Ok, well I agree with Jedi in this case. You guys criticize WAS's stuff, you do! Look at your old posts about his original intimidator board, and how the emag just "smokes it in every category", or how it was claimed to be substandard. The truth is, it is a faster board than the stock timmy one! From the two intimidators I have shot, one with WAS, one with the stock board (i believe), the WAS setup seemed faster to me. From my standpoint, it did what it was supposed to.
Now as to the superbolt issue, Tom Kaye can be and was blamed for the substandard product that was the superbolt, but thats not the point here. The point is that the superbolt didn't work as advertised either. It simply did not. There are people on this board that can attest to the fact that my superbolt broke MORE paint than my stock bolt, to the point that even with a "technically" working superbolt, the breakage was so bad I was forced to remove it. I believe that it was advertised to "Break far less paint than the stock bolt!" In addition, the "less recoil" that I expected it to provide was marginal, it really wasnt a noticable amount. Talk about products not performing as advertised!
The only reason I am posting in this thread is to defend the fact that Jim Drew has not done anything bad, he hasn't spoken out against AGD's products. Even the claims about his own product are reasonable, and until I see one of you techie wizards prove all his stuff otherwise, I see nothing wrong with the advertising of his products. In addition, I don't see the reasoning for pouncing on him as soon as he suggested the use of his own product. What was he supposed to do? Tell them to stick with Bob Long's boards? He's gotta make his cash too.
Bringing me to my final point. I paid to be a beta tester of both the superbolt I and II, and was thoroughly pissed with the fact that I was really only refunded about 50% with the superbolt trade in for level 10 program. The adverse effects as a result of that POS, including losing twenty bucks plus the broken paint was terrible. At least Jim's product doesn't end up doing the opposite of what it should.
I guess what I'm saying is that there is nothing wrong with WAS's claims. The product is very nice from what I can tell, and the only reason for brining up the Superbolt issue is to show how while AGD can put out a product that didn't live up to its claims, they didn't get jumped on for the LX stuff. Give this guy some breathing room, stop acting ignorant. Don't jump on the guy with statements like "WAS at it again!" and completely bash his products. How do you know they don't perform like he says he does? And whats your problem with his advertising? He's not insulting you is he? Well then don't bother the guy.
