Has anyone ever ordered a transmitter or anything else from them? I still plan on getting a Spectrum DX5e, but their prices on their radios seem pretty good, and since hobbyking is always on backorder, I thought these might make a good backup radio.

I have usedHobbypartz a few times - I think they are fine. They are similar in a way to Hobbyking, but are US-based with a little higher prices as expected. There stock is mostly chinese brands, many of the same or rebranded items as Hobbyking.

I still say that hobbyking is my favorite site for parts although in the last few months almost everything is backordered I think because of some manufacturing problems in China. Anyway, the Hobbyking website isvery well organized with weights and dimensions for everything in a standardized format. Most american hobby websites are poorly organized for parts anyway - you have to look through scores of pages to find what you want. For example servos, you might have to look through every servo they sell to find a digital metal gear with the right speed and torque rating. At Hobbyking you can navigate right to what you want. If they can just get some stock it would be great.

I just ordered 3 NiMH batteries for my micro boat from them.  If you don't hear from me again, the service was good.
