A lot of unique rc models! They have rc models galore. From drift cars to rc tanks to model airplanes and helicopters. Nitrotek is known for quality that is nearly old-fashioned now. It has quality models that engage kids, courteous customer service.

Nitrotek has an incredible selection of rc models for kids of all ages, exemplary service and very reasonable prices. The selection of goods is as big and impressive. You could probably find EVERY model you've ever dreamed of... tanks, planes and cars, etc. I'm sure there are lots of hard-to-find collectors' items in there.

A cool R/C shop (rc cars and rc planes galore)! They have a great selection of some nice moderate-high end developmental R/C toys. As much as I love their merchandise - I can always buy stuff online like everyone else.

I brought a build it yourself rc car for my son for Xmas. He spent 10 hours building it only to find missing parts / incorrect parts for his model. I phoned the technical support line that was supplied in the manual. After phoning several times you are put in a que longest I spent trying to speak with someone was 2hours 45 minutes. When they did answer I was told thes is a sales line not a technical support line you will need to create a ticket on our website. Once I had created this I then had to wait 7 days for a response. Over the next 3 weeks I did nothing but argue via email about what was wrong with the car. They eventually decided it was the wrong gear had been sent out and said a replacement had been ordered. 7 days later I was still waiting for the missing parts and replacement gear so I emailed them again to ask how long this was going to take. A few days later I get an email back saying the gear is not the problem it's the wrong chassis. This whole drama went on for a total of 2 months to get the replacement parts. Once there's arrived and fitted the car was completed. However it did not work, I emailed again and I was told I had done something wrong and not followed the instructions. After getting no where with this company I took the car to a recommend hobbies shop, who where very helpful and had a lot of business from customers who had brought from these cowboys! For an extra £35 the went through everything electrical and informed me that the program that runs the computer was wrong the fixed this and I have no issues with it since. I will never buy goods for this Cowboy company again they don't like to help or admit there wrong. I advise anybody thinking of buy goods from this company to spend a little more at a local hobby shop to get much better value for money and a hole lot less aggregation and a happy child!

Visit it online looking for a few tools for my rc car. I love to buy model kits and spend the weekend(s) putting them together, so this is the store we always visit to buy our rc models. They have a huge selection of model kits, RC cars, tanks and accessories, kits, and just about everything in-between. I highly recommend Nitrotek!

This is an out of the way hobby shop that deals with RC airplanes. They've never failed to have just the right widget or part I need. Tight quarters, great service, great selection. They always have unique toys. I've had good luck finding parts for Cessna plane and all other "standard" rc parts. Give them a visit.

These guys are great. They have a decent selection of rc car, plane parts and Drones. Prices are very competitive also. Definitely more into the Drones than anything else but they had it all.

What a disgraceful company!

I ordered two nitro remote control cars from you (order number #*******) at considerable expense, over £350,00, for Christmas presents this year. After opening them on Christmas day neither would run despite watching your DVD, visiting your website and watching scores of videos on youtube. Five hours later I decided to give up, causing misery to my son and nephew on Christmas day.
I have been trying the car (Condor pro) constantly since and have discovered that it is not possible to blow through the connection between the rubber tube and the top of the exhaust. The car will start when primed but cuts out almost immediately.
My brother in law has the other car (NBC Truggy) and has informed me he has spent over eight hours since Christmas day trying to start his and although it does occasionally start it also cuts out immediately and is incredibly difficult to start in the first place. Information I have researched from the internet says the car should not be this difficult to start as it comes pre set from the factory.

I have traced one of the problems back to a faulty exhaust (condor pro) The valve that connects the top of the exhaust to the top of the fuel tank is blocked. I spent £49 on a new exhaust from a different shop and the car started immediately, however during the first tank run in the gears stripped themselves without even touching the throttle! Would like either a replacement car or a refund or I will be going to trading standards as I was sold a faulty vehicle. The second car I was sold won't even start despite being primed (nbc truggy) research suggests these cars should not be this impossible to start and I would also like this car replaced or refunded and I will buy from a different company!

This is one of several attempts to contact your company! You have been deleting our emails and our Facebook posts. We have had no response from you.

Unfortunately 0 star ratings aren't available. Their customer service is attrocious, they try and fob you off continually saying customer service do not have telephones and only deal with email, this makes the whole process very painfully slow when dealing with returns/complaints.
My son purchased a 1/20 Airsoft BB RC Tank - USA M60 on July 21st which failed to fire after 6 BB (20 mins including some driving)
It was returned to Nitrotek as soon as possible requesting a refund as the tank failed so soon, and was not satisfactory quality or fit for purpose. It arrived with them within 10 days of purchase after waiting for return numbers and postage etc.
It took them almost 4 weeks to acknowledge its return and refused a refund offering to fix and return it, saying my son had possibly loaded dirty BB (they were brsnd new.) To cut a very long story short it took at least 10 phone calls, and the best part of 30 emails - until late December to get a full refund on the tank and a further week or 2 to get the return postage back.
They are the worst company I have ever dealt with by a very long way, they want to make your claim last so long you quit and take the repaired item back, they held £58 belonging to a dissapointed 14yr old for 5 months. If you have no product issues you may be OK, but my advice - avoid at all costs.

Very cool site. They specialize in model kits but they also have RTR models and some other collectibles. Prices are VERY good, like Amazon good, sometimes even cheaper! Such a top rc shop would recommend this shop to any rc head out here in the town.

Awesome site and selection if you are looking into purchasing anything from a rc cars to a rc planes. Their selection of rc cars is extremely vast and their prices are much better than any store in the town.

I mostly come here for large scale airplanes and they never disappoint. Come by and take a look especially if you are thinking about getting into the hobby.

This place is marvelous. Visit it online today looking for a remote control tank for my nephew. Find a cool Taigen tank. This coolest RC website is filled with windup remote controlled cars, vintage model car kits, helis etc

My kids have this expensive hobby and this is where I go to scratch their itch. You might also find some vintage HSP r/c kits that are long out of production. Great place to pick up really cool gifts. As far as hobby/toy stores go, Nitrotek is about as good as it gets.
