Go-to,

I say this - instead of looking at it like a trade or swap; call it charity. I feel that the only swap or trade needed is the guarantee of it being paid forward later. Maybe that view would be better suited for this topic. And the fact that they want you to use the marketplace somewhat sucks for this type of thread. I'd rather ask folks for some help in a forum full of like minded experienced hobbyists. You will get a reply here in a matter of hours not days.

My Feedback: (2)

That was part of my suggestion...I've RARELY found what I specifically needed in the market place (rabid animals wanting it all for free there too). The whole charity deal was the original intent of this whole thing and I've already been the recipient AND the giver on more than a few occasions. It's great, but it's just touchy I guess 'cause people can get pissed real fast.

The concept of trying to get what you need in a place you frequent is just good business to me...people know the product and always have extras here. hehehe

wow, i don't know what to think about this thread
i think paying it forward is a great idea
i think starting a charity thread is a bad idea
i'd rather give an rc to the kid down the street or parts to a guy at the track or the kid in the lhs that cannot afford parts
but that's just me
what i don't understand is a guy says bashing the mods is not the best way to keep the thread going - he even said the thread could be helpful
then people start calling him everything except the child of god
what's up with that???
seems kinda counter to the intent of the thread to me

thats probably whats going to happen but its still a great idea but thers also a downside too if it workes some people will be getting free parts that they dont need.

When I originally started this thread,my intentions were simple.Just to help someone out in a bad situation.
No one would get free parts they didnt need.
I would set up a few guys to review several things,and the reciever would have to prove he needed the stuff such as a picture.Then several other things would need to be considered too such as the persons location...how far a LHS is to them...how much the part costs ,and even then if anyone has 1 willing to part with.
Set up a thread where guys state what they need to get running again..then have it reviewed to see if its legit..maybe have a small form to fill out with, name, age, address, part, how it happened,how long you been down,how far to a LHS or whatever needs to be done.
It could end up a lot more complicated then intended.
BUT
I am still willing to take it on.
Lets see if this thread gets deleted..if they let it go,Ill start another and call it Savage Rescue Service.
Anyone interested in helping contribute to a good cause can PM me ,and Ill start taking names of guys willing to help.
Thanks

All i can suggest is that whoever starts a thread can decide if there is off topic stuff that it wasting space on the thread, then report the offending posts to the mods and have them removed then this thread will be worthwhile...(you can remove this post too if you want!! )

The mods even removed my post here without sending an email lol, oh well Anyways, I really dont feel like spending $4 plus $3 shipping on this part, but doesnt any1 by any chance have a throttle arm from an STS .21, .28, or .30 or maybe from any other .28 engine that uses a grub screw to tighten down? Thanks in advance. Tom.
