I took my car in to the shop today to be looked at cos it kept blowing glow plugs an i couldn't sort it out av myself I sent my dad to pick it up an when he got it to me I took a look at it an it had been crashed all the left suspension arm mount ad split. Funny thing is when I a rang to see if it was ready to be picked up they said it was I asked if it was ok they said yes it was they had been driving it round. But when I rang back to say that it had been crashed they tried telling me it was not driven they only ran fule through it.. So angry right now but little do they no al be there waiting at the door when they open in the morning :angry::angry::angry:
 
Thats just another reasone why most hobby shops just plain suks anymore. My LHS always hates on nitro push's there electric's on everyone. If I go in I know its gonna be an arguement every time. And these guys did not even know they made a steel spur gear for a Tmaxx.







High Speed Low Drag:whhooo:
 
i went back to the shop this morning an they said it was like that when i dropped it off an would not do anything for me what so ever just started shouting am swearing at me
i ended up having to by new parts for it there cost me £25 got me so mad ,,so i rebuilt it so i could see if they had fixed the reason why it went in there in the first place just got back in from testing it an its still doing what it was doing before it went in there BLOWING PLUGS dont no what to do now grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
 
Wait they started yelling at you? Something ain't right there, personally I think yelling is a strong defensive move almost admitting guilt to me.
 
Yeah i would also set it on fire before throwing it thru the window. Again as above this is just me and wouldnt recommend doing what i would in this matter. I also would have punched the jack ass yelling at me in the mouth!
 
This time there is nothing you can do about it bc u have no proof of what condition the car was in upon bringing it in. i would be pissed as a motha effer to i dont blame you and i woulda gave em a piece of my mind to but the next time you bring the car in to a hobby shop take pics of the car that are dated and get a reciept with date of dropping the car off then if its messed up when u pic it back up you can then make them pay to fix it or do what you have to do to give thier business a bad name
 
Well now you don't go back there for any reason and you give them some bad publicity and you talk to these guys on this site and they will talk you through correcting what's going on. And you look around and find another place to buy your RC stuff. From what I've heard these guys say, running your engine lean will cause your plugs to burn out.
 
I would have someone by the throat and dare them to call the cops.:D

Wait, I've done that. I would walk behind the counter and get the parts they broke myself, wait, I've done that too..
Never mind...
 
The other thing is to go to your equivalent of the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint as well.
