...........and a lot of opinions from a lot of folks about slot cars motors for one thing, and mostly just a lot of CONGECTURE about GPA being incompetent.

All this without some form of defence from Bill or the Captain, or Todd, who is after all the marketing director of the operation.

So, awhile back I asked, how long does alnico remain at usable strength after re-charge? No answer.

Bill H is not the devil.
All the more reason to get stuff like this out in the open and try to figure out all the 'whys and wherefores' and how both the consumer and GPA can avoid them as much as practical in the future.

Well, until somebody proves otherwise, I consider all AlNiCo 5 magnets as one and the same WRT magnetic properties regardless of application and nowhere (so far) have I read any 'conjecture' that GPA is incompetent, only that it has some customer service and possibly some QA issues that at least a few of us believe needs addressing.

Once Bill officially closed the work order by telling Mike to "Just listen to them", how GPA handled it became open for debate same as if you'd paid to have a car repaired and it didn't perform up to spec with no explanation why.

See my earlier responses or better yet, do your own research to ensure there's no 'conjecture'.

One more time, I don't see where anyone has implied anything about Bill's lack of character or that he runs any sort of a 'sleazy' operation, just maybe a bit too casual where at least customer service is concerned, which in no way implies any incompetency. The quality of new driver construction/performance and successful driver restorations are ample proof to the contrary.
