Title: cheap type 4
Post by: rockdog2877 on January 14, 2010, 12:06:11 pm
well I was looking at "greg's bus" on ebay, LAUGH@   I went over to see what they had for parts and motors. a little pricey.

 Then I came across WCC selling a new type 4 long block for $1200! !fright! I couldn't believe it.
Even Gex isn't that cheap. the average is close to $2000. Bus depot has them for $2,500.
I did a quick samba search and I found what I feared

if John C over at aircooled.net says the suck then they suck!

Toss those guys in with the worst of the lot, the MOFOCOs & GEXs. Trouble is if you read the magazines you would think theres never a problem. Remember whos paying for those nice ads you see in the back of the book! Buyer beware hell !advoid at all cost!

I'd run so fast away from that one! you can't build a decent T-1 for that price and T- 2 / 4 parts are usually 2 to 3xs what a T-1 cost.
