They are big here in Sweden, a lot of bashers use them. Their batteries are dirt cheap so a lot of Swedes have dealt with them. (I only buy IFMAR approved batteries.) From what I understand from our Swedish forum, most people hare happy with them and recommend them to others. The only downside appears to be that if items are not in stock, there is no idea to order them as the time for them to restock can vary from a day to several weeks.

I have personally only bought one item from them and that arrived well packed in two weeks time (no EMS). It was a servo slow module packed in a box big enough to fit four 1:10 buggy tires.

Please note that the have a warehouse in Germany and that they will ship some parts from that warehouse in order to skip customs. However, it appears only selected items are aviable through Germany.
