Bit Char G replacement parts needed, HELP!

likwidplastik · #1 10-07-2002, 02:44 PM

I was attempting the fullsize wheelset mod that's shown on the QFM site. After about 30 minute of fiddling with the front suspension, I finally found out how to remove the pin from the wheels easily.

The bad part is, I bent/damaged the pins from when I was trying to figure it out! Is there anyplace that sells replacement Bit Char G (or microsizer) parts? I really don't want to have to buy another kit just for the front suspension.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

They're pricey, but if you're looking for just the parts...

Is there any other place that sells parts other than www.driftkingshop.com? I ordered my parts from them and when I received the package it had been ripped open and the parts were stolen out of it. I emailed him about it and he never replied.

I emailed TinyRC about the parts but I haven't gotten a reply yet.

Is there any other place or do I just have to buy another Bit Char-G? =(

Parts stolen and you got the package ripped up and driftkingshop never replied to your emails?

sorry but I find that hard to believe.

First of all, why would someone rip up a package and steal little bit char-g parts? the only person that has access to the mail is the postal service. Why would someone risk their job for a few parts? That doesn't make sense.

US Postal Service usually will not deliver letters/packages that have been ripped open with out a note.

driftkingshop is a great store I have ordered from them several times. once they mailed me a part in a letter rather than a package. The part arrived crushed and driftkingshop sent me a new part the next day! They have been great to deal with.

Also, if you parts really were stolen, it's not the fault of driftkingshop and you will have to contact the postal service. (it was the shops fault in my case because the packaging wasn't good enough)

Anyway, Good luck getting the parts you need.

Sketch_hs: First of all, I don't appreciate you accusing me of trying to get over on a $7.30 part. That would be ridiculous. I did not blame Driftkingshop of anything, in fact, I wrote them a nice email (with pictures) explaining the situation, and asked them what I should do. I know for a fact that it was not their fault. Maybe it should have been packaged better.

Second, I am taking it up with the postal service. I plan on asking our mailman if the package was torn open before he put it in the mailbox.

Since the parts only costed me $7.30, I don't plan on raising a big stink about the whole situation. I'll just take it as a loss. I was hoping that Driftkingshop would at least reply to my email and let me know if they had another set of the parts I needed so I could pay and order it again.

In the future, I suggest that you take the time to learn more about the situation before you pass judgement.

Here's some pictures of how the package arrivied. I know that this might sound crazy, but judging from how the envelope and bag is torn, it almost seems as though a small animal (rat maybe?) chewed into the bag and ate the parts. No one in their right mind would open a package in this manner. They would have at least stole the whole small bag inside or opened it from the top. I guess I just have bad luck.

Well anyway, if anyone knows where I can get those parts (front wheel set with the hubs), please let me know. Thanks.

CodeThief: The package was small enough to fit into my mailbox. So, no luck there.

NOOOOOOOO, you're scaring me!!! ST0P IT!!!

I have a;
Microsizer Skyline Body set for me.
Skyline Bit set and 3.0 motor somewhere on the plane from Hong Kong ordered by my friend with my ebay account thus its being shipped to my place
Microsizer Gear/Axle Tune up and Stabilizer sets for me.
3.8 motor for my friend and 3.2 motor for me.

So far I have never had a shipment lost but likwid's unfortunate event is giving me the creeps!

I have my fingers crossed every single day. Never had so many things coming in from the mail!!! I just wished there is a local store that carried microsizer accesories!!!

BTW, good luck likwid in getting a reply as well as a compensation for your loss.

Thats not so good. Maybe it got stuck in the mail sorting machine and the postie didn't notice??

likwidplastik, sorry if you misunderstood me.

I meant that it's ridiculous that someone would steal a $7.30 part out of a package (especially in the manner show by your pictures) I just can't see that happening...

It looks like an accident to me... I'd go with the mail machine ate it theory.

Sorry if I was rude defending driftkingshop, but my interpretation of your post was that you were blaming it on them. Obviously I mistook your post, as you did mine.

What a big happy misunderstanding! I think this comes with the inability to convey emotional tone in pure text postings... hmmm

anyways, I wish you good luck resolving the issue!
