Like the title says, but this kid is also a member of this forum and has used the forum as such to gain information to better his project. Well, he posted some parts in the classified section, I paid for certain parts, and he has given me the run around about toothaches and all kind of little silly teenager crap that was totally irrelevant to our transaction. Fortunately, it wasn't a ton of money and I filed a claim against him via paypal, but this guy definitely needs to not be a part of a community where folks support each other by purchasing parts or sharing and/or offering advice that could potentially be helpful to them. Just be wary of this guy folks and if I had my way, he'd be permanently banned "Point Blank".

The guy you guys speak of is him. He's the one that's blowing motors and buying unnecessary components for whatever reason and not taking advice, but constantly asking for it. Didn't want to bring it here, but I have to share this experience with you guys and you can form your own opinion afterwards. But rest assured, he won't be doing business in this forum or NICO period. And if he is reading this thread somewhere, completely classless youngster :tisk: .

Update:Travis got in contact with me today and attempted to make good. When I receive the goods that I paid for, this thread will be deleted and all will be squashed.

Yea I know of him, actually he sold me a f***ed up stock maf awhile back but I never bothered saying anything to him, I just kept on using my Ka-e maf. I mean there's a chance it got messed up during shipping or that he didn't know it didn't work so I'm not gonna call foul play, I'll just leave it alone. I need a bigger one anyway ;)

Sad news, the guy flaked on sending me my parts. He wanted me to do him a favor without being able to at least make good on what I spent money with him on. He actually wanted me to give him a map for his particular application and I was like "cool" , but he had to send my parts and he failed to do that, so I'll make sure he gets banned because I can't stand flakers.

Thanks Gabby! It's no more Mr. nice Dee. Unfortunately, people such as this kid screws-up normality for other deserving people.
