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

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.

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?

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. 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.

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.
