I see the prices have dropped on X-bay :D All but one seller has bad feedback & he has the lowest price..
I also see bearings for $10.00 Are these topcad bearings any good?
Which are the best?
Thanks

I ordered those bearings for the overland off eBay, I'll let you know of the quality on them after I get them, they look to be metal shielded cheapie bearings though, which is confirmed by their price, metal shielded bearings don't seal out dust/dirt very well compared to teflon or rubber shielded bearings, but they do run faster when they are clean.

if you do get an overland get it from the guy rl0725 i ordered my second one from him and shipping was only 4 days EMS immaculate packaging. it was in better condition than one my sister ordered for me off of some hobby store here in the states. that one arrived in a week in a half and the outer box looked like it was wrapped by apes and insisde the car box was all bent and scraggly looking. next time if idon't get it from here i am getting stuff from this guy.

yea I ordered my overland from this shop here, but got bearings and AAA batteries off eBay.
I would have gotten them from here, but they didn't have any bearing sets for the overland yet :(
god, I can't wait for my Overland to get here!

Id be a bit leary about rl0725.. Did u read his feed back? Im glad you got what you ordered
He has allot of good, but a few saying they never recieved what they ordered, and never got a refund!
Maybe we need a new thread called " THE GOOD GUYS"..

Some people have suggested that rl0725 and stellamodels are the same person. If you look at the similarities between their listings, you'll see why. Stella is known for her good prices and reliability. I know I was satisfied with the RX-7 I got from her.
I've got an Overland on order from rl0725 as we speak. I'm not worried in the slightest.

I bought my first bit char-g from rlo over a year ago, it came with extra tires and a 3.0 motor for 35 bucks shipped...the 3.0 motor came DOA, so he sent me a replacement, the replacement got snagged by customs and delayed for 3 months, I told him I hadn't gotten the replacement, so he charged me $3 and sent me another 3.0 motor, which worked great, then the 2nd 3.0 motor came in a couple months later, and also worked great.
the reason for 95% of all negative feedbacks on eBay is someone that doesn't understand the way eBay works, you need to contact the person and work out any issues before posting feedback, I know that is the case because I am a seller on eBay (305 transactions) and have 2 neutral feedbacks from selling, one for "slight upscaling of description" and another for posting a neutral about something I bought, which pissed off the seller, lol.

I still have not received this truck...they are looking into the shipping...
They said it will take 2-3 weeks (more) to figure out the problem!
Bummer!

Before I knew about MZR.com, I purchased my Z from rl0725. She is fine in my opinion. I actually ordered an h plate set from her before I ordered my Z , just to see how long it would take etc. The h plates arrived in about 5-6 days. When I ordered my Z, it arrived in 4 days..normal airmail! So those who have had problems, i think you'll find it has nothing to do with the retailer, but the bloody postal service;)..well in Stella Modeals and rl0725s case, who I also believe are the same seller, just by comparing parts packages they both do, and identical pricing.:)

I got my Honda Mugen NSX from her along with a couple other parts. I got it exactly 6 days after I paid her for it. The only thing is that I grabbed it before the prices started to get hiked up a bit. What I paid $94 US for 2 weeks ago now goes for $115.
BTW: same here Psy. I wish I knew about MZR before I ordered my parts elsewhere. I don't regret getting the car though. It was a great deal anyway you look at it.
