Was flat out racing mate, went past him, noticed other mates buggy had
unfortunately stalled right in front of us... Anchors on, slid, sideways,
whack into parked buggy. Took his fuel tank with me tho ;) Ordered another
one off ebay, as this one is a bit too bent, and am suffering compression
issues when tryin to stall it by covering the end of the exhaust...

Have you tried mailing the guy? Mine took 2 weeks and 2 days.

Free pipe unbender solution:

Plug the outlet and pressure nipple and fill the pipe with water
Plug the inlet and stick in a freezer for a few hours
Keep an eye on it and as the water inside the pipe freezes it'll push the
dents out

I've seen it work before; doesn't always work but is worth a try.

Yeah, I emailed him two weeks ago, he spun me some line about OFNA moving to a
new building and not being able to ship any stock for 10 days, which kind of
implies that he was offering the engines for sale and taking ebay payments
before he had any to sell - NAUGHTY!

I emailed him two days ago asking for an update but he hasn't bothered replying
as yet.

Hello,

If you bought from homedoc, I did too. He told me that he does not have all
the engines that he expected to get. I won the auction on 6/8 and never saw
the engine. I emailed him he usually ignored me too. I then stated that I
was unhappy and wanted a refund. I stated a date that I will contact
ebay/paypal if I did not have the engine in my hands or a refund. That was
21 days post auction close. He gladly refunded the money because he still
did not have the engine. I have since went to lightninghobby.com and bought
a .26 outlaw engine for $169 and they still have stock. GOOD LUCK

Yeah, I just got a reply from homedoc along the same lines. He didn't reply to a
direct email, only when I contacted him through eBay. To be fair, he has now
offered me a no-quibble refund.

Ah thats a shame, because it is an awesome engine! I see he still has .26
Picco engines listed, one of them might be quite nice ;)

Apparently OFNA sent him 30 Picco .26s instead of 70 Hyper .21s.

I don't think my drivetrain could stand the torque from an outlaw engine for
very long, which is a shame because they are indeed a very powerful engine at an
amazing price.

Just as an FYI for both of you guys, even though he probably let you know
already, Larry now has stock of the engines, and is listing 20 on ebay
tonight. He just emailed me and told me, as i asked him when he would have
more stock, as my mate wants one :)
