Hobbycity
 
Has anybody done buissness with them and reccomends them? Let me know!

Absolutely.

I have ordered from them 3 times so far and from now on if they have a product I want they will always be the first place I look to.
The shipping can be slow if you don't get it from the USA warehouse, but for the price I am not complaining at all.
Some people will say what they want about how you get what you pay for, but I think they are just mad because they paid triple what HC charges. I have several Lipos and 2 chargers with repeated cycles almost daily and not a single problem or drop in performance. Highly recommended.

I hate to sound like I work for them, but price kept me out of the Lipo market for a long time. Now I can enjoy the benifits. Just to add it in there I do also have some over priced "name brand" Lipos to compare, and I cant tell a difference.

Done plenty of business with them and the prices are good but be prepared to wait 10 days to 2 weeks for delivery unless you want to pay an exorbitant shipping rate.

Couple of the advertisers here sell basically the same stuff for the same prices and they are here in California. Both Hobbypartz and NitroRCX are the same company.

just be patient. i ordered a car little while back and same time ordered batteries from hobbycity. car got to me 1st got it prepped then couple days later got the packs:nod:to save that dough was nice though.

iv ended up looking at those california based hob city once or twice never needed anything at that time.il remember those though no doubt. are those exact websites? thx

i've ordered plenty from them.

they are completely legit but shipping does take awhile unless you kick up the extra money for fast shipping which can get pricey. If you do it only takes a week or less

I've ordered from them 3 times (soon to be 4) and paid for the fast shipping twice, I had my order in 4 days one time and 5 days the 2nd time. The last time I took standard shipping amnd got my order 15days after placing it.

You need to know what you are buying and try to make sure what you're ordering is right - returning stuff is not much of an option.


If they have something I want, I wouldn't hesitate to order from them.

I have been looking around at Hobbypartz and the other NitroRCX, but they don't have all of the same items as HC. Some of the electronics are the same, and some of the prices are slightly better. When you factor in shipping, some items may be cheaper from them. But I dont see the same batteries that HC carries, and I don't see nearly as many products. HC gives much more information about their products too. A discussion forum for their products is right there on the site. I'm not one to send my money somewhere else when I could get it right here, but I don't see any comparison here.

I also forgot to mention. When placing a larger order, the fast shipping was only $2 more than standard.

If these work out it will be great. they are a quarter of the price of some maxamps....

R-E-A-P-E-R- 07-22-2009 11:03 AM

7 days, pretty damn good. These packs look great. The first one is on the charger right now. If these turn out to be good then these are the absolute best deal out there.
