Default Comet RC??

Has anyone hear of or used these guys? I really want a H.A.R.D hauler bag and transmitter case but don't get any response from email and the mobile phone number is always turned off.

I don't want to get scammed and would like a recommendation if any one has used them or not. Opinions please.

Any one know either way please let me know.

COMET RC HERE

Thank you. How are they? They look well made. I guess it isn't a bogus site then.

Do you know if they can get the matching transmitter bag?

Bags are very good quality I went for the Cheng Ho 10th ones and am very happy with them.
Don't know about the tranny bag

I've e-mailed again and still had no responce. I just want a stock answer from them and if they can get the matching transmitter bag this is the 3rd e-mail.. Is a return e-mail much to ask? They say that the country is in recession but no one gets back to you.

If nothing else the customer service isn't up to much. If I can't get hold of them now what will they be like if there is an issue with the product. Looks like I may have to dig deeper and look at the HUDY even though it is expensive.

Their forum is hopeless too. I had to look up E4 info on RCTech (the delights of one thread per car...oh joy...)

I bought this one from them....

http://pipskiracing.blogspot.com/sea.../HARD%20Racing

The hard stuff is good gear I also have the Magellan 1/10 hauler bag.
They have the Hard Magellan TX bag in stock

I drove for them last season and always found them to be reliable.
I must have made at least 1 or 2 orders a month.
I think they are scaling things down a little at present but I know for sure they are not scammers.

They accept paypal as payment so you would be protected anyway.

Thank you Pip. It would be nice to get a return e-mail even if they don't answer the phone.

Thank you for the reply though.

I also emailed them several times about getting TM replacement tips for my drivers, but no response. They helped me get the drivers originally no problem there.

Please do. PIP do you ever go to their warehouse? I've looked over the internet and It seems like there are alot of people looking for this hauler.


Shame.

Default Comet RC

Have Comet RC gone? I was looking at spares back up for the E4 but the site has gone. Anyone know?
Cheers Paul.

I've just emailed Team Magic (Taiwan) about it, maybe they'll know.

Looks like I have yet more touring cars with no UK support...

I got a response from Team Magic.

subject: Re: CometRC and UK support
Important mainly because of your interaction with messages in the conversation.

Hi Colin ,

Honest speaking we can not contact Comet RC lucky over 1 year. We try to send them the mails and call them directly but didn't have any response.

We hope we can find a new partner in UK .
For now if you need any support of our products, feel free to let us know .

BR,

Team Magic Model
So, any takers? I do like their touring cars...
