What did the postman bring you today?

[Seandonato73]

In his pic of the bulk head description it shows the plastic connector in place, that wouldnt be there if it was a take off. Should be in an HPI bag. And even if it was a take off there would be some marks on it from taking it apart, holes that got marred from screws going in and out ect. I've bought plenty of new take off parts, yes they look good, but you can tell they were on something.

What are you talking about? Doug's bulkheads? They wouldn't be take off a used vehicle, they would be new take off

Chop shop ,perhaps played with it before they chop suey it!....

Mailed this is what they said

So like I said they'd have no reason to talk shite?‍??

 

[Seandonato73]

Wonder why there were some they weren't in hpi bags ?

 

[DougStar]

That's what I'm thinking

Could be damaged orig packaging,there could be several reasons.

Theres no way that clunk ever saw fuel. It wouldn't be white. I call bull on that stuff being genuine HPI.....

Sorry, but what? It's brand new in package. Of course the clunk has never seen fuel.

rc-car-online.de are pretty reputable. They don't deal in clones. They only carry OG cars, and have a strong reputation in the EU. I'd be willing to bet that the bulkheads were taken from a Baja SS kit with replacement cards rather than being supplied as a clone part.

Even the DDM page shows the bulkheads as separate pieces: http://www.davesmotors.com/hpi-85434-rear-bulkhead-set.html

@dougstar can you post a pic of the bulkheads outside of the packaging?

 

[DougStar]

Will do as soon as I'm home??
