thanks to Jimmy for unlocking this thread for me, i would like to air my views and use this to warn anyone else from trading with delanoble.
As above i received the B4 yesterday from belgium. However as soon as i opened the box i realised that this car had been used for more than ten battery charges. Aside from the scrapes and stuff which i suppose i could live with, but by the time i replace the missing parts and as it stands some parts are so badly damaged these need to be replaced before i can run it. This will mean before i can even use it its going to cost me more than a new one would of cost. Today ill list the parts damaged and missing and later ill post some pics so people can make their own minds up.
PARTS DAMAGED
The whole bottom of the car is really badly scraped, im not talking scratches these are real deep scrapes. These cover the whole underside inc the chassis, gearbox plate, motor guard & all four wishbones.
Anodising worn off the front spindles, "new shock caps", shock bodies, & motor plate.
Nuts on top of shockers chewed up & servo saver nut has been attatcked with mole grips or similar.
Supposed "new" mip driveshafts really badly worn.
Rear diff outdrives worn and one side has a piece missing where the driveshafts lie.
Rear diff balls worn or diff full of sand.
Front bumper split
The electrics have been held to the chassis with super glue and servo tape the glue is over the top of the tape so it cant be removed, at the same time super glue has ben spilt on the front wishbones.
PARTS MISSING
Steering bellcrank arm
Servo mounting posts
Box
Instructions
Screws, nuts etc missing from all over the kit.
I never did expect a new car but nor did i expect something like this. I never buy second hand and i only bought this as it was supposedly "mint". I have emailed delanobe with my view and he mailed me back to call me an ar$ehole which was nice. As he is unwilling to help i had no alternative but to open a paypal dispute.
As a warning to anyone try and avoid dealing with delanobe it simply isnt worth the hassle
