Thought the price was good for what you get.
I think it's cool. It would look neat on the shelf and be a cool conversation piece.

Ultra cool, and I agree it is very underpriced….I love that you get to build it too, so you know it’s not just a moulded piece.
I’d actually like any of them, the 4 cyl looks sweet, but no pipes : (

I agree about the price seeming way cheap but I took a chance. Paypal should back me up if there's issues, they have in the past.

Ponyryd

12-22-2021, 03:25 PM

Nice, I don’t have PayPal, if I did I think I’d be ordering one of each…to bad the 2cyl isn’t available cuz I’d probably get one of those too, lol.

You need to start looking to upgrade the intake, bigger heads, valves and maybe a turbo or supercharger, and SS exhaust.

Zippy

12-22-2021, 03:43 PM

Yeah. Does whipple make a supercharger kit for it?

12-22-2021, 04:14 PM

No it's a coyote, said to already be fast enough.

Said by guys that don’t like low-end torque???

Link works for me, V8 was $90 or so, which is absolutely mental for that piece. The Amazon price is a bit high at $2200, but somewhere around $500 would be reasonable imo.

Would be cool to have a couple of those kits and have side-by-side engine building comps

12-22-2021, 07:56 PM

^ Great drinking game.

RedSN

12-22-2021, 08:20 PM

LOL drunken engine building. What could possibly go wrong?

12-22-2021, 08:34 PM

Exact same scam as I've seen on Faceplant n couple other places. Suppose to be sculptures made outta metal engine parts etc but molded plastic crapola arrives.

Not sure why these types of scams are not taken more seriously by law enforcement. Just imagine the millions they collect on the pennies spent.

I fully expected it to be a scam. I was more curious to see how bad it would be or if it would even be shipped. First notification of shipment put the weight at .5kg so I knew something was up.

I noticed the same about the shipping weight Steve. I also had the same thoughts placing the order fully knowing that Paypal would back me up if needed.

Update, They have this scam figured out pretty well. Response through paypal says they cannot accept my return due to corona virus, we will only refund 50%. Lol

Guess I'll just go ahead and escalate it.I've got nothing better to do. Trails aren't open yet for sledding.

They kept messaging me back and forth through paypal. I stuck to full refund. They offered 70%, then 80% this morning I woke up to this! Full refund.

Mine is still in the hands of PayPal, there a few more days left for the seller to respond.

After you get the refunds are you guys buying???

I got a notification from PayPal that I'm getting a100% refund [emoji2937]

So does PayPal cover the refunds in issues like this. Or do they chase down the seller and try for reimbursement?

01-28-2022, 09:52 AM

^ Interested mind here would like to know as well.

I really have no idea but they are handy to have on your side for instances like this.

mavrrrick

01-28-2022, 12:37 PM

I only buy on-line if they accept PayPal for exactly this reason.

Money is back in my account :)

Probably deduct the money they collected on the sellers behalf from customers, then they take their cut and also deduct the money from "bad sales" like your fake
engines sales.
No recourse for bad seller.

bluetoy

My refund came directly from the seller so they are losing. Not PayPal. But in reality they still win because majority wont bother following through with refund
