If YOU don't think the clicking is bad, don't worry about it. I just don't want to get my maxx back and break something within a few tanks again.
Yes, I got them...ANY clicking is bad. I just wanted to know if you noticed any noises before I got it.

Barely used my ass. Now i'm out $230.
goodnews: A member of the UE forum has offered to send me his racer X kit and 8mm CVDs, free of charge untill I get my money refunded for the first racer x, and I can buy the stuff if I choose to after that. (which im going to do)... ill just say the total is quite a bit more than $230 though, but his racer x is mint, sooo shiney!

Sorry to hear about the bum deal...that blowz

Thats !@#$%^ up!!

Wait a minute you paid $230.00 USD for a kit from some guy, and what you show in those pics is what he sent you?!?!? Thats BS, I would hound that guy, bug him everyday about it.
somewhat urgent help needed - Tex - 10-20-2005
yep...he got ripped pretty hard on that deal...the seller is scum
somewhat urgent help needed - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 10-20-2005
Funny how you could get good detailed pictures but he couldn't???? hhmmmmm....
coughbullshitcough

he did post pictures, what he NEVER mentioned was that the pictures were takin right after he got the maxx, before he ever ran it. He "assured" me several times that the suspension kit was in like new condition over MSN several times.
http://www.unlimitedengineering.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13353 <--theres the thread on UE. I post pics of the broken arms in post #33, and it goes from there.
That jackoff tried to say I put the suspension kit on my maxx and had a run away, even though Obsessive R/C has had my maxx for the last week or so. :mad:

Rob, sorry about you getting ripped off. 99% of the guys on the UE board are pretty cool. Sorry you had to find the bad seed in the bunch. Hope everything works out and you get your money back.
somewhat urgent help needed - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 10-20-2005
You will want to get his real name, address, and all other info so you can send a police detective over there to rattle his cage. Since he mailed you the parts, it's mail fraud! You can also get the post office inspectors involved if he stiffs you "after he gets back from Australia".
somewhat urgent help needed - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 10-20-2005
Back in post #58 you clearly mention that Obsessive has your truck.
By the evening of 10/18 you and he were discussing the transmission clicking. NO WAY you were getting the racerX on that truck and wrecking it by today.
"I'm Insane" pretty much sums up that jerk.
He has tried to turn you into the bad guy, making you defend against his lies. He denies the garbage he sent you. Then he tells another lie to cover his ass. You can almost see some of the damage and wear on those parts in the photo in the Ziploc. Enlarge it, maybe the proof is there. But a clever liar will just claim you put them in the bag and that he shipped them in a padded Haliburton brief case!
Never do cash deals. Or if you do, make him trust you with the parts before you send the money. Then honesty will prevail.

I'm about to do that for the second time with a member of the UE board. From now on, thats going to be the only way I buy parts online.

Unless you use a Paypal type service. Then you have recourse in a bad deal.
Your nightmare is an incredible thread to read over there at UE. I hope it all turns out fine for you.

my grandparents are paranoid about computers/internet, so I don't and can't have paypal.

And I'm sure this little event has them wary of any transaction initiated via online communication.

The deal im getting right now is a 16mm Racer X, polished up, high impact front lower arms, 8mm steel cvds, and limiters, $320. Don't have to pay till I get my money back from SAiamNE.

That's an honest and trusting man. What if you NEVER get a refund from Saimne? You get the second kit for free? I would send him the difference now as a show of good faith. Just saying what I would do...not telling you what to do.

If we get into like 1 or 2 months without even hearing from SAiamNE (IFCC & RCMP will be contacted by then), depending on how $$$ is at the time, i'll either pay for it, or send it back to the guy, which he said was another option.

Now thats a cool guy...
