Status: offline 		I've ordered batteries and chargers from them and have been well satisfied especially at half the price of anything else. You have to have a lot of patience though, it takes them forever to ship an order and after they have been closed for two or three weeks to celebrate the Chinese new year I'm sure they have orders backed up for miles. Hile direct also has good prices on Mega batteries.

I also have their $25 balance charger and love it.

Status: offline 		Ive ordered from them and like their prices. Shipping took more than two weeks but I wasnt in that big a hurry. I stocked up on the $3.50 servos and bought their Zippy lipo packs 1500, 1800 and 2100. The packs so far has been great. Haulin all my scales so no complaints here. Good run times on the batteries

Status: offline 		I got the HTX 2200 3s 20-30c lipos from them.. I ordered right before they closed for Chinese new year and it was shipped the day before they closed for a week. I opted for the EMS express shipping and it took a week to get here.. their prices are well worth it though.

Status: offline 		I bought a couple of packs from them on Thursday and they arrived today (Wed & six days later). Has to be the fastest shipping of any overseas company.

Btw, I run boats and did a lot of research on RumRunnerRacing. The guys there say these packs are legit and suprisingly good. Hope it works out.

Status: offline 		I have not used this company and am not endorsing them, but there IS this piece of news. The shipping time will likely be made better soon. Form their website:
Local Shipping from Within USA
Our Ohio based logistics centre is almost online and ready to accept orders.
USA customers will soon be able to order items from our store and have them delivered by overnight express or 3 day shipping from within USA at local rates!

Status: offline 		I have ordered from them, had a bad battery and they want me to send it back to hong kong... ummmm that cost nearly as much as the battery. 3 out of 4 batteries is doing pretty good. If they would pay for returns then maybe its option but will order local only from now on

Status: offline 		I know they had a bad batch of batteries before.. lots of batteries puffed before even being charged and all they required at the time was submitting photos of the battery.. what kind of problem do you have? is it puffed? what brand was it?

Status: offline 		Just placed an order with them yesterday and no USA shipping option was available. Went back to buy more today and there it is, a cheap USPS option. Fantastic!

Edit: Just tried to check out and even though the USPS Priority Mail option is shown in the shopping cart, it isn't shown as a choice during the actual checkout! Only international shipping options are shown.
