    I have received everything but the Spektrum Accessories Adapter: IC3 Battery / IC5 Device SPMXCA507. so that means i can not charge my batteries, which means i can not fly my aircraft. I have received everything else. and it says next shipment AUGUST, so i have to wait 2 more months!, that sucks!. It doesn't say out of stock, just awaiting shipment.

    I haven't received my items yet as I just placed my order 5 minutes ago, however, the process has been easy to navigate. I wish more items were in stock but that is not specific to Tower Hobbies. Every rc company i have ordered from recently has had this issue.

    Ordered pre-sale item from Amain back in May. This week they abruptly canceled my order and refunded me. Then I purchased another car in stock. Been a week and not shipped. Saw your flash sale and price and hopefully delivery will make me a loyal customer.

    These periodic flash sales are always a good way to get some money out of me. I'm glad you extended it, as I dont always have time to peruse the website in one day - as you can see, my purchase was made near the end of day two. Much appreciated.

    i needed to get a battery and charger, they said they didn't know traxxas as they aren't a dealer,even though I mentioned willing to change current connector still same response. so I got my truck body, asked for paper catalog as I don't always have internet, couldn't get one (strike two).

    Tower used to carry a lot of RC car items, today there is barely anything available. You don't even carry an RC controller with a steering wheel, -all the controllers are "stick" type. You don't carry many brands, even getting a battery for my RC car you have like 3 brands and they are all for RTR kits ....it feels like everything you carry is "toy grade" not "pro" or "hobby level". I only purchase tamiya kits from your co' and that is on rare occassion as you never seem to have anything.
