Default Swedish Ops - Robert Jackson out of Jail and Flipping Cars

Let the Buyer Beware: Robert Jackson, is back after getting out of jail and is now flipping specials like a fake #4 red car racing car, Datson 240z's, and other sports cars on Bring-A-Trailer.

Check out his Facebook page where his whereabouts are not listed https://www.facebook.com/robert.jackson.71697

Do check out the forth video on the top row of him where he makes sure he gets plenty of face time in the cheesy number four red fakey-do racing car. https://www.facebook.com/robert.jack...5%3A1531497327

Be sure to views these Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tninKGOs2Lo

Sadly the bloke could have made a fortune..particularly with the front end set up.
Tragic for those waiting for their items/money.
As for justice...well if its anything like the UK those seeking it will be sorely disappointed

It was not very well designed so no big loss that they are not available.

i think the front end kit was the main issue. Reading what some of his customers wrote he did no R+D so geometry all wrong, scrub radius etc, so drove like a pig. course by then he had money in his pocket...rest is history.

Looking at various videos, his own car appeared to drive pretty well. Perhaps he applied some tweaks to that car.

Just changing the shocks and springs makes a Amazon drive pretty damm well. It not perfect but works well enough.
The ScamishOps kit does offer more clearance for wider engines, adjustable height and a good selection of brakes
There were problems with the lower wishbones being weak and cracking (in fairness he did say replacements were being sent out)
Wisbone lengths were far from optimal and some of the mountings were on teh weak side for the power levels intended
