Very helpful and he does exactly what he tells you he is going to do. No B...S.... just good service. I wish all suppliers would take lessons from…"

"That is why I always place several orders every weeks to keep the 9X in stock here at Canada Drones...
Not easy to get them otherwise. I know I charge more but the units are tested.
Back to your scrapping tool, it's really…"
Joel Venable replied to anzel360's discussion Tracking Hobby King Inventory"I snagged a 9X on the evening of April 12, and it still showed as in stock the next morning. It did finally sell out though..."

Andreas replied to anzel360's discussion Tracking Hobby King Inventory"Only one way to deal with HK: You order whether it's back ordered or not and wait. Trying to time things is impossible. If you need parts A and B, part B will be out of stock once part A is back in stock.
This sucks if you need/want everything…"
Monroe Lee King Jr. replied to anzel360's discussion Tracking Hobby King Inventory"I didn't think you could backorder the 9x? I got lucky and caught them in stock (mode 2) I tried the email notification. Your right the email notification is too slow. They are gone before you get there."
Jake Stew replied to anzel360's discussion Tracking Hobby King Inventory"You can backorder the 9X from the US warehouse. You're never going to get one otherwise, they sell out within minutes every time they get any in.
Hobbyking already has an email notification feature, but a lot of stuff sells out so quick…"

I am rather new to the R/C world. I actually got started after reading a lot of material here and wanting to build my own drone. So while researching my first scratch built flying machine (a 450 Trex) I found Hobby King. Oh the cheapness... But the backorders are killer. Furthermore their customer support is not helpful at all with the backorders. So I built hobbyking-watch.com. Basically, I scrape the inventory data for all hobby…See More
