Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

I justreceiveda call from Mitosal. Usually I don't pick up the phone at this time in the night, but the number looked weird, so I made the exception. I answer and a reply to me comes with broken English. "Geez," asolicitorfinally got me.

Nope, they called from Singapore to make sure I got the package and that everything was okay with the order.

Who does that? Really?

I think that's a fairly good practice. Not sure if they do this often, or if sales and orders have been bad lately, but I like it.<br type="_moz" />

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

What did you get from them?

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Just the metal swing arms for my Leo. That's it, no tank, no tracks........<div>
</div><div>Guess it's not common of them, huh?</div>

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Mitosal is Impact.

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

I need some impact parts.....blah

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

and no it aint common. Something is up. especially with the Chinese companies. there seems to be some underhanded stuff going on again.

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Greg, I know Mitosal is Impact! lol<div>It's just the site I ordered from.</div><div>Whether something is up or not, I think it's a good practice and hope they keep that up. Gives people the impression that a seller really gives a damn, whether theytrulydo or not. Says their confident in their products/services and gives the customer anopportunityto agree or state otherwise.</div><div></div><div>I know some folks here don't care for Impact/Mistosal for reasons outside of their products and that's really none of my concern or business. Just stating my experience thus far.</div>

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Well tony , it did have a lot to do with their products as most of them in the beginning where junk. It took some hard work from some very good people to get them too the point they are at now and then they turned around and stuck it too them. And yes I am very opinionated and yes my mout is moving before the brain cells  are still getting their $#(! together. :)

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Ahh, now to clarify. I just got an email from them.<div>

There's a big push in China right now on international trade. China has moved ahead of Japan and they are hell bent to top the USA. Probably going to see a lot of politeness in dealers ...maybe higher prices too[:-]....hey, HL might even consider making something other than tigers and pershings. :eek:

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Well, I wasn't here for all that, nor do I really know anything about it. All I do know is no one else offers these metal swing arms and no one stateside carries them or will. I could always cast my own, but I'm finding out that sometimes, it's less trouble to shell out than to pour out.

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Tony, eto doesn't carry those parts?
BTW anyone know who sells Ostketten tracks for a PzIII?

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

What was the question? Oh, HL makes alot more than any of us ever knew of before. some interesting facts i have learned recently. Could be good , could be bad. But still no word on the HL KT. That really did suprise me. It was to be released back in June. Now no word. They are pre occupied with current undertakings. I also havent heard anything about any new modern armor, which is my biggest gripe.<div> No Joe, ETO is one of the dealers that Impact should I say let down for a more civilized way of putting it.  </div>

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

My son was in a car accident tonight and got pretty beat up so i'm just venting my stress. don't everybody go and get all cranky on me.

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Is he ok Greg?</p>

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Yeah Greg, I thought you read a little on edge. Is your son alright?

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

This is the only other place to get swing arm....while the quality would be vastly better since this is actually nickel-silver.......phew, $200 with shipping. I'll take the pot metal.

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

He's got quite a few stitches and his left are is chewed up like hamberger, but he is gonna be ok. totaled his Jeep though. were kinda screwed now with no cash to get him another vehicle. Damn thing just got out from under him on a wet curve and freakin flipped over on its roof. i thank god he is still alive<div> Yeah Tony,  we are kinda locked into the Impact stuff with AFV's prices and Impact now's it. Thats what they did though. started selling them cheaper on their own site than they where selling them too their licensed dealers. Nasty habit that is. Burned alot of bridges they did. </div><div> Now with that said, they make great tracks, but I cringe when I think of the future when I gotta replace my Panther G's tracks. Probably will go with Kenny's tracks then..</div>

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

I'm glad your son'sk brother. That's no joke.
As for Impact, I have zero experience with them, but it seems no one makes corret Ostketten tracks but them....

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Wow, that's a terrible thing and I dread my boys going through a similar ordeal when they're older. I'm glad he's okay in regards to being alive and kicking, and hope for a speedy recovery. <div>
</div><div>
</div>

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Here's to a speedy recovery, PG.

I think I got one of the last (if not the last) Impact sets from ETO back in 09. Interesting to find out this other info.

The arms needed a little touch up with flash where they attach to the V bearings, but aren't too bad otherwise. Not to mention they were cheaper like Tony mentions.

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Shaker, are you talking Ostketten or Winterketten? There's a difference. If it's Winterketten, the snow tracks, I've got one set in warehouse from Impact, also one set of Pershing tracks by Impact.

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Sorry to here that your son was in a auto accident, and hope your son is well. Wayne

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Greg, I sincerely hope your boy will be OK. Keep us in the loop on his condition.

RE: Mitosal Doesn't Mess Around!
 

Found this for you Joe and anyone interested with Impact, But don't see anything for Oustkettens though .... http://www.mitosal.com/
