Pore customer service. Hot the wrong product, the supplier uses long respons time with back and front without any action. I can not get the product I ordered and already paid for

The usual high standard of service and competitive pricing I've come to expect from AT Models. A good stock and range of materials, spares and accessories from all the popular manufacturers and all dispatched very quickly too.

Bad customer service

I ordered a car for my son for Christmas and when I went to charge it Christmas Eve they had sent me the wrong charger. After speaking with them I was told to go and buy one local which was 1.5 hours each way on Christmas Eve so I had to pay for 3 hours driving plus parking plus a new cable and they said they will refund me £3. I think it’s crazy how a company can get something so basic wrong. Anyway. I asked for a small good will gesture and was told no. So I would avoid buying as there knowledge is not great. And if you have a problem good luck getting it sorted. I’m out of pocket £45 for there mistake and that doesn’t include my time driving around.

Sorry if the wrong lead was sent and can only apologise for this error

Extremely poor service

Placed an order 4 days ago, paying extra for next day delivery.

Emailed their sales support requesting an update on the order, haven’t received a reply as yet. Also contacted their sales support through a Facebook message, no reply.

I understand the day following my order was New Years Day, although the next 3 days were working days. I haven’t received any update or delivery information from the company.

If I had known the delivery was going to take 6 plus days, I would have ordered it from another supplier and received my order by now.

I certainly wouldn’t recommend this company nor use them again.

DO NOT TRUST THIS WEBSITE

Edit, the product was not brought in October. It was purchased end of November and return requested in December. The request was not honoured at all and you changed the website. Be very careful and definitely do not purchase Christmas gifts from them. They changed the extended Christmas returns policy on their website after contacting them about making a return. Read about other 1 star reviews and you’ll see it’s not the first time they have manipulated their website to try and con a customer. If you do order with them, ensure you take screen prints of everything. Many RC shops out there with much better customer service.

The product was bought in October and a return was being requested in January, we do of course offer returns on products that were ordered in december as these are christmas presents, and have honured all requests presented

AVOID THIS PLACE.

Bought a nitro banzai for a Christmas present, took 2 hours to get it started, followed instruction manual on running engine in, checked everything over, every bolt was loose. Next day it ran for 30 metres and engine came loose damaging the clutch. Is this normal for a brand new car? If i could give you a zero star rating i would be.. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE.... P. S. Run in was followed as in instruction manual... Doesn't say anywhere in instructions about everything will be loose and will need to spend more money getting it set up to actually run more than 5 seconds.

nitro cars need to tuned and warmsed and once run in run great. In discussion with yourselves , it was simply down to the run in process that was not followed. The 2 hours mentioned turned out to fuel not coming through the pipe, and once through I believe all worked OK

Excellent Customer Service, Products and Value…

Excellent Customer Service and Value Products. Supplied me a with Fantastic Design/Flying, Arrows Hobby 50mm EDF pnp BAe Hawk Also the Arrows Vector Units, which while are application specific are great, no adjustment needed. The Vector is a Compact, Elevator and Aileron Gyro Unit. Just ensure your model Aileron Servo setup mounting directions (ie inboard or outboard servo and upper wing or lower wing pushrods), are the same as the Arrows model, specific Vector unit. You can glean Arrows model aileron servo mountings from advertising photos of the specific model. The Elevator stabilising direction can easily be changed simply by mounting servo horn 180deg from original neutral position.

Do not buy from this seller

Purchased Hobao Hyper Mt Sport Plus Nitro as a present, the car arrived faulty and didn't work properly from the start. Have recorded a video, reported the issue promptly to the seller. There were other issues pointing to the fact that I did not receive a new item. Raj, kept implying he sold a fully functional model, refusing to offer any solution despite receiving a video as a proof. I have now opened a dispute to get my money back. Very underhand and unprofessional business, do not buy expensive products. Only purchase from reputable sellers, this one is not it!

started and used the nitro car

When you got fed up trying to break in the nitro engine it was blamed on our ability to refund or take back a used product which just needed to be run in

Sorry if there was a problem, just looking into the order, this left just after the weekend as it was ordered on friday and arrived within a few days after it got stuck at Weston Super Mare DO royal mail office. The order did not take 3 weeks, though it might have felt it, as it went through a weekend
