You'll be lucky to get a rock. There's a lot of freaky shit in Asia.

But this morning I got a response from the seller . Also the tracking information is still showing updates. I'm due to receive "something" on September 26th. Did anyone else hear from the seller???

This is worth $20 just for the entertainment value. Such suspense!!!
I also opened a case with Ebay, haven't got any responce from the seller. Ebay told me I had to open a case with Paypal, as I paid with Paypal. So I did that.

Default Knockoff Tamiya mountaineer coming soon on this May

Battery arrived today.... it rattled, so I promptly ripped it open
Inside, I found two 18650 Li-Ion batteries.
Quite common with lesser brands from Asia at the moment it seems.
Perhaps because they’re safer?
Got exactly the same lil 1500mah battery in my 1:16 twin hammers clone.

Why those little wise guys! That battery case is a great example of how this world has become insanely wasteful!

Even worse, it will be a hollow rock with a smaller rock inside it.

Speaking of the $20 version of these trucks, my ebay refund came through about a day ago.

I'm going to give it until next week to see if it or whatever arrives on US soil. I did however message the seller yesterday and as of now no response, as I figured. I would really like to get something just to see what they were trying to get away with.

Update- Tracking says item arrived in Chicago IL on Aug 9th. Something seems to have made it.

Tracking has changed, Package is to be delivered on Tuesday the 14th. Any guesses on what I will get for $20?

Mine also seems to be in Chicago. No estimate on delivery though. I tried to cancel this transaction through E-bay and when I entered the item number it said I had neither bought or sold this item.


My credit card statement says something different.
