your support and patience,
Best, The Fearless Toys Team.
