RE: GOT SCAMMED!!!!!
Really a horrible situation, my bros gotten burnt like that a few times and its not a good feeling. Unlike you though, he didn't have the reassurance of knowing his scammer was sitting in jail.
Good for you for keeping cool, I hope you get your money back some way plasma[sm=thumbup.gif]

RE: GOT SCAMMED!!!!!
sorry to hear that. I was also scammed on here. I traded my savage x for a ps3, but, instead him giving me the ps3 -he sent me a helix copter. I was mad and gave him a bad rating on here.

Hey, im sorry to hear that, STUPID SCAMMERS[:@]
You are not the only to get scammed buying a RC truck. I found a brand new Traxxas Revo 3.3 on ebay for $400aud, it looked all genuine and everything so i bought it. But it turns out that i was scammed, this is the email i got from the seller:
Dear damian.5,
Hi. I am a victim of a SCAM by my supplier. This product will not be delivered. This has been reported. Please contact Paypal for a refund. Paul.
- sts-forum
So i contacted PayPal, but they couldnt do it. So then i contacted the seller and gave my bank details to him and he sent my money back strait away.

Damn! I was going to buy that Revo too. It was some guys legit business that got hacked and spammed. I saw the Revo for sale but I knew it was sketchy as the price was $399 w/free P&H from Texas. Plus the name said Revo 33! I asked the guy to take some pictures of the box and he just said that he couldn't so I didn't buy it.

RE: GOT SCAMMED!!!!!
Thanks for the condolences guys,
Yes, If it sounds to good to be true it usually is..
I just don't even want a Flux now.
I have my 4.6 and that is enough for now.
The bad part is I am a 39 year old adult and not a kid..
I can imagine how a young teen would feel working all summer or whatever
to save enough money and then getting scammed..
Just isn't right!!!!
Hopefully he will run across "Bubba" in jail and be educated in proper manners
if you guy's know what I mean...
What goes around comes around, somtimes not as quickly as we would like
but at some point it does come around...

Scamming can happen unfortunately, But spreading the word, keeping people informed,educating people
is the way to help prevent it. Not cover it up!!!!
Last evening we received a post from a moderator stating he was pleased with the handleing of the situation so far.
Now with another moderator the opinion is completely different...

RE: GOT SCAMMED!!!!!
I thought I got hosed too... I have been wanting to try a NovaRossi N528XR in a Savage.... Do not ask me why, maybe because somebody who I do not care to publically call out claimed his was twisting off axles under acceleration. I always thought it to be bunk.... so I bought one. It was a bump only and I put it in my truggy. I do not think it has nearly as much power as my stock Picco 28.... but... the turbo Picco 28s are stronger than the pull start ones.
So what does that have to do with this thread? I bought a rotostart N528XR off of Ebay and it came today. I was sick when I saw the two ears ground off and the starter being held on by RTV and two screws. I was sharing my agony when it dawned on me that the block might be okay and just needs a new backing plate. I whipped out the trusty pocket knife and started cutting.I cannot tell you how happy I was to uncover the backing plate screws, I thought the bottom ones were gone, but when I got it scraped clean, there they are! Whew!!
It would have worked out anyway, I bought it for less than a piston and sleeve costs.... look for a Savage video soon. Since the crazy power claim, I am mounting it in my S25 and we will soon find out (totally bunk) if it can indeed twist off a Savage axle by nailing the throttle. Glen

RE: GOT SCAMMED!!!!!
In his ad he claimed he ground the lower corners to fit a LST2. The engine has a lot of compression, no deep scratches in the head, but the top fin is bent down. That does not bother me as the Savages are extremely rough on heads. The crank and rod seem to be really tight and the piston looks great as does the bottom of the button. Sleeve is nice and the sides of the piston do not have any deep scratches or gouges. I am sure it will run as good as it has ever been capable of running. I just have serious doubts that they are as strong as a Picco 28 and I am over 99% sure it is not going to twist off any axles. It does have a new Savage flywheel and shoes on it with an 18T bell.
