Ripped off !!!
Dont ever order from CarbonSpeed they ripped me off $285 !! I ordered a battery off them 3 months ago & didnt receive it & now hearing across forums others have been ripped off also .. It must be some scammer who made up a site to make it look good to rip people off & get all the money they can to race & more

Re: Ripped off !!!
Maybe there is some problem sending batteries from US!!!
If you paid by credit card contact them and advise that you didn't get the goods.
Good luck

Re: Ripped off !!!
Contacted them a few times but they wont reply to emails anymore now that they have what they are after & thats the money .. Wanted to get a small lightweight battery thats only half the weight of a normal battery saves up to 2kg .. easier than buying hundreds of dollars on titanium bolts & stuff like that just to save a few grams instead i thought
plus anyway im 62kg & not thinking of loosing any weight myself

Re: Ripped off !!!
Contact your bank and inform them of the rip off and they might refund your money... worth a try.

The site uses pay pal, don't they offer money back guarantee?

Re: Ripped off !!!
Yeah Paypal & its too late to dispute it all now
But i have been telling a few forums how CarbonSpeed have stuffed me around & emailed the links to CarbonSpeed a week ago to show them what i think
Then today i finally get an email from them saying
Hey man I'm really sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I just got back into town this morning and I'm catching up on a MILLION emails. I ended up back east for a couple of weeks dealing with some family issues. Sorry, I know the wait has been long and communication sparse.
I have an 8-cell for you here, it's shipping today. I'll send you a copy of the shipping docs with the tracking number shortly.
Thanks and please accept my apologies.

Hmmm
takes 3 months to go east hey
Might be in luck soon i hope after i ordered & paid for it on the 1st of December 09
