1x Paint Job JConcepts Blitz shell.

Thus far a B4 shell received, numerous emails passed back and forth and no apoligy, refund contact for what seems like an eternity.

I've received numerous offers of help from fellow hobbyists to sort the issue out but that means more expense for shells etc so my lad and I have packed it in, we were racing on a budget ( a very tight one at that ) and we've been taken for a ride by this individual.

Thanks for all the offers of help, but if this person can treat people like this knowing this was a father/son bonding time I hope that his little ones dont ever find themselves in this situation.

Please watch the for sale area for said B4 and a couple of HPI Blitz as we need to recover as much as possible.

I hope no one ever gets done over by him again and the forum is better off without people such as Matt.

Thanks again and have fun everyone
Dont let this bad experience ruin your enjoyment of the hobby.
in my experience fellow racers are friendly and inviting folk that are always happy to help out and to help grow the sport that we all love.
if its something that you and your lad enjoyed then stick with it and get down to your local track and meet proper people not anonymous interneters
