Raman36 1656 Posted November 23, 2014 Ive never received a response to questions I have submitted to JR-RC. He is pretty bad.. So either he is overwhelmed or just doesn't care 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matman 1499 Posted November 23, 2014 Which store did these come from? I'm still waiting for mine from Jason. 3 months and still waiting. I'm sure paypal has changed to 3 or 6 months to make a claim ?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raman36 1656 Posted November 23, 2014 Sometimes speaking to a person at Paypal can help. Also if you made a payment through paypal using a credit card (instead of checking account) you can dispute it through the credit card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Champ85 609 Posted November 24, 2014 I didn't ask how to cancel the order or file a Paypal claim or complain about JR-RC. I simply asked where he ordered the parts. I'm still waiting for an answer to that question. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matman 1499 Posted November 24, 2014 So why did you say your still waiting & it's been 3 months ?. On top of your question . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bsy2010 218 Posted November 25, 2014 Still missing some details and electronics, but here is mine with all "important" hop ups Still can't decide whether to mount the satin or black wheels... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SupraChrgd82 1425 Posted November 25, 2014 Found some spacers from an old HPI shock tree for the shock towers. The body goes on much easier now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madmickmalone 77 Posted November 25, 2014 Hi, Probably been answered before. But if I want to install the HG hopup shocks ,do I need to change the shock towers or anything else for them to fit? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bsy2010 218 Posted November 25, 2014 Yes, you do need the Kyosho HD shock towers (or some DIY) as the HD shocks are longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Champ85 609 Posted November 25, 2014 So why did you say your still waiting & it's been 3 months ?. On top of your question . You're right, I should not have posted how long I've been waiting since it was irrelevant to the question I was asking. I had no idea it would confuse the situation.

Wandy 1527 Posted November 29, 2014 My Pargu Turbo Scorpion roof arrived this week, beautifully presented and packaged....but unfortunately I was dismayed to discover that it has scratches on it. Can't deny that I am a bit gutted about it as it is intended for shelf queen use only. Has anyone else bought one of them and had the same problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matman 1499 Posted November 29, 2014 Will it sand or buff out ?. Thats not good news !. may have to talk to him & see what he can do ?. Not worth painting it ? as an option . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1527 Posted November 29, 2014 Will it sand or buff out ?. Thats not good news !. may have to talk to him & see what he can do ?. Not worth painting it ? as an option . Nope. I tried polishing it out but it made no difference. I am considering contacting Pargu and asking for a replacement. Does anyone have experience of their customer service with this kind of issue?

bromvw 744 Posted November 29, 2014 Guys can i have a honest opinion about this ? I have always liked the look of the Scorpion with its clean lines , simple but well designed chassis and what appears to be high quality cast parts . I also like its very scale appearance However having built a rere Buggy Champ SRB and found it a real let down as a runner can i ask just how good the Scorpion is ? How well does it handle for example and is it reasonably fast ? As a side issue Is the Beetle as good? - both are under consideration I'am very very tempted to buy one and hop it up to the max but i don;t want another ' RC Icon ' that is a let down .

scootmike 36 Posted November 29, 2014 Sucks about the roof panel, I would send him pics, he should replace it. Got lucky and and found an original nip for cheap, remember paying $50 for one a few years ago! Boy how prices sure have come down, it's a great time to be in this hobby. As for JRRC I ended up opening a case, could not get a response from him on a $200 + order, hate to say it but I'm done with him. Have bought a lot of parts thru the years, no more. He made no replies to paypal either so I was refunded in full. What a shame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1527 Posted November 29, 2014 I've sent Pargu a message with the photo of the roof. Let's see what happens eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By all accounts it completely wipes the floor with the re-release SRBs. Even more so if you fit it with all of the hop-ups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I should receive it in the next week or so. Will let you know if I have any issues. Pargu makes nice stuff, but his customer service is a bit lacking. Nonetheless I would contact him and if he doesn't respond, dispute it via PayPal / items not as described Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SupraChrgd82 1425 Posted November 29, 2014 I got a Pargu roof also, however, it came in perfect condition. I believe it is made of stainless steel. You will need a fairly durable abrasive to sand out the scratches, maybe emory cloth or some wet/dry sandpaper. Shoot for 400 grit or higher if you give it a try.

Raman36 1656 Posted December 1, 2014 Nice, now you have one for a basher I wonder if he grabbed the person responsible and dropped him off on the N Korean side for punishment Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wandy 1527 Posted December 1, 2014 Nice, now you have one for a basher I wonder if he grabbed the person responsible and dropped him off on the N Korean side for punishment Controversial. He said he would send the replacement "very soon". Not sure what the Korean interpretation is for that phrase mind you. I hope he means this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
