Is this company legit?

[Cooper04]

Hey everyone, sorry if this isn’t the correct thread as I wasn’t sure which to put it in and this one looked the most appropriate, but I have a question. Is king cobra of Florida a legit site? I’m considering ordering a 5ive t 2.0 from them since it’s one of the few sites that still has one in stock but am not sure about the site.

Just a bit weary because a few days ago I was almost scammed by the crooks at active powersports because they said they had the car in stock but after I ordered it they said it’s on back order for 2 months and ignored my email asking for a refund for over 3 days and I had to call my bank to get my money back.

When in doubt...

With the amount of money your putting out id be weary. Personally id deal with a bigger company like horizon or tower hobbies granted horizon owns tower so if one is out the other will be too...either find one in person like I did or just wait

Call around to hobby shops

My Vekta and 7PX were both purchased from them and I would stay away.They are legit and will get you the stuff but you will be waiting a long time to get it.They usually wait till they get enough orders for one big shipment and it takes them a long time to do that.I waited 2 months for the Futaba and my buddy was over three months for the Vekta and that was after they reassured us that the items were in stock.

I thought someone said larry's rc had a 5ive t in stock?

 

[Rep732]

I did...this is someone else. Plus that was like 2 weeks ago

 

[Cooper04]

Thanks for all your answers. I decided to do it anyways last Saturday and it just arrived today

 

[Rep732]

Glad it worked out for you man...lucky break you got..who did you end up buying from?

 

[siblues]

Congrats and that is surprising for King Cobra but at least it worked out for you.My ggole review of their shop was not friendly.

Post pics we are all visual people around here

I only read magazines for the pictures ?

 

[crucialRC]

Hmm gambling man I see? Glad it worked out for ya.

I’ll post pics once I get home. Package came just as I was leaving to go to a dirt track race so I only had enough time to bring the box in

They get most of their stuff from Horizon/Tower/Amain.I guess they had everything in stock and I think they price match too.

Here it is, it’s a real beauty. I’m a Baja 5b owner and I was totally not prepared for how gigantic this car is compared to a 5b even

Nice the 5t is a winner
??

Yeah the 5ive platform is big, even compared to other losi platforms... makes my dbxl look little too.

 

[siblues]

Yeah I was surprised too when I saw it.The body also makes it look huge.Nice truck you have there
