RE: Is Active Powersports for real?
Just a friendly warning to anyone considering Active Powersports for R/C parts:
Active Powersports (aka Escondido Powersports) will charge your credit card before it ships anything, and since they don't carry any inventory (it's all drop-shipped from distributors) you could receive damaged or broken items and have a difficult time getting any refund or replacement. I 've made two different orders for buggy wheels, and three weeks later they've charged my credit card but silently cancelled both orders without notice.
They offer almost no customer support and seldom answer their service line at (760) 746-0600. Email and form messages generally do not receive any response. During the one time I was able to make phone contact, I was informed that they're not able to complete orders for more than one of any item, as they do not carry inventory and only purchase from distributor overstock.
Their prices are far less than others for a reason: you'll never actually get the product advertised.
