Just placed order no.39 with them. Apart from the odd tiny problems (that were resolved) I think it's great to have a cheaper option to buy various bits and pieces.
I buy all my 'Quality' gear and kits (although quality is I believe sometimes perceived...) from MB in Leeds as they are local and I believe in supporting my local shop as they support racers at meetings.
That said - they do not sell Quadcopter Gear and I like a bargain, so as well as all my flying gear, i've bought some buggy related bits as well as Lipos recently. I don't think i'd be far wrong suggesting lots of the stuff we buy comes from similar / the same sources in China anyway - you just need to decide if you want to pay double / triple or even quadruple for a different packaging / stickers on many items IMO.
Just bought some of the new Turnigy Performance servo's to try and they look awesome, also some 120amp ESC's for peanuts (Hobbywing inside apparently..) for when I build up my cars for my twin boys.
As anyone who has tried them knows - Turnigy buggy Lipo's are fantastic value - £20 ish a pack - can't argue with that - best lipo's i've used to date.
I sympathise with anyone having to deal with their after sales as it's utter crap. But don't knock them until you have tried them. We are used to paying through the nose for everything in the UK - doesn't necessarily mean it's better gear. You do need to know what you are looking for on the site - as there is a lot of unsuitable / cheaper gear on there too, which does look pretty crap!
