Clear and easy
December 4, 2021

Easy to navigate website, good clear descriptions & good value pricing. No need for additional packs to make the car useable! Hopefully the product will live up to this positive start! I'd love to be able to share this shop to others as there aren't many left!

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.

Rc tank ordered for son's birthday present, corroded pins in track caused failure on first use. Sent back for repair. Returned in damaged state so I asked for a refund or new tank. They refused to cooperate so I got my credit card company to do a chargeback. Nitrotek sent s courier to pick up the tank and then issued a summons to take me to court. I attended but they didn't. The case was struck out. Barge pole.

Cyclone Pro
July 8, 2020

At first, the car didn't start so I was starting to feel worried. After some thinking and hair drying later, got the car to start perfectly and is now running in. Got it to go around the garden a couple of times and I am very happy. Thank you nitrotek :).

Having bought a bugcrusher car from this company and run it twice I was disappointed to find the front hub was. Split, trying to get a new one proved impossible so this car is now earmarked for spares only.
After trawling through parts for helicopters, electric bikes I eventually found the part but was unable to get it because despite showing one in stock whenever I tried to put it in basket it came up part not found unavailable. It is also not worth calling because the number given is an office where they have no idea about parts

I have been buying from them over the past 5 years of my life. I have gone through different hobbies from RC cars, to boats, to planes, to helicopters, to model tanks, and plastic models. They have always had what I want. If they don't, they will order for me. Once my car had a problem with the shaft, and they fixed it for free, and only charged me with the price of the part.

Nitrotek is a hidden treasure chest for the radio control enthusiast. They have a large selection of high end RC aircraft, cars, monster trucks, and some boats, in stock. They also has a large inventory of spare parts and radios.

Killer models
February 3, 2016

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!

Pretty cool hobby shop
December 2, 2015

Pretty cool hobby shop. Seems like they've got everything from model cars, planes, and boats to drones and collectibles. I can usually get whatever I need here, and if they don't have what you want they can often pre order if for you.

Wish I had a time machine to go back in time and stop me from buying from this company. At xmas I purchased 2 rc tanks, when they arrived initially they both worked for approx. 1 hours of play and they just died, no power to them at all. Tried for days to get through to there telephone line and was greeted by useless staff at the other end, used there online support, wish takes days to get a response and when you do its point less and useless, im still trying to get the item returned after months of trying but they are trying their hardest to stop this from happening! Reported them to trading standards and will speak to paypal next week to see if I can get a chargeback.

I have bought two cars from here my son's happily got on xmas day and neither work, my son's are so disappointed, so I then spend two hours on the phone held in a queue on boxing day to only then be cut off. I don't know what to do, or how to get in contact with this company as now the phone just cuts off. I am sure this company is a conning company. I will be going straight to trading standards and

Loads and loads of different hobby stuff here. Great for big kids, too, like me. I like the RC airplanes, and the selection here is pretty good with lots of accessories. If you're into any r/c hobbies of the kind catered to here, you'll certainly find some things you will love.

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.
