    i bought a toy car from hobbytron. it cost me $200. i picked up the charger and wondered why it was so light. when i opened it up, it turns out it was empty. the controller was different and the battery pack did not fit.

    I did not read the reviews as I should. I ordered a Airsoft gun 9/13 and heard nothing back for 11 days. Went back online and found that the gun was back ordered. I never did receive a notice of the back order. I will say Hobbytron is very quick to process the credit card transaction. Read the Reviews of Hobbytron.com before you buy!!!

    DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS ONLINE COMPANY!!! Hobbytron are online only and drop ship all purchased products from China. They mailed me an RC speed boat that I did not order and informed me they did so b/c the item I ordered was on backorder - this was WITHOUT my consent (which is illegal). Their customer service (if you want to call it that) is completely non-existent. You'll notice their "LIVE CHAT" feature on the website is ALWAYS disabled and reads "Offline: leave message," and you'll have the ...

    Ordered a simple RC car toy for my son from Hobbytron. It comes quickly, and we charge it for the first time,and it works great. After a few charges, it starts to act sporadically, and and then stops working. No abuse, just stopped working. Hobbytron is the warranty party, and they said Only Toys that have Never worked out of the box are warrantied. If they do work for even a minute and then stop, then they are Out of Warranty. The CS person implied that if you have a bad one, it bette ...

    Terrible service from Hobbytron. My first (and only item I'll ever get from them) arrive defective. It was difficult to contact Hobby Tron to get an RMA #. Once it was returned they said 2-3 weeks to process the return. I can never get through on the phone system and have left several messages.

    Looks like I'm another in a long line of people duped into buying something from hobbytron. I ordered an airsoft gun almost 2 weeks ago. I called last week and asked when it would ship (Yes, I actually managed to get someone on the phone my first try). I was told that the gun had been on backorder, but that a shipment had arrived a day earlier and it would ship in 2-3 days. Funny, it sure didn't say backordered to me when I placed the order! And they sure as heck did charge my credit card rig ...

    I had no problems with Hobbytron, ordered 8 airsoft guns, gun what I asked for, nothing broken. Fairly slow shippers, but good pricing.I read all the bad reviews after placing my order. I was paranoid so I called the company up, they said everything was in stock and would ship on time. I ordered low end spring airsoft guns to gut out and make into laser tag guns, so can't complain on quality.no complaints, despite reviews

    Not taking my own advice I made a purchase from Hobbytron without researching them beforehand. My items never left the mysterious "processing in warehouse" status after 5 days. After spending an entire day trying to contact them I found and internet full of complaints. They charged my card immediately after ordering.I told them that since the item had not shipped and was "processing at warehouse" they could cancel my order and refund my money. They said they couldn't. After I threatened the ...

    Hobbytron sent a horrible airsoft gun. The gun did not work properly and would get jammed on single fire and automatic. I would have to fire my gun upside down for it to work and still full auto didn't work properly. Then once it jammed and used what was supposedly "umjam" my weapon and it broke inside and I couldn't get it out. They mess up orders too. So in all stay away from hobbytron they will not take back faulty gear and they will rip you off, the gun I bought for 65$ on hobbytron I could ...

    I also will never buy from this company again. Make sure you have any returns back to them before 30 days, which also means broken items. If they do not have it within 30 days of the order you're out of luck. No response from voice messages. Finally got a response to an email. They basically have no customer service and do not care. If I were you I would think twice about purchasing from HobbyTron.com

    I will never order from Hobbytron again; if there even are people working there. I left 4 voice mail messages, 5 emails and no response. My items were ordered and charged on my credit card 2 weeks ago and have not received the items or a response. Terrible customer service. Horrible company.

    I don't have a clue what any of the complaints are about Hobbytron. I'm working at a naval base, controlling wildlife which often flees into the water (so I need a boat to chase the animals). I wrecked 3 Baleanoptera musculus boats in 90 days(2 under water and one coughing smoke). I ordered a case of 4 Ed Harvey Vipers and then canceled the order after reading what was posted here. Thankfully, they had already sent out the order just an hour earlier. I got the order quicky with no complaints. I' ...

    I did some shopping around looking for a cheap little electric airsoft gun to play around with, just for fun, and i found what was seemingly a nice little gun on hobbytron, it said it was on clearance for regularly 46.00 but for 23.95. well, i wouldn't pay more than $5 at a swap mart for this! first of all, it claims to come with a 'hi-cap' magazine that holds 110 rounds, but it came with one that holds 20. also, it claimed to shoot at 200 fps, well my neighbour, who's an avid paintball player h ...

    NO customer service what-so-ever. 800# dosen't work, on-line help doesn't work, e-mails ..forget it , they don't respond. BBB rating (F) for numerous and flagrant complaints.

    Hobbytron have yet to respond to my voice messages on their own 800 line. I'm also still waiting for a response to my emails and faxes. Their shipping was poor. They had not used no packing inside the shipping box. My item came scattered throughout the box, one part was bent! I will never order anything again.
