If you want to see the flood Dick you need to look at some other forums, mainly Hobby King exclusive forums. As for me, I had several transactions with Hobby King that went well but in the end I had one really bad transaction and two outright disasters. It is the disastrous transactions that bring me here because as you pointed out " RCU forums have long been a great place for exchanging information good and bad."
So here we are exchanging information both good and bad. however if you do happen to look at some of the other forums you will find that there are a great many dissatisfied customers and that should tell you something about this company. they seem to have more complaints and dissatisfied customers than any other large hobby company that I have seen.
