Nitrorcx - Toy Truck Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Bought truck for christmas motor burned up as soon as it was run. Took a week to get in touch with them, they sent a replacement part a week later it did not wk. Took another week to get a replacement for that one so 3 weeks. Tires then fell off another paint for parts. Now the servo has went out. This truck has been used for a total of 30 mins since christmas. 400 down the drain because no one has this servo and nitro doesn't care. And of course the warranty was only 30 days.

I was initially refused a refund; instead the seller offered to replace the part broken during shipping. Really?

This is for a birthday present...this month, this year. No deal. I then escalated the matter to PayPal who arranged for an immediate refund. The seller did not pay the return-shipping costs, however.

No real surprise. PayPal will reverse the cost of the item as soon as it is received at the seller's address. Very simple. Thank you PayPal for looking out for the consumer!

I can't imagine a circumstance that would draw me back to this seller. It was a surprise to me companies still exist who have such an outdated (decades old) attitude toward customer service. Oh, I did replace the item through a different seller on Amazon.

Success. The item arrived in 2 days and was in perfect, new condition.

Original review Dec 20, 2016
NitroRCX ordering was quick and efficient however the item arrived broken. The packing had no protective layer and it looks like the package had pressure applied to the top which cracked the body of the radio controlled truck. I registered on the website and went through their customer service process. Received notification my request was received. No action beyond an auto-response. Tried to call their customer service line. They must be out for the holidays. No answer. Everything about their website seems impressive but the service and response is non-existent. If the item had arrived in new condition I would likely order from them again. I suppose in some way this is a good outcome in that it exposed non-responsive service. I'm going to have to seek some sort of resolution through PayPal. At this point I going to order from another vendor and will hope to get my money back. I've been spoiled with Amazon and their instant resolution process. So far, NitroRCX couldn't be more the opposite.

Nitrorcx - 51C818 Fireblue 24Ghz Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We purchased a 1/10 Buggy from this company. It arrived on time but the pull cord broke immediately and after taking it to two local hobby shops, no one could get it started.

We returned it and they said they would get it working or send us a new one. They did send the same one back and the pull chord ripped off again and it was set to full throttle and would only go in reverse. After attempts to tune it did t work, we returned it again and they said they would give a full refund. That was a lie!

They took a restocking fee of almost $30 even though we returned it for being a faulty product.

When I asked why they punish the consumer for their *** product, they said there wasn't much they could do. I will tell everyone I know to stay far away from this company

Return

I am very dissatified with nitro rcx Would never buy anything from them again. I had to return a starter box that I bought after they said that it would work for my Grandson's r/c truck well it didn't even come close to working.

After going through hours of trying to return it. I found that it would cost as much to return the item as it cost.

Notified Nitrorcx and they said that this their policy . It looks like I lost $50.00 Most companies will send you a return label but not NitroRCX I warn everyone not to do business with nitrorcx unless you want to get ripped off.

How long can it take for them to get a part?????

My 6 year olde son got a MicroX Truck for Christmas. He ran it for about 30 minutes and the steering set (model 68P-24618) broke.

It is April and they still don't have the part. On the site it says the part is $2.00. I was able to find it for $20.00 at another site. Seems like a scam.

I have gone back and forth with their RC Discuss site and they have been no help. Now they are saying that they will "special order" it for me. I asked them how much and can only expect that their answer will be ridiculous. I would not recommend buying anything from these people.

Go to a local RC store and deal with human beings instead. You might pay a little more, but at least you might get some customer service.

I have had a similar experience.

I bought a NitroRCX car 1/24th scale - because I knew eventually it would break - but they had spare parts!

Too bad the only parts I need are OUT OF STOCK...

(looks like the weak link in the design and many other customers are experiencing similar defects.)

I am curious to see how long it will take to get my steering linkage parts for the MicroX Racing 1/24 Micro Scale Monster Truck...

I am also curious to see if the item gets discontinued before the part ever becomes available again :(

Non-existent customer service!

I ordered two RC vehicles from these clowns when I was completely new to the hobby. The first red flag occurred when the buggy color I ordered wasn't in stock when the website said it was. The buggy I ordered started having problems shortly after I got it. Stripped gears, leaky shocks, tires coming off the wheels, etc. You can't get parts from nitrorcx because they're constantly out of stock and they have no idea when they will get more. They love to overcharge for shipping too for pretty much everything they sell. Good luck trying to get these people on the phone! You'll be placed on hold for close to an hour at a time and when someone finally does answer, they'll be totally incompetent and know absolutely nothing about the product you're asking about. It's the same thing for email communication as well. In addition, these guys love to show stuff in stock on their website when it's really not. They'll have no problem taking your money and then notifying you after the fact that the part you ordered is out of stock. Furthermore, local hobby shops don't support these knock off brands, so you're out of luck if you hope to find parts for these cars locally. Avoid these fools like the plague! Buy a well-known RC from a reputable brand and thank me later!

Piece of junk dont buy

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
my gf bought me 1/8 scale madwarrior for Christmas... What a piece of junk straight out of box!... I'm sorry she even wasted her money on this thing!.. after studying the manual and finally ready to crank it up ..it ran for bout 10 secs before engine locked up and wouldn't turn.. so had to take the engine out and remove the pull start to free up engine.. got that fixed and put it back together.. ran for bout another 30 secs beore shutting down again... pulled cord and it came out.. so took it apart again.. rewound everything.. put back together.. pulled string couple of times and then the spring broke!!... for having to take this thing apart a dozen times right out of box to try and fix something and it run a total of about 45 secs is not cool... your product is junk and hope she can get her money back or we will just chalk it up to china made ***!!

Nitrorcx isn't as bad as what everyone here says

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I purchased 2 cars from this company for my boys as Christmas gifts. Both arrived on time as promised and packaged well! These RC's have lasted the longest out of any of the other RCs we have purchased in the past. We have even ordered replacement parts from the same company and have had ZERO problems finding what we need, ordering, shipping, etc. my son has even chatted with their online help, viewed their online instruction videos, has disassembled and reassembled his RC... Again, no problems. I think with any new company there will be some growing pains, this company has a great quality, better priced RC product worthy of consideration.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I ordered 2 rc crawlers at the same time.....1 shipped the next day....1 has yet to ship? Both are in stock. So why the multi day delay? When I called to inquire as to when it will ship ....I was given a worthless answer and still have no idea when I will receive the other rc? The money has already been removed from my account or I cancel my order and run.... But they got me on the hook now....steer clear of this place folks.

No Customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! There customer Service is fake! There is no online chat help... it alwasy offline. They don't pick up the phone and do not return emails or ticket submitted. You can not get help. Car was shipped with missing parts, doesn't work, can't return, since can't get a hold of them. Also Can't find parts any other place but on their site. They charge $10 for any part shipped. So if you need a replacement screw (and you will cause these cars fall apart) its a $2 screw and $10 in shipping! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM!

Ordered RC Car that was never delivered and can't get a refund for my son

Filed against : Nitro RC Chop Shop 6099 Mount Moriah Road Ext STE 22 Memphis TN 38115-**** Complaint Description: Ordered product,which was never received. Used chat twice with customer service who claimed they 'released'the orders&would email tracking-no product. My son worked a summer job for an RC car.Found this product affordable,and ordered on 7/5/14 (order #YHST-141973****1157-29****).Waited a week,no product or shipping info.7/12/14 Used online chat w/nitrorc.com-they claimed there was a 'hold'on the order,&he would 'release'it & email tracking info.(Received an email @sale prices.)Waited a few more days (b/c their buisness hrs conflict w/our working hrs.)7/15/14,re-used chat.Customer Service Rep claimed unsure why it didn't resolve last time.Claimed he also 'released' the 'hold,' & we would receive an email @shipping/tracking. No email received, as he had stated by end of day or next day. 7/22/14, called & reached customer service, she claimed she could 'release' the order, or as I demanded, refund the money. Told her to CANCEL & refund. She claimed I would receive a money refund & EMAIL confirming. Received more sales emails & an email/auto response stating transaction cancelled, & 'there has been no charges made to your credit card.' (However $108 was taken from my debit card 7/7/14.) Tried to call customer service 7/28/14, during there open buisness hrs (& my lunch break,) and was on hold for over an hour. Had to disconnect the call before reaching a person. Have tried the 'ticket' system on Nitrorc.com also, no responses. AT this point, 7/28/14, we have no product (RC Car,) No Refund ($108,) and no valid responses from the company. Filling a complaint seems to be the only resolve, at this point, just to receive a refund. Your Desired Resolution: $108 returned to my debit card (for me to return to my son, which is beyond disappointed.) For the company to be held accountable for there poor buisness practices & lack of communciation, problem solving, and false statements with no consequences. NO mediation, (ability to speak with a Supervisor,) I want to prevent another family from this frustration & this unprofessional buisness.
