I have an everest 10 that I really enjoy but wanted to get into more scale stuff and stumbled on to this webpage https://marvelgadgets.store/ wondering if anyone has dealt with them. seems to good to be true on some of the pricing and the website is a little weird. Anyways thank for any replies and this awesome resource that is RCCRAWLER.COM! |

UHH.... yes definitely weird and seems way too good to be true, TRX4 for $99, 4 tec 2.0 for $69 Those prices are way, way below what they should be I would stay clear of these guys it just seems too fishy. EDIT: The more I look the more interested I am to know what the deal is. look at a page and they offer something like 2 TRX4's and a SCX10.2 for less than $300 thats madness and cant be true. Also at the bottom of their about us page they explain how they're real and not a scam hmmmm legit businesses dont need to say that stuff.  Last edited by HumboldtEF; 08-08-2019 at 04:44 PM. |

This reminds me of the shop where I was thinking of ordering my Enduro: Anyone ever order from "ActiveHobbyz"? All I can say is, "Buyer Beware"... And check out what happens now if you follow the link - pretty sad: https://activehobbyz.myshopify.com/ BTW, both that site and the one in this thread are Shopify sites. EDIT: total horse puckey - cut-n-pasted text from the RTR Mustang 4-Tec image: "Travas honors the unique spirit and attitude of the Ford Mustang with this 1/10 scale replica." TRAVAS?

It's a crazy website and your right no legit company needs to claim they are legit!

They aren't even listing the proper retail price that they claim to be discounting. If someone can tell me a reputable shop to get a TRX-4 Blazer for $238 instead of the $76.90 this place is offering, I'd jump on that like white on rice.

You know the old saying. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Thanks everyone. I think we outed this BS site and hopefully saved someone from getting ripped off.  |

Headquartered in California, USA; sounds like an upstanding group of USA Americans! I'm ready to give them my social security number as confirmation for my credit card payment right now!  |

China based company, shopify account is based in Canada and they say they're in CA. Hum? Just wondering if paypal would do the right thing when scammed  Here's what my search found https://whois.domaintools.com/marvelgadgets.store |
