Delivery Times
Post and Packaging
Receipt of goods
We advise you to inspect all items immediately upon arrival. Please do not accept packages that show signs of damage in transit without thoroughly checking the contents first, goods damaged in transit are subject to a claim on the carrier please do not accept them as the carrier may be asking you to sign for them in good condition. Inform us immediately if you have refused an item and we will arrange a replacement.
We advise you that if a courier delivers a parcel to you and you do not physically check the contents for damage you should sign for the goods as unchecked. This makes making a claim easier if you later find damage to your delivery as without this disclaimer you are signing for them in good condition.
The items we sell are hobby products and may require some final assembly and adjustment before use please inspect the model prior to use and report any damage or problems within 3 days of receipt.

Missing/Delayed Deliveries
Courier:
If you do not receive delivery by the expected delivery date please get in touch immediately so the courier can be contacted as failed deliveries have to be reported within 7 days of us sending the goods.
In the unfortunate event your goods go missing then as soon as you inform us the courier will be contacted, once the courier confirms the goods are missing and it has been reported within the correct time frame a claim will be raised and the goods will then be resent to you.
If goods are disputed as delivered, this is where the courier says they have delivered and have a signature from the address for receipt of them but you are stating you have not had them then the courier will not raise a claim until they are satisfied the goods have not been delivered after an investigation has been carried out. Part of this investigation is to interview the delivery driver, unfortunately in
this very rare situation the goods cannot be resent until the courier raises a claim.
Age Recommendations
Radio Controlled modelling is a great hobby that can be enjoyed by all ages however please remember that the remote-control models we sell are hobby products not toys, many are high performance machines and we advise adult supervision for children under the age of 14 years old.
It is the responsibility of the user to ensure the safety of people and property around them when using a radio control mode, Mini Moto, Quad bike or Scooter and when used in a public place adult supervision should be provided.
Nitro models require some manual dexterity and physical strength to start which some younger users may require assistance with.
Pre-Testing
All items should be checked by the user prior to every use ensuring that everything is tightened and adjusted as it should be and batteries are secure. Moreover, for fuel powered items it is essential to check for any fuel leaks each time the item is filled with fuel and do not use any item that shows any sign of a fuel leak. Where appropriate the user should perform a full radio check including a range check before switching a model on or starting an engine. If the item suffers a bump you should check that nothing has been knocked out of adjustment.
If you have a problem with your radio equipment or if there is any damage to the aerials do not attempt to use the model until the problem has been resolved, please contact us for advice.
