1/16 Trucks

Yep... time to dial 911 because everything went kerblewie.
#127
Let's hope the ebay guy don't kerblewie on me. That said it shipped the day I bought it but the earliest projected delivery date is tomorrow. I wonder if they have a 911 for RC Tankers. My KT blew up! Send tranny, STAT!!
I'm sure we'll get a couple eventually, and I'm really looking forward to the 6x6. From the 4x4 I really want to do an ambulance. I should put an IR emitter behind the grill so it can repair tanks. The Tank Doc.

It sounded like they wanted me to agree to the shipping, then they'd issue a refund and I'd reorder with no free shipping option so I'd pay either $17 or $31, in addition to the $40something for the truck.
At least I was smart enough to pay with a credit card through paypal, so I have protection from both paypal and my visa card. It's a hassle and takes a month or two, but worst case scenario is that it will take a couple months to get the charge removed.

One ebay seller went down in price.
Gearbest went way up.
My order from Gearbest last week still says processing. lol
All this up and down for a $30.00 toy.
It is like the stock market.

I checked out the legitimacy of Gearbest and they passed all my questions BUT, this raising of the price strongly smells like a similarity to the old bait and switch trick retailers used. They wait and see how large a run a certain item receives and then determines what they will honor.
Their shipping actually means it will take a certain time period to have the item delivered but not how long it takes to get it out the door and in their case I bet they drop ship so the promise of 4 to 5 days is BS.

You are right... I just checked and it's 46 BUT, this morning I too checked after reading and it was almost 90 dollars so it WAS much higher than it is now.
Maybe, human error and they didn't meant to make the increase that much. It happens.

Ebay
E-Bay seller Toucan Hobby has them for $49.90 with FREE shipping, with delivery 10/10 to 10/25.I think all these sellers had them out long before they would have them in stock, that is why the price flex, just my observation.

I haven't gotten shipping confirmation on either of mine from Banggood or GearBest. I'll give them til the first week of October before I start making too much noise.
#142
For what it's worth, I've done business several times with Toucan hobby and never had any trouble.

Truck
Just to let you know Sky Hawk they ship these by ship, America LineIB, might be 2-3 weeks before we see them after they leave GearBest.
#146
Well, one of my trucks just showed up. Must be from the eBay dude as no word from Gear Best.
#147
My truck from Bang Good got dropped off this afternoon. I think it got dropped off of a 10 story building somewhere along the line because the box was crushed pretty good and I thought I had a box of parts to assemble. The display box was not sent in a shipping box and only had a thin sheet of sponge material around it inside the plastic shipping bag. That truck is a tough little devil because it was not damaged as far as I can tell. I will charge it up and let you guys know how it runs, maybe tomorrow.
The Army green one I ordered from usmarc on ebay about a week before Bang Good hasn't been delivered yet and I have not had any update on that delivery date. Is usmarc in Romania, or am I mistaken about that?

I charged the battery and drove it around on the living room carpet and in my yard. Everything works ok and after a few minutes I found out the truck kinda has two speeds, no speed and full speed. The throttle is very touchy but I could get it to run at speeds between stopped and full blast with very careful pulls on the trigger. The steering has the same turning situation. Slight turns can be performed with the same kind of care with the steering Knob. There were two spare suspension springs taped to the box, I'm wondering if they can be put on to stiffen the suspension. Why didn't they send four? Anyhow, I'm going to see if this critter can pull the Bruder trailer I hacked up ---- at least on flat ground. It might need some weight in the truck bed for traction.
