My experience with Horizon Hobby has been a very pleasurable experience. I purchased my Traxxas Summit new from them 2 years ago, I ordered the green Summit, invoice said green, label on the box said green, but the truck was red I contacted Horizon they appoligized and offered me a $50 refund for not getting the correct color body. Twice I had to rma something, filled out the online form and immediately had an rma request form to send in with my faulty parts. Had my new stuff within the next week. The second time I contacted them was about the missing motor wire retainer on my Typhon 3s, they responded to my email a few hours later stating they were sending me out an entire radio box free of charge and I have never been charged shipping.Most of the blx line is set to 3.6, every once in a while you'll get one set to 3.8 - I dump them on ebay. I usually set my castles to 3.4, but I set my XLX's to 3.2. The power hungry things can drain batteries fast. 3.7 would barely last 10 mins. I don't worry about lipo dumping since I buy cheap batteries & C rating is a farce of an equation. All lipo batteries have safe charge & discharge lvls they will never go above. Most of my true HW ESCs are set to 3.4. I just had another blx185 go out on me today, the 4 red blinks of death. So now I only have 2 cars still running the stock blx185. I don't know if I'll replace it or not. Dealing with HH is a PITA.
HH charges the 11.99 return shipping. They always have.
