High quality stuff with all the customization you need. Excellent turn around time and a pleasure to work with. :nod:

I came across this guy and he appears to have some good quality skins. The materials used with these folks/companies are all the same.

These are awesome. Fully customisable too!

I see a lot of people at our races w/ wraps and such.
Not sure if I care for the really loud coloring on my transmitter (like I do on my cars). Considering wrapping in a understated CF texture. ...curious how many of you wrap your transmitters? Can you post photos?

oh wow, they have eddie's guitar pattern ...oh man, i may have to do it:

Has anyone bought from these guys from Aus? How long did it take to get to you?

I recently wrapped mine in a chrome skin. Wasn't the smartest idea. Reflected light straight into my eyes. :lol: It's off now before it shines into someone elses eyes.

They have a lot of nice customize-able skins, I notice that there is a 25% off deal going on now. You can get a custom skin for $24 instead of the $32 they ask. I went through the process and on checkout was a bit surprised by the $10 shipping. I imagine that this can be shipped for $3 or less in a manila envelope, not sure why it's $10 ...but then realized they are in Australia, which may explain the high shipping rate. ...think i'll look for something local. I just don't want to spend $35 on something that won't help my car run better and is 100% bling.

What? They're in California. But they do screw you on shipping.

Stickit1 does excellent work and you normally have your stuff in a week if you pay for priority mail for about $7

This is what turns me away from Upgrade RC:


Average orders take 7 to 14 working days (not including shipping time) Larger orders may take longer. International orders take 2 to 3 weeks. (not including shipping time)
Because I am from Australia I have to wait 2-3 weeks for them to even print it? No thanks.

I'll check out Stickit1.

sorry, got confused reading the post above it about Australia.
Dang, $10 to ship a flat vinyl graphic!! I ship stuff all the time, this should cost $2.50 to ship in a 9x12" envelope ...They are clearly marking it up. I'd pay up to $5 shipping ...but $10 is too much. I was about to place my order until that $10 got tacked on! ...just brings the overall price up too much for something I don't NEED.

eR1c 06-15-2015 01:45 PM

i too will check out "Stickit1."

eR1c 06-15-2015 01:50 PM

ah, stickit1 doesn't have wraps for the Futaba 4PX :(
oh well! ...guess I don't need a wrap.

adrictan 06-15-2015 08:09 PM

Just drop Brian of Stickit1 an email. I'm sure he does a 4PX wrap.

And unless they've changed, they put their own logo in a VERY prominent place on the radio wrap. Shipping time was good, quality was fine.
