Just seen their banner on here and they are amazingly cheap on some items. Just wanted some thoughts before I commit money?

I've been using them mainly for lipos to my miss geico and mystic rc boat. Some hate the turnigy, but for me they have been awsome. Nano 45-90 ore 65-130c is the best bang for buck lipos I have had, and if you treat them good they will last. Also the airbrush they sell @ 17 $ is pritty good to, I have bought 3 of them. use it on 1/48 1/35 and my 1/16 tanks.

I also got two of the cheap 6ch radio to use with my tam king tiger and jagdpanther. I need no more complex radio, and at some 25$ it's super for me

Shipping speed is so so, the most time consuming part is packing, once the goods are out the door it usually takes some 3-4 days for reach me (Norway) I always use ems, so the package comes to the door, and even with ems the goods turnes out quite a bitt cheaper than lhs shopping here in Norway. I started of with a nipsa and naps order to test them out the first time, tape , strips small tools etc ,and have had 16 orders up to now tot: 1000 us $ +


Good luck

i have used them 3 times. I am in U.S., so it is super fast if the item is in the US warehouse, obviously much slower if it is in UK warehouse. I would recommend them.

i've only used em once, for some orange recievers.
like max said, they took a couple of days to ship but they did keep me updated.
i'd have no fear in using them again but postage to the u.k can be criminal
hope this helps
