from my experience, they were great. I bought a mtx3 kit from them by credit card and they sent it pretty quickly. one thing!!!
just make sure to place an order by PHONE!!! not by online!! I heard it will take a lot longer to process order if you use online ordering system.

They are trustworthy. Like jayjay said, phone in your order.

I also agree that you should phone in your order, but for a different reason... Their website is NOT a secure website, if you order via the web your credit card (and ALL your) information will be sent unencrypted from you to them - *Always* use the phone with them until they change that. It's just poor business practice to have it setup that way, I complain every time I call but..

Other than that, I've had no problems with them at all.

Never had a bad experience with them. Ordered several kits. Great to do business with them.

You could also use tower hobbies. I order from them ALL the time and they are good.

ya, Tower Hobbies is a good site, when you order, you will also get a 1-year subscription, and get catelogs and special deals. So just check them out.
