I just did a search for Excel Hobbies on whitepages.com. I also did a search for that phone # there as well. Guess what, neither came back with any results, if this truly were a legitimate buisness with a real listed phone # and address, it would have shown up. My guess is it is a cell phone# or secondary phone service connected to voicemail only.

How did you pay?
 
Dude I just called and some chinese chick answered and I hung up on her call them now nc
 
X I don't see any servos or linkage in that pic. Look at the lever for the break looks very similar to the way a T brake is set up. But no linkage. Wheres the throttle linkage? Where is the receiver box? Is that the antenna pole laying across the wheels? is that supposed to be a RTR?

Speaking of RTR, did you see the radio you will supposedly get? Looks like a radio shack radio at best probably K-Mart
 
Its got clear servos with clearr gears and clear servo linkagew and clear grease. DUHHHHhhhhhhhhhhh I thought you of all people would know that NC

Oh wait stop the presses check out this guy and his store and feedback

Ebay auction for a smarttech
Man I think this guy may be really selling knocks offs. It looks like his english is just as bad as his prodcut knock offs. X

We should do somthing about this.... You sound so professional on the phone. Lets call The BBB
 
OMG - EDDY JUST OWNED THAT LADY!


sxe7779 - I dont know how you paid for this but there are a few things you can do.

If payed by Credit Card - call your credit card company and have them stop payment/ challenge the charege.

Personal Check - have the bank void the check.

Money Order - Contact the post office and see about stopping the payment on it, though this is ususally a long process and usually to little to late.

Cash - Grab the tissues.

thats funny she had like no idea what she was talking about
 
Now that video just made my day, I am so glad I researched for 2 months before I bought my first car.

Good luck on getting your cash back man!
 
You know another sad thing - a member here posted this info as a warning to others at the traxxas forum....they quickly deleted it.


I say its time for someone over there to grow up. :\

Hey WoodiE I wonder who it was...:sneaky:
 
Eddy, that video proved everything I suspected..."Assembled in China". This would be a foreign knock off, and from the land of knock offs no less.

Too bad the idiots at TRAXXAS are adverse to a little outside help...they are going to probably hear from some of their not so smart users when they get taken by this POS.
 
OMFG that is to funny that is the same chick that I called and hung up on. Dude that is PRICELESS.
what kind of radio is it mamm

its a pissssssssssssssssssssssstttoollllllllllllllllllll
freaking priceless. ED you are tha man. X
 
Well this has really created quite a stir, I actually figured this was going to be a knock off imitation of a real t-maxx, I just want to see how it compares to an actual t-maxx, I never have seen anything like this and its quiet intriguing, I just hope that its as good as it states. I can't say much for the name of the truck "magic wheel" doesn't sound to intimidating to me, but ehh I dont know! For everyone worried about how I paid for it, I did pay by credit card, it was a one time use discover card # so they can't try to rip me off and its only good for the amount I state to discover card so they can't charge me like 2300, instead of 230. we will see when I get the truck about the quality and the exactness of copying the t-maxx. That radio sure does look flimsy though, but only time will tell. As far as I know the magic wheel hasnt been shipped yet, and I havent been charged yet either, so who knows whats gonna happen. As far as the person I talked to. I talked to a man named Eric Chi and supposedly he is the designer and builder of this crack machine. If you want you can actually barter with him on the price, thats what I did. Maybe if one of you calls and offers him 50 bucks he might just accept. with this all known I just hope this is a semi-decent product. I will post pics and stats as soon as I receive my "magic wheel"
 
I hope you can get you money back !That truck has pretty much none of the stuff they said it had, and on that website when you click things it doesn't do anything!!Eddy that made me laugh SO hard!!!! I might just warn some peeps on TRAXXAS about it maybe they won't delete it twice !!:)
 
That was great Eddy! Every time I called I only got a machine. I wanted to ask them if I could come in and pick one up in person, lol.
