to all you newcomers to the hobby, nitrotek are ***e
« on: October 18, 2008, 02:57:26 AM »
if you are realatively new to this hobby (as i was a couple of years ago) and are looking for something just to get started with and have a good old bash with,stick with the mainstream names such as hobao,hpi or hong nor they all offer value for money and most of all  good after sales (especially if you use modelsport.co.uk)
about 18 months ago i bought the vrx pro and a good friend of mine bought the vrx truggy, both had really *** electric packs didnt even last 1/2 a gallon. when we challenged nitrotek about this they offered nothing but verbal abuse and court case threats their web site looks the part, but dont be fooled by ***ty imitations. if you buy one of these kits from nitrotek be prepared to replace the electrics and handset almost straight away (as well as any thing else that goes wrong)another £100-£150+.dont learn the hard way (like we did) if you just want some fun on a weekend :--

Well actually there not that bad I got the acme conquistador from nitrotek and have had no problems with any oders placed right from the first being the truck and acessories to spares parts and upgrades and there after sales service is good. As this was my first nitro car I had a few teething problems so i called there expert line and got the result I wanted they even called me back to give me the information I required to resolve my problem and never regreted buying from them for the money you pay there good value and excellent for beginers well thats opinion I give nitrotek the O0 O0

Out of interest what problems did you have? I know the supplied radio gear is only fit for the bin, however the rest of the car is pretty good imo
