I just tried hobby king for the first time a few days ago and SO FAR i'm absolutely nothing but impressed, shipping was very fast, "shipped next morning" faster than tower hobbies has ever been for me which is where I normally order things and was here on the complete opposite side of the country in two days, the lipo I ordered came balanced very close and at a good level, the motor and esc I ordered also work fine so far. I have cycled the battery 4 times and it's great so far. If you noticed I used so far alot, time will tell lol.
