Highway Toy Store on AliExpress
Posted: Fri Aug 13, 2021 9:34 am
Well, if you are willing to try AliExpress I can -highly- recommend this store; HIGHWAY TOY STORE https://www.aliexpress.com/store/911760 ... 2e0efWY2CX
They are helpful, and got me sorted getting a Stug III running TK6.0. They have a good connection with the Heng Long factory and had the factory actually side-grade my Stug III from TK7.0 to TK6.0 (yes, I am weird... but I like the TK6.0 better). When they had the "upgraded" Stug they sent me picture to confirm what it had become and what they would send me. They also accomodated me by letting me pay partly on AliExpress and partly on Paypal direct to get an invoice showing less than 150 euros so I would not have to pay import duty on top of the VAT and custom fees.
Also bought a King Tiger from them (EU stock, so less hassle importing) and it arrived today, and I ordered LAST FRIDAY. Did the TMTR and found some trouble with the controller. Messaged them and they -IMMEDIATELY- offered to sent me a new controller. That wasn't needed after some trouble-shooting, but there was no question about it.
So switch to today; The problem with the KT's controller was the little plug that connects the two firing buttons to the main board inside the controller. Someone at the factory had tried to put it in the wrong way up, and redid it right. But the grabbing prongs on the plastic of the plug got bent and allowed the plug to wiggle loose. Fixed that, but the fit was not as snug as I would like. Rough handling of the controller would jostle it loose again. I told them about this and said I would see what happened during the test runs.
Today they sent me a PM on AliExpress asking me if the controller was holding up okay. Told them it was okay-ish but probably needed glue. And if they had any of those long metal hubcaps in stock... I had noticed that one was already missing from the start... Immediately got offered a new controller and a couple of those hubcaps as replacement. No fuss, no muss...
Anyway, that's my experience with this particular seller on AliExpress. Your milage may vary. That being said; tell them I sent you... They also informed me that if you do not find what you are looking for in their AliExpress store you should message them directly and they can tell you what else they can arrange for you.
TTFN,
Rob
