Status: offline 		heres the email i got from them yesterday evening.......


"""Ok the tech came to me today with your truck completed.

He tested the radio and was getting a messed up signal from it but said the tip of the antenna was missing so one he replaced it there was no more signal problems.

He fixed all parts and the only thing that needs payment for it 01007, 62008, and 02044

He fixed the servo that was damaged in the crash with on that he had so there wont be a charge for it. He also put o-rings in the drive cups and made sure they aren't able to come out.

Here is what the order total will be

01007 $4.99 (front arm plate)
62008 $4.99(brake pads and plates)
02044 $3.99 (spur gear)

Total $13.97
Discount 50% $6.99
Shipping $12.00
Order total $18.99"""""



BUT thats not all the parts that were cracked and broken...i know the front lower arm was cracked.(i stuck a tag on it and wrote a note so they wouldnt miss it).the dogbone in the front going from the body to the wheel was bent...and the fuel tank had a hole almost rubbed in it from the brake setup...and the engine? i couldnt make it do anything at all..
i emailed him back and told him all this so we will see..im not trying to be picky but i just want to make sure its all ready to go when i get it back......
the price to get it fixed is great..not complaining at all..just wondering what about the rest of it?...
and the antenna wasnt missing the top piece when i sent it...do you think that would actually cause it to lose control???? i think the servo went crazy and caused the crash..not the other way around... what do you think?
