Q: Hmm, you said it has been converted to brushless.. brushless requires 2 motor wires, not two. Also please stop B.S.ing because even the most most noobish r/cer will tell u it is just an electronic motor places into the heatsink. Just stop right now, it's not funny at all.

A: Your the one B.S.ing. The last time I checked real brushless motors use THREE wires not two like you said before. The only reason this motor is brushless is because the brushes were yanked out with a pair of pliers. If you are that worried about the "noobish r/cer" then go bother the guys selling redcat racing and exceed cars who are really ripping the "noobish r/cer". If you think this is funny, post a question. If you don't then don't buy it.

:lol:

Edit: WHAT its at $289 :rofl::rofl:

Oh god..

That guy, rustler001, from BYT forums (in which Krawlin' posted there), was completely serious. I read his all serious post, surrounded by thousands of posts of "LOL!" or "LMAO" or "THAT GUY IS MY HERO", okay maybe not the last one but you get it.. I couldn't stop laughing..

Friend of me just gave me the link again... $10.000
http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...=STRK:MEWAX:IT

I'll bid till $12.500 I think

OK, it was pretty funny when it was ~$400, but now that the reserve has been met, I wonder what will come of this? A joke is a joke, but if someone wants to take issue, there might be some repercussions.

Thought about that too. He should go to the lawyer if he doesn't get his money :lol:

i cant believe this, :lol:

it didn't meet the reserve. :)

Q: Does this work? because Honestly it looks like a complete Fake.
A: Some say its an engineering marvel, and some say its two old motors hammered together, others have called it art.


note to self: stop drinking coffee and reading rc-monster forum posts... I need a new keyboard now....

the manager at my lhs listed that auction. at one point, the bidding got up to $10,999 but he cancelled the bids because there was no way he wanted to be responsible for any of the cost in fees in case the seller didn't pay.

he got over 160 questions and tried to answer them all as humorously as humanly possible, but after 4+ pages, the auction hit the limit for replies.

because the auction never reached the reserve by the end, he was getting offers for a couple of days after it ended.

imo, the best offer was for a mildy mentally challenged monkey. (this was also a JOKE) LOL

I think the only sad part of the whole auction were the basement losers who obviously couldn't take a joke and starting giving him a hard time for thinking he was auctually trying to pass this off as a working motor. everytime he got a bid, he emailed the bidder and told them exactly what it was and gave everyone an opportunity to back out or cancel their bid.

for anyone who was a fan of the page. there was a bunch of additional info written in white letters that may or may not ever have been found.... but described this auction as nothing more than a joke in good humor.

Why did he do it? It was just to lighten up some folks and have some good natured fun. the only person who ended up paying anything was him. the original posting fees of about $5.70.

i really think this could have sold if it had been listed in the arts section. the asthetic value alone was worth millions. LOL

as for the fate of the very first nitric engine, it's on it's way back for repair.

For those of you who can't figure it out, this engine does not work. <<< :lol:
