I wasn't sure whether I should put this here or in Chit Chat, but Hobbyking is blowing out a ton of stuff, including the Proline Jeep bodies. They're $5 each, though shipping will roughly double that to around $10/each. Still an incredible deal. I just ordered 3. They had the 2 door bodies and the Yeti F150 bodies for $5 each, but both of those sold out before I could check out.



HK is also blowing out a ton of other stuff for some of their discontinued vehicles. I just picked up a huge pile of BZ-444 parts for $.01, and some of their metal upgrade parts for $1 to $2. It's worth going through their bargain bin if you have any of their discontinued vehicles.

Just picked one up. You saved me some money. Even though shipping was $24

(sigh) shipping for me with 1 brushless motor added would run at least $25 to add to the total.

Gonna have to pass on this one...

I waited too long to decide what to do. All sold out now. I was trying to figure out what else I could add to get free shipping. I tried adding the $78 CC01 Bronco, but sadly they can't ship those to the U.S.

They didn't last long, and if that's all you bought the shipping was a killer. I bought 3 along with a bunch of $.01 BZ-444 parts. Shipping was a steep $36, but well worth it for all that I got.

I hate trying to buy from hobby King. Their website is terrible! But wish I would have seen the $5 Jeep bodies. I damn sure woulda snagged at least 2 of them. Oh well wasn't meant to be

[Jim85IROC]

Yeah, their website is barely tolerable on the PC. On a phone, it's awful.

That website makes it feel like you are on dial up internet, click on something and go make a sandwich lol

Forget tracking your order. The number they gave me 'failed' when I tried. Guess I'm just gonna wait on the boat from China.

It was brutal when I filled my cart on sunday. I had 57 things in the cart at one point. I had to save my cart and go finish up on the PC, and even there it was slow as hell.

After all that, I watched the Yeti body and the 2 door Jeep body sell out, and was suspicious about the 3 4 door bodies I bought actually shipping. Once I got my tracking number I felt much better.

My experiences with HK have been nothing short of awful. Couldn’t recommend them less.

I get lipos there that's about it, and they dick around processing the order lol

I've had great luck with HobbyKing all around. They even gave me a partial refund per my request when an item showed up with missing hardware.

Other than some of their stuff taking ridiculously long to get here from their USA warehouse, I don't really have any complaints. I've only had to put in a single warranty claim, and came out smelling like a rose. Way back they put the BZ-444 on sale for $50. I got one and the ESC smoked on the first or second pack. They refunded my $50, so I got the car for free.

I generally buy stuff from HK with the mindset that whatever I'm buying should be considered disposable. This has kept me away from their more expensive stuff, but I've been happy enough with their cheaper stuff. Just don't buy anything that you can't live without, and you'll be fine.

You just got to pick and choose what you order from Hobbyking. They generally ship pretty quickly for me from the Oregon warehouse since it's only a state above California.

I got a smoking great deal on HW 1080's from them around Black Friday. Ended up buying 6 of them for under $30 each.
