[jimmiprice]

Delanobe, please reply to my pm's. I have bought and paid for this item, the very least you could do is reply to my pm's or even better actually send the item i have been good enough to pay for
Im not happy.....

[delanobe]

First of all I accepted the money only wednesday at 23.58h.

I'm not online every day so you should shill a bit.

I pm'd you today at 13h for providing you all the information you needed.

Best regards

[jimmiprice]

Still nothing received, i had to write a post on here to get a reply to a pm last time so here goes again.
It has now been a week since i payed for this and i still havent received it. Infact its hardly surprising i havent received it as im guessing it has yet to be sent. If it had gone you would of replied to my pm's asking for the tracking information. The fact you havent replied makes it look to me that it hasnt been sent. This is without the fact that you neglected to say you arent in the uk and the car is coming from europe which would of been nice to know as im guessing it will take a week to arrive even after you bother to send.
If you could just refund the payment to my pp address that would be great, ill simply buy a new car from someone in the uk. This will be easier for me and better than a pp dispute.
Jimmi...........

Still no reply to pm's / emails and still nothing received. Only a matter of hours before i can open a paypal dispute.
What a shame...

Wonders never cease, B4 arrived today !!
However it has many parts missing and has clearly done an awful lot more than two race days as delanobe said above. Infact by the looks of it i think it has done an entire season of racing on the moon. The bottom of the chassis looks like someone has been hitting it with a hammer and chisel.
I never ever buy anything secondhand as a rule, im so pleased i didnt buy a new one
Delanobe,you have an email to read.

Just out of curiosity, what parts were missing??

Unfortunatley the underside of a b4 do mark quite easily, from the pics, the car does look mint.

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

I feel sorry for you mate you dont need all this its not worth it

[racingdwarf]

The car in the original photos looks great & clean.(Top of shocks ball joints,dust covers etc) I can understand how you feel, Do you think the car in the photos is not the one you recived? just the bodyshell on a better car for the photos?

I had a bad deal with a chap not so long ago on a discharger, I know how you feel

I think members should HAVE to show were they are in the world on oOple in the for sale section.

[jimmiprice]

I cant really work out it its the car in the pictures, i am infact guessing it is but the fotos have just been cunningly taken. I have taken a couple of fotos of the car and noticed even more things missing today. for instance there are no front wheel bearings.
Ill post the pictures up of the car soon.
When i come to sell stuff i always make sure its really nice and that people get a good deal however it seems this guy does none of that.
Ive just ordered a brand new B4 this morning, i hope the PP dispute comes to something otherwise ill either hacksaw this B4 in half or put it in the bin.

Sorry mate, ill get much more satisfaction from throwing it in the bin than from wrapping it up and posting it out to someone for free !!
Paypal are not interested in a claim and have closed the dispute saying they are only interested in claims for non receipt. Which is utter bollox and not fair.
I need to either buy the parts that are missing from the kit or just forget about it and throw it away. Im so annoyed.

I was interested in the car when I first saw it but thought it a bit strange that a 'mint' car had no photos with the body off or of the underside. I guess now we know why.
To save something from this, why not strip the car down and salvage the usable parts and keep them as spares for the new car when it arrives. The diff can be fixed with a rebuild kit, shocks and shafts can be overhauled and repaired, screws are useful, shock towers, rear wishbones etc. Try to make the best of it rather than have a total loss. I feel for you though dude, it is a sh###y trick to pull on anyone, let alone a fellow forum member.
