DO NOT ORDER FROM ARCHETYPE RACING

[mcinfantry]

He’s not clever, guess he didn’t budget for that engine out service on the 355 and had to close up shop - should have gone with a modern mid engine Ferrari.

Where are all the folks on this forum that vouched for this scam artist the past month?

Worth the wait

Already contacted my CC company and will get the money back within 3 days.

Everyone needs to do this now.

Time to sell that junk Ferrari

Shame, I have their stirrups on my JL and they are a top notch item. The took forever to get last year though (several months, IIRC), and their communication wasn't the best.

Good luck to those with unfulfilled orders, never a good situation.

anyone close to the AR shop? If only we could get access to the chisels that are partially completed lol

Didn’t like his excessive use of the word “sauce”. There, I said it.

Archetype Racing... the Rise and Fall. Wow. It's pretty sad to see a business go down by the bow when their products were really good. Can't add anything else to this sad story. Guess I'm lucky to have ordered during a time period when they had their shit together. Here's what I received. Again, great accessories. People always ask me who made them:

• Badlands Console Badge. Ordered 06 SEP 22 / Shipped 14 OCT 22
• AR SLAP | BPM. Ordered 15 OCT 22 / Delivered 02 NOV 22
• AR | BAM BYODR in "Burnt Titanium" cerakote: Ordered 24 OCT 22 / Shipped 08 NOV 22
• AR | B.A.L.L.S x 3. Ordered 12 DEC 22 / Shipped 27 DEC 22
• Custom Billet Fender Badges. Ordered 04 SEP 23 / Shipped 22 JAN 24

It was during that last order (fender badges) that I began to notice the longer timelines and I would receive emails from time to time advising that there were unexpected delays. I just remained patient and it all worked out but I paused on ordering anything else. Clearly things took a turn for the worse for this company heading into Spring and Summer 2024. Pretty disappointing. They made some really great items. And, I was stoked they were designing a billet Bronco roof rack. The design drafts looked amazing.

It was never a “they” company. It was a dude that operated a CNC machine, stole thousands from his customers, and spent it on himself. Dude was awful from the get-go, hope he goes to jail.

Not sure how no one seems to understand ponzi schemes
The people at the front are always happy. They hit the payout

the problem is
Ponzitype racing ran out of money

poor Ponzi

Looks like the powers that be have stepped in and locked the Gear Jammer thread - how long until this one is locked too? Is discussion about a company who is actively defrauding members of this site against the rules?

I’m going to roll the dice here and if I get banned I get banned

why is a paid sponsor protected and then when it goes south the threads are locked

I know I’ve had a few of my posts deleted as have others for asking questions

I guess I wonder if instead of deleting the questions maybe some people wouldn’t be defrauded

I will say that the white knights and the ‘don’t tell me how to blow my money I earned on fraudulent business practices ‘ people will still do it

I mean you literally have this guy who blew a purchase knowing what was going on. No one was going to stop him

I hope he doesn’t file a dispute, you know in case they make his
