Can't find a website
« on: April 14, 2013, 01:26:02 am »

Last year I remember browsing a website for a RC Submarine vendor based out of either Hong Kong or China.. They had some sub kits, wtcs and electronics


Its not RC Sub Workshop.... All I can remember was it had a blue background and had dive controllers, levellers etc and some very nice kits


Any ideas what it was?

E2V...go careful, they don't have much of a reputation for customer care.

Ok thanks... I'll be on my guard, I was considering one of their kits after the seawolf as they seemed to be quite reasonably priced.

Hi,
Ark Models are at this year's Dortmund Model show. Saw them on Friday. Models are resonable, but if you purchase from them make sure you pay by PayPal to have PayPal payment protection.

Yes it does.....


Maybe they have improved their game recently as many of the bad reports seem to be a few years old.

I cannot talk about their service, that why I said pay by PayPal. If it was me I would only buy from a European supplier. Might cost more, but you then know the quality.

Me thinks you may mean manufacturer, as European suppliers supply from China, as well as European manufacturers who now manufacture in China as do other well know brands.
 
Whats in a name these days.

lets be fair. these days a name doesn't mean much. sometimes you pay extra because its got the name on, Only to find the cheaper lower brand is identical and made in same warehouse etc.
