rccarman,
Did you purchase a Mini-T yet? Photos, but please, no more ebay photos of other peoples rides.

t-maxx homie 369,
It probably depends on what you sister wants and what she wants to do with it. The Mini-Giant is made more for crawling and the Mini-T is simply a smaller version of a stadium truck. Torque v. Speed.

The mini-t will definatly go faster. Lots of hop-ups for it too, and more to come.

rccarman,

Is it your Mini-T or someone else's Mini-T? Could it be like that other R/C you claimed that you owned, but then after wards someone wrote that it was still up on auction? Or the Mini-T issue before that? Or the Losi rep claim? Or the blaming it on your brother defense?

Did you ever purchase a camera? If so, why don't you upload some photos?

If anyone else reads this post, I hope that they also go back and read some of your prior posts and claims before they even consider purchasing an R/C from you and if they don't, I guess they get what they deserve. And if you finally did purchase your own Mini-T, why are you selling it and what is the eBay url link?

Edit: Rccarman, perhaps you should go back and answer the other member's question.

i am getting this truck off a guy but it is going to be all crome
Why don't try winning the auction first? I'm looking the auction and there's still 12 hours left. And the stock bumpers should be replaced, they are not tough enough. Since when is plastic tougher than metal?![&:]

The link to the item rccarman is taking about is
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/ebayISAPI.dll...tem=5902682254
Change the **** to e ba y.com without the spaces

It just so happen I was in the market for a mini-t and saw that item on ebay
I sent that seller an email through ebay
We’ll see what reply I get
Interesting that the picture in the auction is 2 or 4 months old, hard to tell from the screwy date stamp

rccarman
Tigger N. Bennie has done a good job pointing out your contradictory posts. He seams to be on a vendetta to point out your inaccuracies, and after doing a little research I have my doubts about you too.
All you have to do is post a picture with all the stuff in that auction and turn the silver body up side down. That will prove you are in possession of all those items
This is you chance to establish some creditability
I suggest you hunt down a digital camera

definatly get a mini giant, i have both and i lost intrest in my mini-t after a week or two-but ive been using my mini giant since i bought it about a month ar two ago[8D] the main reason is the radio and the servo. the radio on the mini giant is MUCH better than the stock radio on the mini-t. oh ya the servo actually works to

Recently, it appears someone else has doubts as well and has also asked for photos.

yeah, it's quite justified. he keeps backing away from photos. he didn't say anything when someone suggested the wallgreens or wal-mart kodak photo cd thingey. those are easy. bu8t, oh, would it offer proof?

When I first read rccarman's posts I didn't give them much thought, but since I visit a lot of different threads, I've seen more and more of his posts lately. Most I skip and some I've went back to recently. If rccarman owns the R/Cs with all the hop-ups and has all the money like he claims, photos don't seem like much of a request especially when there "are" photos on eBay links selling the items. Consequently, if he took the photo so it could be sold on eBay, then a photo op should be available for any questions as well as all the simple requests brought up on this forum. Oh, I almost forget, I think some relative took the photos and returned to New York or somewhere. Then there is the "age" question.... Ten years sure do go by fast. It seems just like yesterday.

My only concern, is that I hope someone doesn't get taken advantage of and pays for something that may not even belong to a supposed seller. Of course, rccarman may actually post some photos of the Mini-T, the boat, and so on. However, that Mini-T in the photo has no where near the electronics rccarman claimed to have in a Mini-T he owned previously. I recall that very well since I asked about the servo after someone else did as well because it seemed like he was describing what is in my Mini-T. Of course, most of my photos have either one or two cats pictured in them.

Myself, I'd have a difficult time believing the photos because I'd want to see the R/C in person after seeing the other eBay photos. Perhaps, real-time video conferencing.

HAHHAHAHAHAHA, why not just crop the cats out? wow, that is sad, especially if you're selling it to the person who's the cats "belong" to (srry, couldnt think of the correct word), thats so great. (and stupid)

Start reading the following thread around Post No. 66 (Page 3).

http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_14...tm.htm#1474684

ORIGINAL: rccarman

Well,
Here the story on rccarman, it really should be “rccarboyâ€
After a little on-line detective work (all legal) I got his name, address and phone #
After a quick phone call I found out he’s a 14 year old kid (Sounded younger, but not 25 by a long shot) from Royal Oak, MI
And he is using his dad’s eBay account to sell the mini-t. He did tell me first hand he has all that in the ebay auction, and he did send me a handful of photos he had in his computer. I still requested a current photo with the words "losi rocks" on a piece of paper. and he did send it.

Hopefully his Mon and Dad know what’s going on
His Mom seam concerned why a Guy from CA was calling her kid, but she really didn’t grill me either before she quickly handed over the phone to her son, I could have been some online perv or something. Any adult that I don’t know calls my kid I’d be grilling the heck out of them. This just shows what happens when you let you kids surf without a leash.

If his intention is to rip anyone off he’s not going about it very cleverly
He’s has his real name registered on this on this board and is using his dads account on ebay, so I doubt he’s out to rip anyone off
I think he just started exaggerating and got in over his head, anyone with kids has experience with that.
If anyone does get burned by this kid, let me know. I have all his info it was real easy to find.
I wouldn’t buy a Popsicle off the kid, just because he’s lost any common respect, and it’s technically illegal to buy online from a minor anyway.


Rccarman,
Sorry to out you and all, but at least you did sent the pics
so maybe you can make a new start.
just be honest, that will gain you all the respect you need.
