Anybody dealt with Graphtec R/C from Texas? I ordered gear from them and havent seen it and have been unable to contact them. Their phone just rings and 2 e-mail messages have gone unanswered............. I saw a lot of postings of people who purchased gear for their Reactors who I guess had good luck. I ordered and paid for the gear 2 weeks ago. Its strange I cant get anyone to respond to e-mail and there is no message on the phone.

I've ordered gear from them a couple of times. The first time I ordered, no problem, gear arrived in a couple of days. 2nd time I ordered, I had to call twice in a two week period to get them. I like the gear and the quality is great, but I probably tried to call them about a dozen times to get 2 answers.
And never got a response through e-mail either.
Not sure what's going on there, unless they're at one of the big events like topgun, or going to SEFF.

I finally got a response today saying they shipped the gear yesterday. That means my order sat for a week before anyone bothered to ship it. I guess the gear would have to be pretty outstanding in order for me to order again. I get anything I order from Sig or Balsa usa in 3 days. Even Central who is on the western end of the country gets me stuff in 4 days.......I guess two weeks is too far out for me.

I purchased a gear from him around Christmas time. He never would answer my calls or emails but I received the gear about 10 days after ordering. The quality was good. I would order again from him.

I've ordered from him before several times with good results. I think he makes all the gear. So if it's not in stock it takes a bit longer. But the stuff he puts out is quality.

Best gear on the market in my mind. I have ordered two sets of gear from them and they are top notch. My first set took about ten days the second less than a week. I am pretty sure he makes this stuff to order. I got the same set you are waiting for my Reactor. You will love them and they will take care of the tipping problem that plagues this model.

I had my gear delivered today. I guess it's OK maybe my expectations were too high. The two sides are not uniform in width or shape. The curved profile is even different by about 3/16 in the center if you hold them together and compare. The sides are finish sanded but show some rough sanding underneath. I can finish sand and it will look better but I think it should have been sanded a little better. The high gloss finish would have been excellent had it not been for a big dull sand mark the size of a quarter on one top surface mid way down the leg. I guess they are better than the stock gear at this point but I was looking for a better more professionally finished product. Maybe my experience is different than others. They do look to be sturdy and the laminate looks nice.............
