Crazy I love that side of the hobby. It was the reason I jumped in.  I'm hoping the 3D printer will resurrect the rc old days buy this part buy that part print the rest. 

Anyone see that all diy 4 stroke nitro evo on youtube its incredible. Absolutely incredible. Nevermind next level its next gen. 

Guy wanted a lightweight chassis that would stand up to being jumped that far and high and if it broke, no big deal. Pretty much everything else breaks or bends anyway unless you land perfectly with that size of jump. Even a perfect landing will often blow out shock caps. Seen it destroy every make and model used so far. 

Good ply has flex and is very strong... it's just natural carbon fibre really

Shame it come to it, but I’ve always said a true reflection of a company’s worth is how they deal with things when the poop hits the fan......

Yeah, it's a sad state. I compare this to KillerRC who without question sent me a replacement SuperBee after rcmodelz wouldn't replace it themselves despite giving them a video of it not working and stating I'd send it back.

The last UK RC company that seems to have any concept of customer service is RCmax.  

proper ashamed of mark as a bristolian tbh mond heard things before too  i spoke to ben about it

Worth a shot 👍👍

defo worth a shot it should show u sent it off and it arriving at his address his problem if its the wrong one tbf go for it mond long as u got all your tracking details cant see then deciding anything else

Bad service rather than con artist lol. But yh go PayPal they've sorted me out on real con artist a huge wardrobe they knew was faulty split panels. Multiple reports. Like they got them bargain cheap cheap then knocked them out on ebay. 

They told me to either live with it or pay for return shipping on like 70kg. Mirrors alone were like 30kg. They knew I wouldn't return it. 

PayPal told them to either collect it or dont. Theyll refund me either way lol. They collected it within two days. 

PayPal claim time?

Never thought I'd say that against Mark but there seems to have been a serious mix up with addresses on his behalf.

Yeah,  I think I will. I'll give him 24h to respond to me but if I didn't know the uber name I'd call him a con artist selling dodgy goods. 

sounds fair i heard hes going to bashfest this year mark is i dont speak to him much anymore mond will have a word with matty and see if he can have a word etc

Marks usually brilliant to be fair, dealt with him many many times, I'm sure he'll get it sorted, does seem a bit of a farce though.

@Oh How Original A farce yes and I have to spend another 30 quid to buy a new battery and servo try so I can race at the local tracks first event in 3 weeks. There is a good possibilty of my 5ive  appearing on a youtube channel with 300k subs then too. Would have been a great advert for him. 

I'm afraid we don't really speak anymore, otherwise I'd have sent him a message to try and resolve it asap.

It might be worth trying to contact him through Facebook/messenger. I would have thought you would have heard from him by now though.

Will give it a go.

He responded and will be with me Saturday.

It would have turned to dust ???

Perhaps all drive in the same direction? ??

This suggestion was made afterwards in good humour.

I think it must be the 8th scale motors made in the USA then, I know one 'range' of motors is, or at least they claim it is.

That's the irony of these 'fake' Castle motors being so good... People get so caught up on a brand, where as actually, the Castle ones are probably the exact same materials and quality internally as the £25 jobbies.

I think there's a Holmes hobbies video on that. The Chinese clones have different stator and magnets. 

Different doesn't always mean inferior though, I mean, we've blown two genuine Castle motors very prematurely, to the point they were deemed not fit to repair by Castle and were both replaced, good customer service in that sense, but for the price, compared to HobbyWing and Tekin, they shouldn't blow in the first place.

Always use the cheap shipping at RC Mart 

yeah that is the cheapest option, this one is 35usd but the other one is 73usd.

@froggy8 I chose regular air however as someone else pointed out, it gets moved to EMS due to weight. It was free shipping though so didn't have to pay that. Would have been $136 otherwise.

Retailer has first responsibility...they are supposed to sort you out first and then take the issue up with the manufacturer. Shame when that goes wrong.

Good customer service from Killer though, to pick the issue up directly and put it right.

Yeah, I get the replacement but I am disappointed that it will be at least three weeks since notifying rcmodelz that it's broken before a new one will arrive. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt if they had none in stock.

Kent is one of the good guys, Always helps as much as he can

Is that funny?

I thought they produced some good things, or am I thinking of another one that sounds similar? 

And this is the thickness of walls you need, the door for this is pretty big as well

@bertberrI think it's more that I rage quit my job having just bought a house, in a fit of a mid life crisis and I'm trying to conserve my savings. 

Ok, fair enough. Hope it all goes well

nope, I do nothing that would flag it. 

Im glad to here it tbh lol. Hopfully the sorting office is just backed up. Bham area? 

I got some wheels off here theyve been with royal mail a week or 2 and im starting to get nervous. 

I  really hate the feeling of looking like a scammer pretending to not have the goods  or them not sending the goods. I dont think recorded mail was used which just makes it 100% worse. Over £1 difference for reassurance and proof where it is. 

I dont like it but ill wait till the last few days possible then make a claim if needed but im preying i dont need to. 

So this is hope for me lol. I think i dealt with the guy afew times tho. I know hes trusted hope he knows i am lol. Its just a horrible thing. £35 is £35 lol i wont just ok screw it. 

This package is with Parcel Force. I have noticed that if Royal Mail pick it up there's no customs but if Parcel Force get hold of it, it's ransom time.
