Did it come from Blaast? I got a new one from him, a 1000 miles later the damn thing smokes like a bitch. 900 bucks down the drain. It really pisses me off

Well yeah. My experience with this was a little over a year ago. Still pissed about it though, and still wanting to retaliate

this is the second one from blaast, the first fell apart. literally.
it was upgraded to with a bunch of seals and ----.

then he sent me another center section, not upgraded.

im not dealing with him anymore. im over it. not worth the frustration/shipping cost.
