“Fantastic Shopping experience ”

★★★★★

written by Anthonyward on 03/04/2017

Just been on the website to order some new part for my RC car, found all the parts I needed as very easily. It took me less than 5 minutes to find exactly whet I needed. I recommend you buy your models and parts from Nitrotek and NOT other sites like eb_y they are a very trustworthy company with loads of very happy customers and always on hand to help via live chat or phone should you need it.

“GS Racing Storm CLX Pro 1/8th Nitro RC Buggy KIT”

★★★★★

written by Winst on 16/03/2017

Firstly, and most importantly when buying remotely, I found the NitroTek website to be intuitive, easy to use and well laid out. Being a novice I was looking for an entry level nitro or petrol self build-kit. This was really easy to find, and even had two options of a "bare bones" kit, or in a bundle with everything included. I was particularly impressed with the upgrade options quoted on the same webpage, for a beginner this is great. Also the fact that NitroTek have taken the time to produce both a desktop and mobile website makes the whole experience much easier. For anything not listed in the comprehensive data online I found the tool for asking questions easy to find, plus the reply was prompt accurate and unambiguous. The prices are competitive, and the delivery options are comprehensive to say the least, of particular importance is the free delivery service to a local news agent, which is easy to find by just entering your post code. All in all a great purchasing experience and I can't wait to receive the goods, rest assured I will write a review on the kit, ease of build and performance. Many thanks to the team at NitroTek.

“Micro Drone Hubsan X4”

★★★★★

written by S-Pipo on 02/02/2017

Great service and quick delivery, the item was well packed and arrived with perfect timing and the drone is exactly as described. I just fly it a few time, it's very hard to control as this is not a toy and the controls are a pro version, I will definitely refine my pilot skill and upgrade to the X4 FVP as soon as I'm good enough. The Transmitter works great and the manual is working perfectly. I would probably recommend to buy a few set of extra propellers if your are not a professional as a set will last short. This is way a more serious item than I expected. I cannot wait to try other items to test from Nitrotek.

“Seems good value, time will tell.”

★★★★★

written by Hazza72 on 28/10/2016

Spoilt for choice here couldn't decide what to by, erm, my son for Christmas. Was able to browse at leisure, various companies, Nitrotec offered more for your money. Would like the ability to select the components for the vehicle prior to purchasing, pros and cons of each component with suitability advice.etc. brushed, brushless, lipo or ni.mh. Power to weight ratios, brushless may be too much for lighter cars and nimh may be sufficient also(at a lower budget) for younger users. It would be an idea to indicate the battery connections and have options for additional ones for the model purchased as it will be the most annoying thing with the electric vehicles. Have seen a one star review on here which is disappointing, I hope when I receive the car I wont feel I have to do the same.

“Wow what a great product and service ”

★★★★★

written by on 25/01/2016

Not a bad thing to say about nitrotek great product and also fast delivery no problems. The description of the product was spot on and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to buy an rc car. The website is great gives you all the facts and features about the product and is any easy website to use also it's great because if anything does happen to the car they have another section of the website were you can buy all spares parts from them just in case anything does break or go on the product the price of the spares is also cheap and they don't rob you like a lot of other places would if the car breaks. So I would defiantly recommend this website and company.

While I agree with good pricing and fast delivery, I have to tell you that when something does go wrong this is the most unhelpful and shambolic company I've ever dealt with. The battery on my son's RC car stopped charging a couple of weeks after we bought it. Eventually they told me that I should send it back for testing (which I did at my own cost). Three weeks later it's still "in the queue" waiting to be examined. This bunch of muppets have no idea what customer service means, and they don't deserve anyone's business - AVOID

Quick delivery, item as described (Taigen Tiger I RC Tank), great customers services if you need to talk to them as I have on a previous occasion. My son will now have hours of fun ahead of him playing with the new RC tank, thanks!

“Nitotek is awesome!”

★★★★★

written by 1710tco on 14/12/2015

Nitrotek is a really easy website to use. Found what my son wanted cheaper than elsewhere and even got a free bottle of fuel. Got a further £5 off by following them on Facebook and free next day delivery. Awesome!

Excellent selection of r/c cars, found exactly what I wanted and couldn't find anything similar for a better price anywhere else. Free delivery too which is always a nice bonus. Good online videos of products make it easy to see what you're getting.

“Marauder Desert Buggy”

★★★★★

written by richardcolton1ntlworld.com on 19/08/2015

This was the second time I have used Nitrotek and on both occasions I have found their service and products to be of a very high standard. The model was ordered at 12.00 on Thursday and arrived at 07.40 on Friday, thus justifying their claim of next working day delivery if ordered before 13.00. The car itself is awesome and does exactly what it is supposed to and seems to be very robust. The only comment would be to purchase a spare battery as the one supplied doesn't last very long and takes 5 hours to recharge. We went to our local model shop and purchased a 5000mah battery and charger. The one supplied with the car would have taken 20 hours to charge it so if you are buying a larger capacity battery you will need a different charger.

i don't understand what your saying abou the battery and charger your saying the battery that came with it takes 5 hours to recharge and your saying it takes 20 to charge. just for clarity because I'm after buying one myself and after 2and a half hours charging there still isn't enough power in it to turn the wheels.

Written on: 23/12/2015

My son bought a higher MAH battery from our local model shop. Whilst the charger which comes with the car is ok for the battery that comes with it if you want to buy a bigger battery which will last longer you will need to buy a different charger. Just to say about their after sales service: Its non-existent. If the car develops a fault they don't want to know. Personally I wouldn't use them again, their products may be a good price but the service is awful. I suggest you take a look at what other people have put about them and decide. I would recommend Howes Models. They are more expensive but their service is much better. Hope this helps.

I'm glad they replaced my r/c helicopter after I found it did not operate properly out of the box. It was replaced with a new one. Thank You!

Hi, this varies, from 48hrs to 2 weeks, depending on stock availability. Their site usually tells you availability, but is not always 100% accurate.

I,am not all that experienced regarding transmitters / receivers however providing they are on the same frequency I think they should work. best to get the opinion of an expert

Using the same frequency is rarely an indication of compatibility, unfortunately.
