has anyone ever ordered from united hobbies in china??

RE: United hobbies
 

yes.....

RE: United hobbies
 

Did it all go well? im just wondering because im going to order some stuff from them in the near future

RE: United hobbies
 

well.....sort of....took a little longer to get here than i wished, but it did anyway....if you ever do order, make sure what you order is in stock...it takes forever to get back in stock...

RE: United hobbies
 

ok thank you, by the way how long did it take for the order to ge to you?

RE: United hobbies
 

i dont really know....my parents got me something for christmas....all i know is i bought it 2 weeks before christmas and it was there in time to be wrapped up and ready for christmas morning...

RE: United hobbies
 

My orders on in stock items have always been 2 weeks

RE: United hobbies
 

2 weeks is how long it takes for a Tower Order to arrive at my door. That border really slows things down!

do you think that 80amp Hex ESC would work with 6-8 cells nimh?? https://www.unitedhobbies.com/UNITED...idProduct=4315

RE: United hobbies
 

im pretty sure...it will work with up to 25v, so i would think it could work with only 6-8nimh cells....

I ordered a brushless motor and a servo from them 26 days ago while they were in stock, received the Items yesterday to find that they sent me the wrong motor.
I will now have to send it back and wait another 26days. Not happy. 2 months to get a correct order is not great business, but then again they are very very cheap.

RE: United hobbies
 

I purchased 3 li-po's (4100) when they were out of stock. They arrived in stock when they promissed, and to my surprise I got them just a couple of days later. The prices are great, but I still did not try them. I will later this week in my Electric Telemaster, and use them later in the RV-6 (Great Planes Arf) I am finishing. I must say the packs were very well packed:-)

Anyone use their brushless esc's? They sell a 100A for $49.99. I'm sure it's not the best quality, but it's only $49.99

RE: United hobbies
 

they also have the hextronic 120 amp for 50$ as well.....people have tested it before in boats and had good results....read some of the user reviews, some of them used the esc in rc boats....

RE: United hobbies
 

I purchased a cheap controller here: http://www.bphobbies.com/view.asp?id...3&pid=B1818515

I did not try the thing, and I will not have a chance to try it for another 2 weeks:-( But it was cheap, let's hope it will work..

RE: United hobbies
 

i have that same controller, only the 100amp version...ill be trying it out on 24 cells and a feigao 14XL motor...too bad its discontinued now....atleast i got one just in time....

RE: United hobbies
 

I don't recommend you to by in that website. I made 2 orders and none of them arrived due to their fault. Before sending they changed my mail address and the parcel never arrived. When I show them that this is due to their change they told me that I changed the address. Unbelievable!!!! I already have their email saying they were modifying my data ...

I'm at claim phase with them around those 2 orders.

Thank you for listening, Javier.

I'm waiting from 15 Jun just to have a confirmation of my payment by telegraphic transfer. And there is no reply from support staff. Is this way to deal with customer? By my bank statement UH got my money on 19 Jun. UH just not working.

When I ask for bank account instruction all was fast and what now? To contact a lawyer?

RE: United hobbies
 

I buy from UH all the time,if you pay for better shipping the items get to you faster,my last order was for 4 8xl's, 4 Hwing 100amp esc's, 2 hextronic 120's and a bunch of lipo's, they got here in less then a week and when i sent them pics of the dead esc they sent me a replacement no questions asked.

RE: United hobbies
 

When was that?

RE: United hobbies
 

I'm interested in this thread also as they are an advertiser on this site. From what I've seen on some other R/C forum sites, there were a lot of complaints about this company.

RE: United hobbies
 

I checked my order that I placed in October 06 and it appears as though they are getting it done finally. I had a motor on backorder so I just waited till that came before they sent me everything. Still waiting...

RE: United hobbies
 

about 2 weeks ago.

RE: United hobbies
 

This shows that they care about big orders and not small ones. Good sellers care about each sale the same, reguardless of how big the order is. If I am ordering from over seas, they better accept paypal, or I don't order from them. I have ordered plenty of stuff from Hong Kong with no problems.
