Hmm dunno about you but that is not a high mah rating.. that's the lowest one for sub-C sized Nicads today.

this sucks, i traded for 4tires/rims,fuel bottle and glow warmer. from how the guy described it i thought it was a 7cell hump pack with 4000mah, and they cost around $50 new. he got a good deal though..lol.

Should've asked for pictures before you traded. What forum was it on?

You shouldnt just rub it off and forget about it. He could be doing these foolish scams to others in the future. I'd report him right away.

I agree. If this person is a member of this site and he is dealing goods here, then he should know at least a little about r/c. There is no way even a novice would get 4000mah confused with 1500mah. Turn him in. You definitely got the shaft on this one.
