“I have had brilliant service from Wheelspin Models but my recent purchase of Xfly t7a redhawk was quite frustrating as the motor wasn’t running correctly but I found the problem the black wire going to the motor wasn’t connected 🤪”

Thanks Lucan, glad you've had brilliant service with us overall and that you managed to track down the culprit with the motor — those little gremlins can be a right pain to hunt down! The Redhawk's a cracking model, so hope she's running sweet now and giving you some proper flying time. /Nicky

“Receiver battery packs were ok but had to modify for a jr connector as they were for Futaba equipment. Not a problem as I just cut them to fit after testing. The order included a set of servo arm screws which I thought would fit hs81 mini servo’s but they are too big but I can probably find a use for them.”

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. I'm sorry the battery packs and servo screws didn't arrive as the right fit for your kit — that's frustrating when you're keen to get building. We'd genuinely like to look into what happened with the order and see if we can help put things right. Please drop us a line at ben@wheelspinmodels.co.uk with your order details, and we'll do everything we can to sort it. We appreciate you giving us the chance. /Adam

“I mainly fly foamies and wanted an old school balsa plane , this DPR seemed to fit the bill and wheelspin were a lot cheaper than the opposition . Delivered quickly and kept informed on progress , Plane fun to put together , i am about 80% done at moment . I have knockedone star off as i feel to much flex in the control rods and will make some mew ones with a bit more beef .”

“I’ve used Wheelspin for numerous builds now. Their items are competitively priced and the website makes sourcing parts easy. I’ve emailed for information several times, and the staff have always been extremely helpful. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the £100 threshold for free delivery feels quite high.”

“Hi, I have been building and running rc cars since the 1980s, my first car was a Grasshopper, it captured my imagination and taught me patience from building the car, I also spent many hours in those days building lorry kits and military vehicle kits in later years this led to me owning military vehicles and attending the 1994 D-Day landings celebrations, wheelspin have been so far the only company that is able to meet my requirements for my modeling projects, I have tried to use local suppliers without any success, my latest project is the Savage XL nitro and I can't wait to run this monster 😀”

“My experience with wheelspin has been excellent and I couldn’t recommend them enough for there services but I had an issues with the currier DPD.on my recent order it took 4 attempts by DPD(same driver every time)to eventually deliver my parcel due to the driver needing a pin number to enable them to deliver the package as he couldn’t be bothered to get the attention of any of my colleagues in my place of work or come and find me . On each occasion my time slot was between 13:00-14:00(so lunch time!). On each attempt i was having my lunch and the driver couldn’t be bothered to find anyone on the premises and just dumped a sorry we missed you leaflet and done a runner, he couldn’t get out of the yard quick enough looking at cctv. Would of given 5 stars but maybe requiring a pin for delivery isn’t ideal for everyone’s circumstances.”
