Hey guys i did a search and couldnt come up with anything, but was wondering if this was a good site to buy from and what not let me know if youv had good or bad experiences with their service also how long it took to get there www.lightninghobby.com. Thanks!
 
I Order From Lightning Hobby All The Time. IT doesn't Take Very Long Because Its In Utah And I'm Right By it. So If I Were you I Would Order From There Or Tower.

yeah iv only ordered from tower so far and it has been pretty good.
 
I ordered a tool kit from www.rseetoys.com. The service is not slow and the communication is good too. The only problem is it seems people on this site do not like much about the Smartech products they carry. But it really up to yourself to decide whoever is your favorite vendor. Why just make some contact before you make any orders to see how they respond to you. I believe the communication is very import during the transaction. Also I know www.excelhobby.com. I can tell you that their communication is the worst I have ever had in my whole life!! Good luck.
 
I've really only ordered from www.hobbypeople.net www.stormerhobbies.com and www.horizonhobby.com Hobbypeople was fast and reliable all 3 times, stormer gave me a good deal and was fast, and horizon was fast because their distribution center was a few hours away from me at the time. O, and I've ordered from Bruce at www.rushrc.com he gave me a great deal, and fast shipping on the in-stock items.
 
Good place to order from. It's a good idea to call them first to make sure the part(s) you need are in stock. I found that they do not contact you if a part is on backorder.
 
ok thanks guys ill check it out just wanted to get some info on the site cuz i didnt want to get in a jam with anything and all.
 
Lightning Hobby are good people. I've said this before, but...

My wife bought me about $200 worth of stuff for my maxx for christmas. She did it through lightning. They had a $10 part that was on back order and she didn't realize it when she bought it. They called her the next day to explain the situation and apologized profusely about it. She said it was stuff for christmas (which was 2 weeks away...). So, the guy said they could ship the stuff they do have and send the other part (free shipping) when it arrives.

Well, 2 days later, she received the first package. Then, one day after that, she recieved the part via overnight shipping (again, free of charge).

I do business there whenever I can now.
