Adrian Smith 1 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Thinking of buying some bits from:- **LINK** Anybody had some experience with these guys. Thanks. Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piers Bowlan Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Never heard of them. Website/products look totally rubbish to my eyes. What do you want to buy Adrian? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin b Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 They appear to be "box sellers". Mainly aimed at model cars. Aeroplanes and associated items seem to be limited. Not a "proper" model shop, but been trading for some time. I personally would prefer to use someone more familiar with aeroplanes, particularly if I was buying something I hadn't seen "in the flesh". You pays your money, - you takes your choice. As they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Colman Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 If I recall correctly, they have a very bad reputation for customer service. As Kevin says, basically box shifters. I would stay well away unless you can't get what you're after from any other outlet. Edited By Steve Colman on 16/11/2019 16:08:30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Smith 1 Posted November 16, 2019 Author Share Posted November 16, 2019 That sounds fairly conclusive!! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Marsh Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I bought a Nitrotek petrol car a few years ago. Know they are fairly local to me, think in Macclesfield where I got it from. A cheap product, had to upgrade the gears and servos, but for the price, ok, and still have it, and the model still runs well even over 10 years later. Still I would prefer to buy from a model shop instead, Steve Webb Models and All Electric RC are near me, and go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funflyerColin Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Have had some dealings with them all positive, was lookig for some esky honeybee spares and bought quite a lot from them with no probs. The spares as far as i could tell were originals with the esky packageing , Mind you that was a couple of years ago now. Just had a quick look they still have spares will prob see what else i may need for the heli.

cymaz Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 The address checks out and there are on google maps so that’s a positive. I’m sure I’ve had stuff off them in the past. If they were liable for poor service, the news would get out pretty quick here. I’ve heard nothing bad.
