Arrived on time and in perfect condition works well, looks and sounds good.
But need to have spare batteries so that you have one on charge while using the tank.

The parcel arrived in good condition due to the very sturdy packaging. Though a couple of days later than expected it was worth the wait! Level of detail really great. A very sturdy tank with a good weight and seems well made. Might get a spare (higher capacity) battery when back in stock... just a matter of swapping them over then instead of waiting to charge.

I purchased a car for my boys 9th birthday which was great then it stopped working literally 5 minutes out the box that's when the hassle starts I bought it around the 10-12-2017 it's now 29-1-18 I still have no car and no refund and to top it all off you cant actually speak to anyone it's all done through email which is convenient for them. Personally I won't be back.

Easy to use site, great upgrades and selection of models. Bought my lad an R. C. Car for Christmas and as it is so damn fast, accidents happen. This site has allowed me to upgrade the weak parts and make it even better and more reliable. From what was a toy, has now turned into a hobby and an addictive one. Keep the fun going.

Poor show Nitrotek :)
January 15, 2018

BEWARE... You would think that if you select hubbox and there is a cost associated with this delivery option that the check out process would alert you to the fact. Not so! If the collection option is selected before the hub box option the collection option is not cancelled and you get confirmation emails for both after check out!. Had to pay another £9 as I cant drive to Manchester and they wont deliver to Hubbox without charge despite accepting my order. Nitrotec not interested. Poor poor show. Not happy. BEWARE. Oredr No *******. My last order unless they refund.

I looked everywhere for an RC shop to sell some WL toy RC car parts and Nitrotek came to the rescue. They have a lot of products to offer and i have used them before. Great service. Thank you

Treated myself to a Taigen T34/85 medium tank from Nitrotek taking advantage of it coming back into stock just in time for their Easter sale. Came within the allotted time and arrived well packed and in full working order. Their advertising makes mention of it now having a 360 degree turret (which it does) but fails to mention that it now also has the V2 electronics pack. The turret motor and the smoke unit now have proportional control and the sound comes from a separate sound card and now includes the sound of the empty shell being ejected after each shot. The new control unit now has an extra button on the right shoulder which triggers the machine gun fire effects and the nearby shoulder switch now turns the smoke unit on and off. All other switches etc. remain as in the previous version. Due to the comparative smaller size of the T34 the smaller than usual battery pack is a little underpowered and the smoke unit is attached to the upper hull with slightly cramped pipe work. The winter camo paint and finish is superb and almost of museum display quality, although it's slightly disappointing that there are no decals supplied. This is my third tank from Nitrotek and so far the experience has been positive.
