    Hobby King...

    For what it is worth, stuff showed up yesterday. About 12 days after shipment. I'll take it. I can't stand soldering..I despise it...and now that is next.

      The problems seem to come from transporting lipos mainly.

        Seems batteries are becoming a problem for us. This shipping BS continues and I'll go back to nitro......
        Have to find out how this Fedex shipping is going to work out, I'm worried about brokerage charges....
        If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

            You have to wonder what this will do to the hobby. When the local LHS wants 158.00 for one grimracer 40c 4s lipo kind of takes the fun out of sport running.

              Don't forget your LHS also gets them from China and has the same delivery problems. Now instead of charging you $158 for a battery they will most likely go to $200 to cover the small extra expense.
