Beware of scammers in this forum

I will try to elaborate why introductions, and 10 posts before PM’s or offering for sale makes a difference.
1 If you introduce yourself, it gives others feed back about You, this opens the door. Also, any scammer spammer is likely not not waste so much time. That is not a given of course.
2 10 posts is enough to establish commitment etc
3 Selling, people are very very trustworthy. Normally not buying $10,000, or any significant, but diyec doesnt need the bad rap or problems.

I have not spent enough time on here, simply reading. Now I am in process of build and will be more frequent. Ive been playing with 18650 batteries for 25+ years. Had NiCad RC cars in the early 80. Many different chargers and some electronics at school. Have some Lotus, and built a few cars and trucks over the years. Have a good auto, metal, composite shop, and a basement with electronic bits.

Hope I can help

Funny thing just happened before posting this reply, a pop up window with a survey for my ISP Telus. Seemed very legitimate, but in the end. They wanted $10 for DHL shipping.
I know the company providing this forum out of Toronto Ontario Canada hosts many forums. I am on about 15 of them. Knowing something about news in Canada, I have seen the same company being sued for hosting porn sites. Canada has no regulations on internet traffic. So…Moderators. Take this with a grain of salt, Participants of diyelectriccar and any forums that are similar to this, served by the same Co. in Toronto be ware. I suspect the CRTC is about to go under the gun for allowing this, and it should stop.
What I am trying to say, is that this Fourm and others like it, linked to the pornohub and others scandal are at risk.
Please dont take my word for it, but too much reliance on bigbrother hosting could be a problem. Obviously Its an easy platform for the Moderators of the Forums and Administrators.
It will be a shame to loose all this work.

A $2000 scam is easily worth 10 postings of "work". Even 100 postings is $400/hr. All you do is hang out where high value goods are sold between like-minded people...99% who are genuine, honest, people.

Our greedy, materialistic, narcissitic society (at least mine) has starved out even decent people -- desperation to survive means we see more of this, not a steady amount. If you've been unemployed, burned off your 401k, and there's no social safety net, the only thing stopping you from doing what you normally would not is fragile integrity, pride, hope, and a little voice in your head your conniving parents planted called a conscience.

The easy answer is not your 12 postings (your lame suggestion equating your post count and talking about RC cars makes you suspect to me 😂), but to pay using PayPal for goods and services. They have a buyer protection guarantee that you get what you bought. The seller pays a small percentage...nobody cares about 3% or 5% on an arbitrarily priced item.

So, you can hang out here for 20 more posts, gain camaraderie by bitching about Telus ((I'm a shareholder in that public company - they have corporate governance requirements) popups, but I'll still be buying your fantastic divorce-forced-lowball-priced electric motor with PayPal Buyer Protection.

Because there are desperate people out there these days with projects that have sat for five years that do need to pay the next mortgage payment and we can help each other out.

There are guys out there who are moving (forced or otherwise), getting divorced, having kids, getting chemo, changing priorities, in over their heads (we'll see more of this as youtubers make it all look easy), who lost a relative building a car they have no interest in but who want some kind of assured legacy, who want to get rid of stuff or see someone finish what was started.

Post away, hopefully good stuff that promotes conversation and engagement here. Telus popups? Nobody gives a f*ck...because the value of the site content is greater than the price they gotta pay. The porn here is in the foreplay of contributing to the excitement, getting past the hard stuff, and being voyeur to others' climax by watching their amps flow....huge, hot, amperes.
