[QUOTE="RangerMan, post: 457728, member: 541020"] Let me elaborate on the Team Industry deal. About a year and a half ago, Ben decided that he would "help" out certain competitors. We didn't have to run his products, but I felt that it was kind of encouraged. This was when I first got in to the competition scence, and I was blinded with joy that I was actually on a team. Loyd was the team leader, and I remember a few others, including josh99ta that were on the team. In the beginning, Ben seemed to be a very cool person, and I talked with him on AIM quite frequently. I bought a total of 5 drivers from them at "competitor's pricing." Anyway, the first two (12As) drivers that got here were broken. The frame was cracked in shipping. I asked Ben if I could send them back for new ones, but in a round about way, he told me that I'd have to pay to get them fixed. Then he told me that some Mr. Weld would fix it, so I dropped some on there. Soon after that, I began competiting with them, and actually loved them for a while. I set a state and world record in Regular Cab Truck with them. Soon after, I bought a Earthquake D2 from Chad Hines, and went to do some testing at his house with them. First burp that day...thwap! Cone broke away, and the piston beat the shit out of the cone...breaking the "indestructable" cone. Again...I contacted Ben, wanting to send the subs back, but again, it would cost me. Shortly after, the cone on the second one broke, so I bought a set of Ks. They broke... During this period of time, I experienced the same thing that Josh did. I'd contact him on AIM about the 12A problems, and he'd sign off. Finally, he just abandoned Team Industry all together after making a darn good profit off of some of us...lesson learned. [/QUOTE]
