Banzai is good people. I have known him for quite a few years now and he's safe to buy from with good stuff.

I ordered motor mount adaptors, recieved them quick.



The quality, fit, and finish of the parts leave much to be desired. Sloppy cuts, parts were painted over welding splatter, and grime in general. 5 mins at a wire wheel before painting is all it would have taken if your bieng lazy. But not even that.



I would avoid buying from them in the future.

This mount looks as if it was made with scrap material...

You get what you pay for.



Looks like about 10 bucks worth of steel, and just as much in labour.

You paid 220 bucks for 1/8" thick piece of scrap? LOL





Do you know how many more sets they will build with your 220 bucks? At least they understand what the term profit margin means.





Are welders hard to come by in the US, or what?!

Not at all hard to come by, but the time for me to mock it up is.
