I need a raw or race ready 1717-17-45 3/16 bore. Live in Lakeland Fl. Let me know what you have. Thanks.

First, my apologies for not getting back to you last night, after work, as I had originally said I'd do. Second, I know I originally responded to your post in a different forum, but I couldn't remember which...the, you posted here, and, when I woke (way to early for my liking, but I do stay much earlier today) for work, I discovered you had posted the question here.

Anyway, I checked the one prop box I could find, and I didn't find a 1717-17-45 in there. I do have another prop box, but right now, I'm not sure where I put it. I can try to find it in Friday (if you haven't already heard from someone else who has what you're looking for) morning, before I head to the track to practice for Friday night's off-road racing (first time I'll be racing in over 2 years). Right now, OSE is out (of raw)...but, you might also consider checking other possible sources (eBay, Amazon, RC Boat it's, etc).

ask chris hoffman or OSE

While Chris does do great work, he's also a bit overpriced (and, saying "a bit" is a bit of an understatement), not to mention being sightly arrogant & self-righteous (be might be friendly with those he knows...but, for someone who doesn't know him, in contacting him about a couple props, that's exactly how his emails came across). As for OSE, I'd have agreed, but (as I already pointed out, above) Steve is currently out of raw 1717-17-45s (I didn't check his S&B stock). The Op is probably asking because he already checked OSE, and discovered Steve is currently out.

I'm not over price,,, most think my prices are very fair,, the above just must be on a shoe string budget of cheap !!!

[Thetrums17]

Chris at Dasbota and Buaas are great people and you get what you pay for. Chris does not have that prop. Already asked. Brian is on vacation. If you are worried about 20 or 30 dollars, you may be in the wrong ho by. Thanks, Chris.

I should also mention "rude". I messaged Chris...and, while I will admit that it was a slightly-lengthy message, and that I explained the reasoning for pointing out his arrogance, I also complemented him (considerably) on the quality of his prop work.

In his reply, he stated that he couldn't be bothered with reading long messages, and even told me to "keep his name out of things", as if he doesn't want others to know about his arrogance. The truth is, he actually does outstanding work (I've seen it, firsthand)...but, with an attitude like that, people must ask themselves, do they really want to purchase from someone who is going to act like that. Again, his props are great, but.....

I have used both Dasbota and Brian Buaas props. I don't know Chrisat Dasbota but I called Brian Buass out of the blue and he spent over an hour talking props. And continues conversations with me, a nobody in this hobby, in un hurried conversations sharing his knowledge. I apologize to you, Panther, for what I said to you. This should be an enjoyable hobby. I know that everyone I have talked to, after getting back in boats, have been great. Thanks, Chris.

Don't you have a job or something ???

Actually, yes, I do have a job...in a customer service-related field...and, I've been in customer service related positions since the early-mid 80s...so, it's something I know EXTREMELY well. Currently, I get to meet & drive people you could only imagine meeting - celebrities, government officials, dignitaries, top-level corporate officers/executives...even royalty, and a president. In other words, things that require security clearances & background checks...things that can't be done by "phonies".

Whether you choose to believe/accept it, or not, you, too, are in "customer service". Unfortunately, you appear to know little about what the words "customer service" means. If you don't like someone (and, by the way, I NEVER have you any reasons to dislike me when I contacted you 18 months ago...your attitude/arrogance showed itself, from the beginning, without any provocation)...especially just because a potential customer inquires as to why your pricing is so high...that does not give you any right to be rude, or condescending, towards them.

I could respond with more...but, to be completely honest, you're not worth it. Thankfully, Steve provides outstanding customer service. For anyone who is looking for props (raw, or S&B), Steve is always the person I direct them to first. As great as your prop work might be, your ego, obviously, ranks even higher. I have nothing further to say

you can also look at modellbaucentrelorenz.de he has a big collection of ABC props (also 1717-17) and a super service

Panther,

Have you maybe considered that perhaps you are the issue? You seem to whine like an ex gf that I had. Really. I call it how I see it. Having crossed over from rc car speedrunning into boats, I am a newbie to the hobby. In my quest for props, I too ordered from Dasboata. I can say that all six of my dealings with him have been nothing short of how they should be--that is prompt and excellent communication, professionalism, and to the point. I couldnt ask for anything more.
As it relates to his price, dont purchase if something is out of your price range or maybe get out of the hobby...better yet, do your own props. Never judge someone by what they charge, buy elsewhere if you dont like it...it's that simple.

I have nothing more to say but felt compelled to as I received nothing but great service and excellent products. Let it be known. Chris also miscalculated and was honest about refunding a price discrepency...told him he should have kept it. Have a good day.

[dasboata]

I'm disappointed the Administrators didn't take down this guys unconsolidated post about his opinion of me some one was just asking about props and he goes and right a novel about me , because I would not sell him props, Im a big boy I certainly can dish it out so I can take it but it was just uncalled for here !!

[Diegoboy]

If his post was categorized as "member bashing", it would have been taken down. There is a very thin line between bashing and opinion.

One person's opinion does not make it fact.
