bluestringer Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Has anyone done business with MAD? How was your experience? I ordered from them 2 weeks ago and have not heard anything from them.
MeatMan Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 I've done a lot of business with MAD over the years with nary a problem. He doesn't stock product, so it will take some time to put your order together. He's a good guy and very reliable. He's also on this forum and may see your post.

I ordered from them 2 weeks ago and have not heard anything from them. Ditto what "Meatman" said James. The wired distributors are great. You may have to email Kris a couple times but he has always gotten back to me. And yep, sometimes there is a bit of a delay in getting parts shipped.

StevenGuthmiller Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Of all of the after market parts providers out there, Kris is one of them that you don’t have to worry about. Steve 1
Bucky Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) I agree with the other fellas. Kris is great to do business with. The only wired distributors I use come from MAD. Edited September 8, 2022 by Bucky
Classicgas Posted September 8, 2022 Posted September 8, 2022 Yep. Top notch. Good things are worth waiting for.
Keef Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Contacted them a couple months ago about pricing and availability of their 79 Mustang coupe transkit. Asked if the Revell Fox body coupe kit would work as a donor. Still haven’t heard anything back from them.

Wanted to try them out. I have used distributors from Connkur and thought they were good. I then tried making my own, but I don't like how they turn out most of the time.
bluestringer Posted September 9, 2022 Author Posted September 9, 2022 Thanks all. No hurry, so I'll keep waiting. Was just wondering.

Mr. Metallic Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 I've been buying from MAD for years, but placed my first online order earlier this year. Got a confirmation email right away, and then about 5-6 weeks later I got an email that my items had shipped. His distributors and magnetos are the only thing I use anymore. Can't beat the realistic look at the price point with no work. Rep+Min makes beautifully cast distributors, but you still have to wire them. MAD's are just as nice, but without the labor.

Wow, I'm pretty amazed that people are waiting so long for items.from Kris. About all my purchases have been distributors and I don't think I've had to wait more than 2 weeks for an order to be shipped.
TransAmMike Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Not to take business away from Kris, but I needed MAD wired distributors pretty quickly and ordered the MAD distributors from Spotlight Hobbies. Same price and reasonable shipping. They shipped them the next day after ordering and I got them in just a few days. Great service.

Spotlight get them from Kris so he gets paid for them either way.

Rodent Posted September 9, 2022 Posted September 9, 2022 Very weird,unless Spotlight got them from "a collection" they were reselling.
