I second that, Ralphbf. You said what others of us knew we should say but didn't.

Ok..maybe I'm being too harsh,I'll do my best to get hold of him.
I hope I am wrong because I'd like to think the best of everyone.
But I am a little upset about this because this has been going on for a long time.My check was cashed the end of March and this is July.

Ken,
What engine was your wheel for? I think that Darin may have to much on his plate.

These are just my thoughts, so take it for what it is. If you read back through the thread, two different r/c small engine manufactures ask him to send them samples. Darin may have linked up with them and possible more gasser companies. He may have more work then he can keep up with, but that still doesn't make it right to forget about his other commitments. If any of you are familiar with what happened at www.3DFoamy.com a few years back, the demand keep growing while the waiting list kept getting longer. I do have to say though, Levi (previous owner of 3DFoamy) made every effort to keep in touch with his customers, and reassure them there order would be coming. Not sure why Darin hasn't contacted any of you, or why he can't be contacted. I would be a little more than mad and harsh, if I was in some of your shoes.

Just My $0.02,
Omaha

Gryohead,
bn120 hasn't logged on RCU since June 10th. It has been over a month. I wanted one of those wheels.

Call the Police department where this guy lives. The Police will check it out...especially if more than one person got ripped. Maybe like Dave posted....He may not be with us anymore. Capt,n[]

Oldtimer,
He hasn't logged in to RCU for almost a month an a half. I couldn't find a street address in any of my searches. I always have reservations about indiviuals who use PO boxes to conduct small business.

You would think that he would have friends in the hobby and they would be upset about the bad name he is getting and tell him to get his act together. I have left him message after message to please do the right thing and give us our money back and return the motor but no answer. now his phone says that his mailbox is full. This thing could have been solved months ago by him saying he didn't have the money to send back or we would be getting our parts.But to just keep someones gas motor is very low in my book. And thats all you can think he is doing because he will not corospond with us.

Well i didn't get much, but did learn that people search web sites are a big rip off, all of them. Our boy Darin did move around a lot and sounds like he made another move. 5 addresses in Portland, Or-- 3 in Hopkinsville, Ky-- 2 in Gaston, Or-- 1 in Troutdale, or. I could not even get an obituary listing for the town he was in. I realy feel bad about not being able to help out on this--thats life. Well back to my engines
