Great Service
December 31, 2020

I recently bought an RC car for my son for Christmas. The website is easy to use, has plenty of product information and loads of advice on which extras to buy. Prompt delivery of the purchase too, I would definitely recommend this site.

December 23, 2020

I bought an RC car for by son via their website in mid November. Its now Xmas Eve and still no show. Crap customer service with no explanation for delay other than blaming COVID-19! Refused a refund by the company!

Nitrotek have not responded to my questioning of where my order even is after emailing and messaging on their Facebook which is not good customer service. I placed my order on the 14th of December at 14.20, i was then forced to pay 10 pound delivery. And still haven't got my parcels a week later and no correspondence either.

My Yama buggy
December 13, 2020

I would like to thank nitro tech for a good service, my buggy arrived on the date that they had said it would. The buggy looks like a great bit of kit although I haven't tried it yet due to the corona virus but I will be out with it as soon as I can. Thanks a lot once again Andy S.

Scam
December 5, 2020

They charged me 500 bucks never called or confirmed my order even though I was charged there no way to contact anyone the refuse to call me after months of waiting for a email. That was condescending and never answered any of my questions. They didn't give me a ticket number. And they just kept asking for one. So don't order from them the number is fake

Be Very Wary
December 3, 2020

Appalling After Sales Service. After agreeing a voucher refund of £49.99 this company have refused to honor the vouchers on a subsequent attempted purchase. Quite simply they have ignored all emails and seem to think this is OK. Be vary wary of this shady outfit

Very good
November 28, 2020

I was looking to build my own nitro car. Nitrotek had the Cyclone in stock and it arrived within a week. Very happy I ordered some upgrades and they also arrived within a week. Good service and they also replied to my emails quickly. No complaints with this site.

The item is being held by UPS, I am unable to speak to UPS directly and Nitrotek are not answering my emails. They have shut their phone line due to coronavirus. Their email states if you email us more than once, we will take longer to reply, so I am in a bad situation not knowing if my item has been sent back by UPS. I need the item to arrive urgently so now I am in a situation where I will need to buy a second item and return the first one if it ever arrives...

Nitro tek
November 11, 2020

Buying items is quick and simple. If you want to return a faulty item however isn't their strong point. I have warrenty on my rc car but won't accept the photos and evidence I have shown them to believe it is covered, they want the whole car shipped to them for inspection when I've already sent them agreed photos.
