Try snail mail. I tried to get a hold of him for weeks by voicemail and email with no luck. So I sent him an old fashioned letter asking him to return my engine even if it wasn't done yet and that seemed to work and I got it back about a week later.
If you don't need to have your engine modded and you need it back, that might be a idea to try. You can get the address on the contact section of his website.

I originally talked to Chris on the phone back in September. A buddy of mine has used him in the past multiple times with success. That being said..... he told me about his mods and when I asked him about turnaround time he said approx 2 days after he receives it. I sent him a NEW GRP .21 AND a Rex P5. (as he stated he will only work on new engines from now on) plus the $200 labor & return shipping charges. I sent it priority with tracking and insurance on 09/23. USPS delivery confirmation shows he received it on 10/07. I needed those engines for 2 big races in my area, but guess what..... another story like the ones above. 
Multiple phone calls and emails later with no response, seven weeks later and no engines or any explanation of any kind. The excuse of being ill or family issue could possibly be understandable, however people stated in this very thread how he's still showing up at the race track. If you've got time for that, you've got time to return an email or at least put a message on your answering machine that keeps taking my calls so I have some form of peace of mind regarding the aprrox $800 I'm out of....

There is NO defense for what he has done. I dont care if he is dying, he should not have accepted teh engines if he was not able to do teh work. Period.
I HATE crooks, and I own a business. I would NEVER let something like that happen.
And yes, if I was dying I would damn sure come on here and apoligize.
NO EXCUSE

Hopefully he will get the same treatment from companies he does business with so that he can see what it's like.

Some of you guys are heartless. I know it must be frustrating not having your engine to run your toy car, but come on. Im not standing up for Chris, ive been in the exact same situation with having to wait and get my motors back from him. But if he, his wife, son, or whoever is close to him is sick then his business comes 2nd. I know it would for me. There will always be motors to mod but you cant bring someone back once they are gone. Im sure he will make everything right in the long run.

Who knows, maybe he's living off their money.
Family is first, no matter what. But, it would only take a few minutes to email these people and/or 15 minutes to ship them back with a refund.

It is now coming up on 4 months Chris has had my engines. I wouldn't even mind if he kept the money I sent at this point, I just want my engines back!
