Adrian Smith 1 Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I have trying to contact RapidRC in Kent by phone and email, but thus far no response. There is a web item I quite like, but I don't want to part with money until iIconfirm it's a stock item. Hopefully I haven't missed something. Any thoughts?

Adrian Smith 1 Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 It's a real shame that no light can be shed on the situation. It seems that I will end up going to Probuild for a kit, but I would have preferred to give my business to RapidRC Models. That's the way of the world I guess.

john stones 1 - Moderator Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Can't help much Adrian, they have a facebook post dated September 29th, may be worth phoning again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 I've had good service from them in the past but when I was looking to order some servos last week, they had no stock so I went elsewhere. I hope they are not in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Smith 1 Posted November 5, 2022 Author Share Posted November 5, 2022 Thanks,John. As a previous happy customer I thought I would give them first crack. May be I give them another call ........ For various reasons I too have noticed no stock notices on my favourite suppliers, Trevor. I am sure the repeated strikes at Felixstowe are no helping the supply chain. I did have a job finding the right size Dualsky motor + HobbyWing ESC for my next project and I think I bought the last two items in the UK.

Engine Doctor Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 If Justin is on his own he often has to ignore the 0hone to deal with customers etc. Ocassionally I've had to call back a bit later but they are up and running fine .

Richard Leech 3 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Their email address appears not to work at the moment, but I received parts today which were ordered on Friday - so all is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
