Planet Minis

tysonb · 10-04-2009, 05:21 PM

Ok guys here's the deal, I ordered a set of T3 plastics (crf70) style at fasterminis for my motovert because everyone on here said they were decent plastics, but my side panel shattered/cracked and I didn't even wreck it, I can't even explain why it cracked???? Then today I nosed a double and the front fender just snapped and cracked just like the cheap ebay and china junk!

Is this a fluke? or did I pay 90 bucks for cheap plastic that I should have paid 20 dollars for on egay?

Just need some decent imput here, I'm at a loss, I emailed faster minis but haven't heard back, I re-read their ad it says this: Finally there is an alternative to the plain and expensive OEM plastic for the CRF70!

This isnt your run of the mill cheap knock off plastic. This is high quality injection molded plastic that meets or exceeds OEM standards and available in 6 different colors.

It did not meet OEM standards IMO.

Give me some feedback.

The new plastic on my ssr is almost as good as oem.

i just installed t3 plastics for my 50 from faster minis also and the quality sux. i do not recommend them at all. the holes didnt even match up and i had drill some of my own to make them fit and my front fender was warped when i received it.

same here my girlfriend order'd some from faster minis for her klx the rear fender didnt come close to fitting and the front fender didnt have holes drilled..the number plates were way off with the holes as well...just a crappy set of plastics...even dont care for there gripper seat covers... t3 big thumbs down

wow a yr ago i ordered t3 plastics and they fix and worked very well (klx110 style) .
the side plates did have a weird groove in them like abend when pulled from the mold but the back grounds covered them well.
i am suprised your cracked and you had to drill holes.

I contacted faster minis about the problem but I didn't get any response as of yet.

Does UFO make crf70 plastics?
I know maier does but where can you get them beside their web site?

Contact grafixx. Or call up pax, and see if you cant get something from acerbies or ufo.

Actually try reeg. They used to stock 70 plastic.

tysonb · 10-05-2009, 07:29 AM

I've sent PM's and email's to everyone you said, now it's a waiting game, I won't be buying anymore T3's for the rest of my life..... very dissapointing

tysonb · 10-05-2009, 06:49 PM

So here is an amazing update!

The owner of Faster Minis emailed me back and said that they can't replace plastic everytime it breaks or they wouldn't make any money. Which makes total sense to me, but then to my amazement he says he's gonna send me a new set!!!!

HOLY COW!!!!!! I never dreamed that would happen, so this is a public shout out to Faster Minis saying thank you!

It still blows my mind how awesome this sport is, especially when you bump into good people like Bret.

My day was going real sucky till five minutes ago, now I feel pretty lucky.

R3CKL3SS · 10-05-2009, 06:55 PM

wow thats good to hear

magiksc · 10-05-2009, 07:25 PM

Thats cool they are replacing it but is it a better quality? I hope so.

magiksc · 10-06-2009, 12:15 AM

Oh well you gotta love minis!

tysonb · 10-06-2009, 06:36 AM

JJW even though I'm getting this extra set I'm still gonna break em (cause I wreck all the time it seems) so I'd still like to try yours out, pm the prices!

And post that vid of Magisksc's crash that'd be awesome to see!

I'm hoping I got a fluke set of plastics and that the new set will hold up.
