Noj Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Neither a borrower nor a lender be. An old adage but still true; saying that, I walked out of the park with a trophy flux in need of serious attention one afternoon...we had swapped numbers however and I showed the lad proof of address....and we still meet up and bash. Re posting batteries, don't use RM, Hermes is fine, mark as small electrical. And no, Hobbyking don't do nimhs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 I got my stuff back plus a broken jato to fix ive already sorted the jato but my things are staying here now lol. Mayb I jumped the gun but did try to call him afew times over the week to get put through to answer phone. Hopefully I did jump to the wrong conclusion ill treat it as that. Hopefully still have a bash buddy. Thank you to guys who offerd help. On another note the jato is very tidy looks like new he paid 70 for it. I think the carb was just blocked and needed setting up mechanically and elecs he wants some nice wheels for it but im unsure which size he'll need 2.2 or 2.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AX10 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'm pleased it's all worked out. I would have jumped the gun to with no phone contact. I can vouch for you being a Diamond Geezer, cos you helped me out without knowing me. Thanks, just be careful with people, some aren't out of the trees yet!
