Terry Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me in contacting Hobbies Plus, I'm in need of a chassis jig as mine has just turned its toes up ( me being a little bit too heavy handed I'm afraid), I did notice that Hobbies Plus has that same jig on their web page and I'm very keen to get one ordered. I did leave my details on their web page but as of now they have not yet responded, and at the risk of being a right pain in the ****, I'm keen to pursue and get the deal done. Thanks for any help Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Posted September 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Thanks Mark, I was fairly sure of his christian name, didn't want to embarrass myself by getting that all wrong. Thanks for your help, hopefully Gill will see all this and make contact Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesx Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Hi Terry. I will probably see Gill tomorrow so as backup I will mention your message. Regards Charles Le Breton (charlesx) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted September 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Thanks Charles, Again forum members can be counted on to help out, I'm most grateful, Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlotsNZ Posted September 8, 2023 Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Terry, have you heard back yet? I just realised today - Charles is probably seeing Gill at the 1/24th “Dark Side” Nationals, which started today. They are probably out on the sauce when they aren’t racing. - Two kinds of controller handle, one with springs, the other with malted hops.

Terry Posted September 8, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2023 Not a dicky bird Mark, I'm very patient, I need to be, hopefully Gill will be able to get back to me Thanks for contacting me Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesx Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Hi Terry. Gill was unusually not an entrant to competition (first time I can remember) I attended from 7-11/9 in Wellington so I was unable to follow through with promise. My apologies but I assumed he would be there. If you have not already done so a message to TROPHY on Auslot like Mark suggested might help (he is also on facebook) but I would be inclined to ring or email his business direct. Just go to Hobbies Plus, Palmerston North web site where you can either leave a message, get a NZ phone number or if you can find the items you want just order direct. <sales@hobbiesplus.co.nz> Hope this helps. Please do not hesitate to contact me however if you are unsuccessful. Gill is I believe retired now but often away skiing.

Terry Posted September 11, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 Thanks Charles, I have left a couple of messages for Gill on his web site, funny that you mentioned him going skiing, as somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind do I somehow remember his passion for skiing coming up before, I will wait Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesx Posted September 11, 2023 Report Share Posted September 11, 2023 He got back on 3/9 from a couple of weeks skiing but did not come to Nats as very busy. I imagine he had a backlog of orders to fill. If you found jig on website suggest you just order. Otherwise give him a ring or tell me what you want and I can ring him if you are on West Island.

Terry Posted September 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2023 I have made contact with Gill. seems that there was some glitch in me not receiving his emails, but that has now been resolved and my jig is on its way! Very pleased to have everything resolved in a friendly and efficient manner, Many thanks to you all, and especially to Gill who responded quickly.
