Wow froggy8 I still have that engine upstairs with the others still in a case .

im thinking about moving most of the RC’s ,cars and bits on as the lad is now into the lady’s and 1:1 cars 

just trying to find out how’s best to go about it on here first before maybe eBay or fb 

You should have sold me the engine back then 😄

If I were you I would try sell it on here first.

If I remember right, all the nitro engine in the case was new, I remember you have the losi 427 or 437 or something like that and the ansman 28 engine.

Been this price since the start of the sale, I already have 4 of these that I bought last year, Worked out about 25 quid each back then, So this is a very good price for a very good battery, Still trying to decide if I need to pick up a couple more to go with the 4 I have and the 14 2s I have, Don't think I need them, There just so cheap.

It was from a hobbyking email , I took advantage of the 3s lipo’s this time .

Strange. I checked again and then checked the global warehouse and still says out of stock lol. 

Just reminded me though on another hobbyking question if anyone can answer. Save me opening another lol. 

My last hobbyking order had stock from uk and eu warehouses. I paid each shipping option and got a text msg saying delivery today. 

I got the uk warehouse items. But not the eu items and have no text message for the eu order either. 

Will it just arrive when it arrives or mayb get the text when parcel force gets it in? 

Its the wheel balancer again already failed once chasing refund for a month. Hopfully this time it arrives. At the better price too lol. £8 ish was £13 last time i orderd i think. 

My kids got a 14 in 1 robot kit it sounds amazing and only  £4 its crazy. Once the eu items come ill order more stuff and 3 more robot kits for kids bday parties my eldest is invited too. £4 gifts lol. 

My eu order came yesterday , there was no tracking on it , just delivered by royal snail .

Still showing in stock for me, when ordering chaps be sure to check dimensions, those batteries are pretty big.

Damn good deal if they fit your trays though 

So is the Reaktor quad:

You can prob get a power supply for it for around £70 and that'll be 300w*4 for £200!

The 4*100w prophet is well over £200 itself!!

I've already ordered 4 of those lipo's (that I don't need)

Yes daz way to tempting , I’ve go to hide the bank card and forget the Paypal pass .

Makes me wish I still have my 8ight-T, what a bargain those are!

Desert truck/desert buggy I supppose.

It's a truggy!!

The reason I ask as myself and others have purchased it in the HK sale , so where would the forum thread be placed , but buggy truggy sounds good to me .

Probably closer to a ST though maybe. 4wd buggies and truggies have a CD...this is on a slipper?

Plop a thread in the nitro section and let the mods choose where to put it 

eBay just issued a refund to me.  

Their message wasn’t a long one though.

Good to see they are settling straight away .

Yes they didn’t even wait for me to escalate it to a claim.  

Thought something was a bit funny, Couple days later, Or next day, Can't remember, I got an Email says priced reduced to £4.78, They didn't stick around long.

 I never bought any, Another one of them things I would have bought cos it was cheap and not cos I needed it.

Can anyone spot the pattern?

• He created account 3 Feb 2015 with random name-  6hk9490

• he changes account name on same day , 3 Feb. 2015 to -  yuanyuan--ca

he does a bait and wait scam so accrues negative feedback.......

so he waits a year until all the negative feedback is gone from 1st b+w scam.......but before he logs out for a year

• he changes his eBay name to-  zoya-j - on the day he let's the account rest 3 June 2015

• a year passes, his negative feedback is gone, he's ready to scam again

• so he logs back on and immediately changes his eBay name to topshop_hk on 12 Aug 2016

I believe the account will of been genuine at some point during its two years as topshop HK.... But topshop HK closes late last year, so he buys the account back late last year......

he does a bait and wait scam again , and thus accrues negative feedback, the scam would be this one you've fallen victim to......

• so he needs to let the account rest again until all that negative feedback disappears.......... But before he let's it rest for a year or more....

• he changes his eBay name yesterday, 23,Feb 2018......

So you see, its scam, rinse, repeat..... With a bit of genuine usage thrown in to make it seem genuine by providing a genuine seller score....

It may well have been a genuine account at some point, my best guess would be when it was termed topshop HK for two years, but when that store closed it became a scam account again......

You could indeed get your items.........but My experience on eBay tells me you won't

EBay's response over the next week will give an indicator as to what's cracking......

In some respects the paypal buyer protection is causing us all to take a lot less care when purchasing things, certainly off ebay. At the end of the day, I don't care if it's a scam or not, I'll get my money back and paypal will lose a little bit from their huge profits. If we didn't have ebay/paypal, is there any way this artist of scams would get my cash, let alone card details. No sir! Ebay isn't exactly helping allowing sellers to carry on with the account history FIMS quoted. Not the right attitude I know but I'll put way more than what I paid for the esc on a single roulette spin.........

Going to wait until 8th March as that’s the deadline for reply from the seller for a reply to my last message. 

I'm probably going to leave 'till mid month. Suspect you may not be able to make a claim until estimated delivery date has passed. Seems to me it would be inequitable if you could.

Lack of proof of posting should be enough to start a claim. I’ve asked for that from the seller with no reply yet. 

Gutted mate  

Ye typical losi finishing there motor mount with a countersunk hole , but does look good when assembled 

Ok chap , thats not good news if they dont sell , thought they sold ok  ..

I am in w mids as well and after a roller if you do decide to sell

Ok sunny , ill have a word with the lad , see what he wants to do..

V3 already I thought the maxx escs was recent releases they knock them up quick. 

Started as a V3 for some reason, afaik there was no 1 or 2 avail.

Karma is good...

what you done now? lol

Im all good m8 , nothing to do with me lol .

Why do people get caught up in this 'is it fake'... It's all the same China stuff, why does it actually matter as long as it works? If it blows up first turn on you get your money back, if not then you'll be non the wiser and happy days!

Had a genuine XERun 150A ignite after a dozen packs. Keep the box and record the serial number on the ESC....I was asked for it for a warranty claim and I couldn't do much with a puddle of molten plastic

The fake usually means cheaper internals as we all know , but just trying to find one that hopefully doesn't go pop after the first use , like the hk one i had , but they replaced with a sc one and all is well , so its pot luck by the sounds of things , ty all for info ..

It's American, they have a very poor grasp of the English language lol

Nice reply both lol..

No matter how many times they say they're speaking/spelling English, the fact is, they're not XD

one without an engine/fuel tank hole in it.

Lol , ye thanks for the obvious m8 , but was trying to find out if anybody had used a certain body that fitted well ..

Thanks AJ , so if im running a 150amp esc , they will be ok ?

Yep they are well up to the job, I use XT60's in my Wraith with a RX8 220a esc Pro4 motor and 3s

Ok AJ thanks for the advice , i do have both , but thought ide check as new to this leccy side of the hobby..

Yes mate the losi one is

Ok thanks both for the answers , the losi does seem a little pricey for what there is , but hey its rc lol ..

Thanks for that , did look on hobbyking , must be going blind lol , all i found where on back order..

try the euro wearhouse if uk is all out

Ok will do ty..

Basic blue Turnigys.
