John_RCModelz Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Not at all. And passive agressive tone? How did that come from my comment. If this is how my comments come over maybe I should stick with face to face customer service rather than commenting with text as this is not the type of person that I am. But then this will bring you comment back to interpretating a comment 2 ways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCbutcher Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Relax lol don't want to pay a deposit just wait till its in stock and order. Does mmr allow you to get refunded on the kraken ect. If it's to stop people buying afew to just sell on at a higher price good. Altho I would like to see some competition on this model. Why hasn't none of the bigger stores orderd any? I'm sure fid would jump at the chance if wheelspin modelsport ect wanted them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post .AJ. Posted April 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2016 If I wanted my Kraken deposit back I would get it, that's why I used my CC, but I'm not stupid enough to spend my money at MMR 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoss Posted April 9, 2016 Author Share Posted April 9, 2016 WOW This really is getting beyond silly now People asked for this option So the shop put it up there for them And some from NWRCC have already placed their deposit's ready to secure theirs when they arrive I'm more than sure this was NOT done to be harsh on ANYONE And having shopped with RCMZ for many years I know they'll go above & Beyond to help you with Anything you are likely to require I think this has been done to give people the ability to secure the model they would like And not miss out I'm sure any legal wording has been put in as par of the course More to stop someone placing an order for item's with little intention to finalize the purchase but to mess about down the line Which means someone that would actually REALLY like one May miss out or get messed about So if anything has been taken as an offence I'm more than sure that certainly wasn't intended by them And if ANYONE is unsure Just pop into the shop, or give them a ring and speak to them in Person That's got to be much better than reading something on a forum that might be slightly missunderstood 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rover Man Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I dont think the deposit is the issue, Its the "None refundable" part. Makes no difference to the seller if a buyer chooses to back out the seller just sells it on to someone else. I certainly wouldn't pay a none refundable deposit unless it was for a one off special order that the seller wouldn't be able to sell on. Where as in this instance its a generic RC car that i would think will just be a normal stock item. In my Business (Double glazing) if i asked for none returnable deposits i wouldn't have any customers plus i have to have insurance to collect deposits anyway But as already been said John as a good name with great shop feedback so there really should be no need for the none returnable part at all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post John_RCModelz Posted April 9, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2016 If it does offend/concerns that much I will remove it Monday. Bit as said I didn't think some wording would do so much. But my thoughts against many others I'm out numbered so I don't mine taking it off. Ps ( and before its said I'm not anoyed or upset and I don't mean to come across anyway but helpful and understanding.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think Anyone could say Fairer than that And doing that to help As John's said, I don't think it was EVER do to be offensive :-) Merely protect the buyer & seller from FAKE purchases But I'm sure this will please Anyone that had Any worry that there was anything untoward in it being done at all And people that want to buy them Or secure them Can do so without any neigh Sayers planting any seeds of doubt Anyone that does get one Will be EXTREMELY Happy with their truck I'm sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carpmart Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 John - to be clear, I'm more than happy paying a deposit, I've paid one to Jason (Abbots) for a Kraken. I would have no issue paying you a deposit either, trusted store and I'm sure decent honest people running it (unlike MMR) and I have no problem in this respect whatsoever. My point was as Rover Man suggests, purely the whole concept of a non refundable deposit.. This is unreasonable and as I've suggested previously, not a friendly way to do business....

No one doubts anything to do with the overall integrity of the shop or the staff. Your defending things which don't need defending here.

I do believe that it has now all ready been changed so we can say goodbye to the non refundable, and the word shall not be used no more. And thankyou all for showing me the errors of my way. ( naughty john). And Carpmart I expect your deposit by first light Monday ;-) Edited April 9, 2016 by John_RCModelz I can't spell first 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJJ Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Nice review and write up, appreciate a closer look at this platform, Thankyou Intresting times in the 5th scale market as new platforms emerge and more variety is great. The losi 5t has proven itself to be the King as racing those for practice sessions, then qualifying sessions, then 30min finals in the brca is a good test as anything else for reliability and performance more than bashing imo, plus let's not forget the big bore motors 46cc plus that can be shoe horned in, albeit on heavily upgraded 5ive's usually. I so want something 5th scale like this but am personally going to wait to see what transpires as more people review them and reviews of the vekta come in, then decision time, will be blue though lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new 5th scale losi mt is more of a dbxl thought process than the dragon hammer imo Subscribed for updates matey, and thanks for taking time out to review this, I know taking pics and reviewing and doing a thread on a forum is a time consuming process. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I confess to having quite a serious collection of new in box vintage 4wd buggies, the Yokomo YZ10 series is my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
