RC Tank Warfare community hobby forum

Hi guys, if you should happen to buy anything from the taigen tanks website, use coupon code AREA51 for a 10% discount on your order.

I tried using it but it was rejected saying invalid code. Two different orders with same result. I even mentioned it to them on the comments section of the order page. Inexpensive purchases it it still sucked.

Erik says the code is working fine and that shouldn't have happened. How did you write it in? It may make a difference if it's all one word or not, and it may be case sensitive. The code is only good for a few more days. Did you place your orders anyway?

Yes and received my order today. Super fast service, awesome products and outstanding customer support. I rate Imex number one for United States rc tank vendor. I entered AREA51.
No biggie. The parts I received were top notch and shipping was supersonic. I have no complaints. It didn’t really suck that bad. The advice I got from Erick made up for it.

Glad you got your stuff and that you're happy. I was told that there was some kind of little glitch over the weekend so if you placed your order then and didn't get the 10% discount send a message to Erik and he will refund it for you.

I've been doing business with imex since 2013 and they've always been very good to me. Unfortunately, they're one of the very, very few reliable vendors in the US. We had a decent vendor on the west coast Who Sold Clark boards, but then he went Bonkers. We also had a very, very good vendor in Oklahoma who had really good stuff, but then he went bonkers. Fortunately for all of us, IMAX still has not gone Bonkers and hopefully never will.

Yes. The RC tank hobby is for sure mainly a European thing and Imex is a godsend for us colonists.

Amen, regarding Erik at Taigen USA, especially his helping out a newbie, such as myself. My parts are here in two days. I just got an order in today, in fact I didn't remember about the code, though and that is on me.

eBay has provided me with several items but sometimes it’s a crapshoot as to shipping time or even if the part is in stock. I’ve tried three times to order a Merit kit of a German 88 flak gun that was listed as in-stock but a week or two later I would get an apology email about how they aren’t available anymore. Same song and dance from three different sellers. The listings remain on eBay to this day. A little disappointing.
I get better service and faster shipping from Forgebear, rctank.de etc but if Imex has what I need it’s a for sure win win.

I use Amazon a lot for stuff like Electronics accessories, jst connectors and such. EBay is great for that kind of thing too. We have mato mart and their eBay identity RC Dynasty in Canada, but the shipping from Canada is still kind of high.
