think it's this one

even I am tempted, this goes to show how much companies like HPI are making a killing, leaving the shop owners to fight for the scraps  >:(

well guys
ebay removed his adds today  :-\ , but he has put them back on but in austrailian dollars , and postage to the uk has jumped up to £80  :o

looks like some disgruntled person or persons must have complained to ebay but he is back on now

Well I really hope it doesn't affect current orders. Id be gutted if I didn't get it. I paid through paypal so if it all goes tits up I should be able to get my money back (just loads of agro to get it).

Il let everyone know wen mine comes. I ordered it on Friday night so prob went in post on Monday.

Yup I'm hoping mine was posted too on Monday, but he's not replying to emails and won't send me a tracking number... So...  If anyone does hear anything from this guy, could they please post up details?

Funny thing i was just gonna email him. When I first contact him about buying one, he took a while to answer, so he might just be really lazy. If I hear anything il post.

I emailed the guy this morning about 7, and by 8 I had a reply. He said the listing was removed because the factory raised the price he could buy them for. Although why he changed to AUS dollars I don't know. He said mine should be shipped on Monday and he will send me a tracking number. If he doesn't I'l start mobbing him.lol.

There was a bloke selling loads of hpi and fg baja on ebay (dsh5g) but his feedback only had 19 - all 1p purchases. The item was listed as paypal but he said he only accepted direct payment. Now his feedback is private !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He has sent me a tracking number, but he said that hes out of the Hong Kong in mainalnd china, and hasn't got his paper worki with him so he doesn't know for definate that its mine. He said his partner is sending him the receipts of all the shipments that went on Monday so he can then send me my correct number.

Dan, can you PM me the last few digits of your number so I can see whether hes just trying to blag it by sending everyone the same number.

There was a bloke on ebay (dsh5g  - damien harris) flogging loads of fg & hpi baja. His feedback was fron 19 different 1p purchases. Even though the listings was for paypal, he said he was only accepting patments direct to his account then would send them.

Low and behold he has now been deleted from ebay.

Be aware.

Hi  Guys
 
Since hearing of the baja clone i have been wanting one, but it seems that none of you have had much in the way of sucess in ordering or recieving one( let me know if im wrong) and the guy on ebay seems to have mysteriously disapeared. So i did a bit of investigating on other forums etc to see if i could find where they came from i only knew it was china

Anyway they come from www.kingmotor.cn and are apparently a baja 5b without the stickers (hpi) and other than crappy radio gear are the same.

i dont know how legit this company is but some guys in the u.s. and oz have been successfull and they got them well cheap too

so i ordred one online (doh!) have not made any finacial comitment yet waiting for an invoice ?????? but paypal is by far the safest option if available

anyway just wanted to let you know what i know and will keep you posted on any progress if any

phil
