Bought the "practically brand new" Mamba Max and this is what I received:
1) Frayed positive power wire
2) Cut switch with ends twisted together
3) Missing screw and the hole in the casing stripped
4) Extremely dirty inside with animal fur?!
Here's our PM transcript and what he had to say:

I'm not too happy at the MM. You didn't disclose that the positive power wire was frayed, its missing a bolt, and the on/off switch was cut and just twisted together. The other bolt hole is stripped so I cant even secure it down with another screw. This is definitely not "practically brand new" as you stated in the post. I'd like a refund if not a partial refund to compensate. Please advise.

If your talking about the casing you can either use another screw or just E-mail Castle Creations for another case WHICH IS FREE... I did say in my post that the On/Off switch was removed.. You can always pick one up for a few dollars and just solder it back on.. Why should you receive a refund? The casing was NEVER a problem from me.. I never even noticed it was missing a screw and you can receive a FREE replacement from Castle creations shipped to your door FOR FREE.. The On/off switch was in the post and also you can see in the pictures there wasn't any switch.. Are you really going to be so anal about this?

I have that thread saved and nowhere in the auction does it say that there is no on/off switch and it was cut. Nowhere does it say the wire is cut and frayed. Nor does it say it has a missing mounting bolt. Your pictures dont even show if the wire has been cut and all the pictures taken show the side of the wire that is not cut. The bolt is the 1st thing I noticed because as soon as I moved the wires the ESC board lifted on one side. For something that was supposed to be like brand new there was a whole lot of grime and pet hair inside the casing. If I knew that I would have just payed $40 more and gotten a new one. I'd like to return this for a refund or I'd settle for a partial refund of $20 for having to go through the trouble of getting a new case and soldering an on off switch. Its up to you. I'm sure you would do the same thing if you were in my shoes.

All you need to do is put in a larger screw there.. Whats a screw 50 cents? Thats all it needs. I know for a fact both screws where in there when I shipped it out. I knew you where going to be extremely ANAL about this from the start and should have never sold it to you. All the way from the start having me switch out the MM's and not wanting the one that was up for graps. I was nice enough to switch them out for you, Which I didn't want to do.. You already got a great deal on this MM for 80 bucks.. There going on ebay for 100 all the time.. Now your trying to get it for 60? Seriously man get real..

For $40 I could have bought a brand new MM with warranty. That was my mistake. An honest seller and an accurate description would have prevented this issue. As a result I get a negative trader feedback because I called him out on him inaccurate product description. BUYERS BEWARE!
