Actually, I dont think any of the guys from Texas have ever met this guy. He lives in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Fort Worth is about three hours away, but I dont think he ever showed up at any of the DFW club's comps.

I lived in Abilene 14 years ago. There was a hobby shop called Clyde's Machine and Hobbies. He also had a Racetrack. I would bet if someone can find a phone number for Clyde's he would prolly know him.

well i sent him a slash 4x4 that is hopped up but beaten for his honcho. it was a fair trade and i don't come on much so i didn't see the signals. he had 18 positive trader feedback on here so i thought it was good to go. i tried doing a package recall today but my worthless po closes at 4:15 and i got there at 4:20. called usps and sat on hold for 25 min to hear they can't do anything on the phone cause i need to fiill out paperwork. he hasn't received it yet so i will be at the po first thing in the morning. i been drinking beer and listening to lowlife by theory of a deadman to get me more pissed. i work hard for my money and am not about to give it up to some lowlife piece of shit without a fight. oh and on a side note if he was from north dakota i would be knocking on his door right now cause i live an hour from nd and have been all over that state.

His ebay name is 51towman, I looked it up just now and saw that he left feedback yesterday for a purchase he had made. If he can be on ebay, he can be on here, so I'd say the hospital or jail theories can be forgotten.
He shorted me a battery on a purchase I made from him on ebay, said he couldn't find it but would send it to me if he did. A few days later I saw one of his ads with the missing battery included in the package.

Funny thing is, he was on here 3 days ago and his profile says he is from North Dakota.

Im wondering if he is an oil guy. which could explain him being missing.

But please let us know about the phone number.

Na norm he's a tow truck driver or owns the company something like that I read it in a post and he posted saying if anyone ever needed a tow he would do it for free since everyone sent him free parts.. Lol he's a douche that needs the hell beat outta him.. Sad thing is all of those parts could've been used to donate to a real kid in need instead of that piece of shit to sell..

So where is he a driver at Texas or North Dakota?
I only say this because they are shipping a hell of a lot of people from texas to North Dakota to work in the oil fields.

Not only did he leave feedback on the 15th, but he bought a Wraith on the December 12th. Strange ebay purchase history for someone looking for handouts.

So in the last month and a half this guy who supposedly wants to help a kid build a crawler spends $752.16 on just rc parts on ebay. Not including the other crap he bought, including the bags he was trying to sell here in the classifieds claiming they were his wifes old ones or some chit.

So he is asking for hand outs when less than a week ago he bought a wraith kit and a castle short course esc motor combo plus bec and ax1o axles and proline wheels. all in around a weeks time..


Some one in Texas needs to go find this guy and beat him in the head with rockrigcustoms tube chassis. Then take all the stuff he just bought and give it to a kid who needs it.

Sorry that you guys got ripped off by this douchebag, but you'll be hard pressed to find someone in Texas (a state the firmly believes in the Castle Doctrine) who is willing to go to someone's house with intent to do them harm.
