Vectra's new Toy..

vectra

This should fit in nicely with my Carson C5 Red Bull Audi A4..



The Ultimate Off-Road vehicle that has been assembled completely ready to go. Supplied with a 40Mhz computer radio with ten model memory, pre-mounted servos, receiver and battery.

This model can be considered suitable for the newcomer, due to the easy handling and user-friendly operation of a petrol powered engine. The engine requires a mixture of 1:25 petrol/oil. A full tank is enough for approx.40-45 min. of driving.

The Zenoah engine is started like a just like a lawn mower. The motor is turned off using the attached switch. The 23 cc engine is extremely powerful and is often used on the competition scene. There is ample power available for sharp acceleration and excellent off road performance.

The advanced chassis technology ensures outstanding road grip. The offroad tyres with inserts are already pre glued to the rims. Four adjustable aluminium oil pressured shock absorbers provide balanced and smooth handling.

• 1/6 scale
• 2WD rear wheel drive
• Zenoah G230 engine
• 4 mm aluminum chassis with countersunk screws
• Double a-arm suspension front and rear
• camber, caster and toe-in adjustable in front, camber and caster in rear.
• Threaded shock bodies for easy adjustement of spring preload
• Differential with spline drive shafts
• Epoxy brake disks
• fuel tank (capacity 0,7 litres) with fuel filter and vent line
• rigid rc-plate with splash protected boxes for receiver and receiver battery
• side mounted rocker panels protect against dirt
• Flexible ABS-body shell with stickers already applied

I have got a feild right next to my house that some people call a double Rugby pitch.. Yup Rugby club right outside my house with two full size pitches on it..

Also
A buddy of mine has a marder and has 3 acres behind his house that he owns..
Only problem is there are lots and LOTS of "cow bombs" :eek:

Difficult to say at the minute.

The story goes.:

He sent it to the wrong address
If it doesnt get delivered ( which it wont)
It goes back to him.
Then he says he will Re-send it via DHL express ( an extra €40 )
That doesnt bother me but what does bother me is that I now will not have it on time for Christmas...!! :mad:

I requested a Full refund as it has not arrived as promised.
But I know he is going to come back saying something like
" I sent it and cannot do anything about it until I get it back "


What do I do now?

Couriers are ok and know their business.
But problems take time to solve.

You will probably have it delivered to your address ... eventually.
Add a week or two to your expectations.

Not a sign of it..:o
Nor my refund.

But I guess I have to let things settle and get back to normal after Chrimbo for deliveries to shape up..

Plug

It will come eventually I guess. The courier croud might let you off the delivery charge for the delay.

I already paid in full for it including delivery charges..

Plug

Yeah but when they arrive with it they might give back the delivery money and apolagose.

Nope.
Giving it until Friday now and he cannot say I was not patient. I want a full refund then from him.

I know you have bought stuff on ebay in the past without incident, but this whole episode would put me off using it.
