Re: Too good to be true?
I always check with Trustpilot, and other sources of reviews, before leaping into potential tank honey-traps.
It's odd how this goes from 'Nutdream- to Rc Trux and then to rc worldstore, as if it's some laundering chain.
Here's a trustpilot review, from a Kevin, for another company that seems to have borrowed some of rcworldstore.com's web presence:
"...THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM
THIS WEBSITE IS A SCAM. I was scrolling through facebook and saw an ad for this website selling rc tanks. Only after scrolling through the website i kept finding links for the website Rcworldstore.com upon further investigating found they literally copied the page on Rcworld and pasted it including the links for Rcworld. This website is fake. Further proof. Upon reading the comments for the ad (facebook) multiple people that did buy said they did not receive the package they bought and rather got a knock-off rc snake. Do not trust them...."
As you say, that price is too good to be true- and anything other than a trap.

Re: Too good to be true?
Well, I did a little digging.
On their about us page, they state they founded their online store in 2008, yet at the bottom of any of their pages, they have this, "© 2020, Nutdreamer Powered by Shopify"
I did a quick Google search of them, "Nutdreamer" for reviews etc, if it wasn't for one hit of a picture of a sloth they're selling, it would be like they didn't exist, not bad for an online shop that's been going for "12" years and would want to be out there and known to make money through sales.
Well, you can pay with PayPal for buyer protection, but you would be opening your PayPal account to pay them while connected to their "secure" site.
Somehow no matter how desperate I would be for a Tiger 1, I think I'd give this a miss.

Re: Too good to be true?
Thank you Mr 43rdRecceReg for your research into their other trading name. They don't even give a physical location or address. Honest online traders usually state a physical location.
Therefore, anyone looking in, do not be fooled or tempted by this, just memorize this as someone to avoid giving money.

Many Thanks. Suspected that there was something rotten in...
