To those whom contacted me about Van's Invent, they have not returned my email or my phone message yet. I am persistant and will keep trying. I will let you know if and when they call me back. Stay Tuned.
Yeah, I know. Not sure what the deal is there. I am starting to get the impression that they don't want to do business with anyone.... they won't get back to me.
I've been wanting to order some bodies from them for quite a while now. That whole "hacker" message on the front page of their site seems really unprofessional. I really hope they are stilling producing bodies and willing to do business.
Nothing, Nada, Zlich...... Dunno what their deal is......... It is reallly sad. Their phone still works and the voice mail says "Vans Invent", but they must not know how to check or return their messages. I'll try a couple more times.
Ira Dahm sold the "Dahm's" name quite a while ago... I wanna say two maybe three years ago (maybe longer, I can't remember). Van's Invent took everything over and from what everyone seems to deduce, at least around here, things have gone downhill since. I (we) only say that as a number of us have tried several means of contacting them and no one calls or emails us back. You would thing with an 40+ body order, as a businessman, you would be all over it and do what you can in a timely manner to fill that order, but......... no one will call us back. It is a shame, they have some nice products.
I tried a lot of ways to contact him, and after a few months I got a response from his email. I am not in a position to buy, but he is willing to sell the molds and remaining shells:
Josh,
If you are still interested in purchasing the body molds...

I saw the other post and I see how this ended up as no big loss. I thought business was all about supplying a demand for a wanted product. Sure looks like there was a demand. If you expect your butt kissed by potential buyers this is what happens.
For those times when you need to look like a dork and an alcoholic at the same time!
I’m starting my 4 day weekend and have ABSOLUTELY nothing I have to do so I took some time this morning to fill a need. It can be very difficult to hold your...

I'm currently trying to reinvent the KRP cars. But one of the soldiers has a 1/10th scale Slider. Since I'm hitting a wall with the KRP car, I'm half tempted to build a scale cage on the slider since Losi screwed it up in the looks department!!!
Lately I have noticed that some individuals are posting replies but it doesnt show that they are online.Is their an option to hide if your online and if so why would anyone feel the need to hide.Why would that option even need to exist.Seems a bit...
If you have been following some of the threads in the Losi section you know I have been looking into getting the XX bulkheads made.
In October at the iHobby show I made one last effort to try and work with Losi. They informed me that all the...

I am officially giving up on running the Parma repro molds. I will do the gear covers for Mini-Mustang and that is all. They won't even give me the time of day. No returned emails or phone calls after trying multiple times in the last 3 months....

Dahms reproductions will get you sued :mrgreen: there’s a thread or two here about that. Ira sold to Vans Invent iirc, and I’m not sure if it was Ira or Vans that was threatening
I'm not a shelfer kinda guy. I like to run my cars. I mistakenly sold my original JRX2 but fortunately found a replacement and have since gone about modernizing it. Here are some pics and what I've done.
The first lexan body I've painted in 20+...

No, I'm not sure where the topshaft came from. I got the shaft from Rick. The spur, slipper pads, plates, spring etc is from a Strike.
With the top shaft that Rick supplied me, you can use any modern Losi slipper setup. I had an extra XX and Strike...
