(snickering)I never heard of them. I say stick with stores that you know are okay to deal with, especially with good customer service and decent return policies. Otherwise, dont take the risk.

I dont know how I got myself into their mailing list. But I get their emails from time to time about their special deals.
You guys are correct they ship direct from China. They also have an ebay store. You can also buy wholesale from them.

I know this first hand, I have bought from e-stores from china sich as Dinballs' RCMart and from STS Engines. Those took forever to get to me since the customs inspection got in the way.
If you aer going to buy from this swang store, I say buy from DinBall insetad. RCMart is much more reputable and well known and they actually take measures to provide decent customer service.

Yeah, I"m sure the battery's ratings are too low, maybe 15C. You want at least 20C and the brushless combos are probably for helicopters and airplanes, now cars and trucks.
Could you get links to what it is you want?

Hm, I guess there's nothing to lose. Hopefully the batts perform as listed.
As far as the $68 esc/motor combo. If you're looking at the ez-run setup, it only have a constant 35amp rating (traxxas, etc normally are around 100), so it may overheat in normal off-road conditions. Give it a shot though, It may be fun for a while, especially for the price.

I also suggest he read thoroughly their return and refund policies. Afterall, considering $68 will fill up my gas tank for teh week, that is no small amount of change to throw away.
