I was the shipper and not afraid to fess up to it(i missed this thread due to comp problems).
not it was not burned, no there was no rust on the motor, it out
let me guess, it was dropped by me before i sent it out right....???
i am no scammer i have dealt on here before no problem. something goes wrong thru shipping and all of a sudden i sent a sub with burned coils and rust on motor. bullshit.
the crate wasn't the best ever built, but it is hard trying to ship a sub without the original crate( was used on another sub that was sold and arrived perfectly.)
i have shipped a 12 inch xxx the same way(they weigh the same) and it arrived in perfect condition. from tennessee to florida.
sometimes you can't help careless ness. it let tennessee in one peice arrived in a cali hub sent to the next and then the damaged report was filed. lay off ****
