Is there any problem in ordering form Hobbyking.? As it would  be my first order from them as it is mentioned above.

No, you can order be wise in doing so, dont go for expensive shipping options and be patient, sometimes orders get stuck in customs for a month or more, it will get released be patient

Also, remember what Gusty sir said: be patient! Very often I have seen people on this forum tearing their hair in despair because the tracking shows goods in Customs for 2 weeks or more. Those devils are waiting for you to come there and "expedite through lubrication".

Be patient, they can't hold it indefinitely, and at worst they will impose a few hundred Rs. duty

I'am about to order a car from Hobbyking. This is the car. http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__20616__1_18_Scale_4WD_RTR_On_Road_Drift_Car_red_.html
Has anyone faced any problem with hobbyking regarding delivery etc? I am asking all this because it will be my first online transaction. (My dad doesnt like online payments) Please reply ASAP so that i can order it early.

Hobbyking? haha..
The best shop out there.
Sometimes chinese websites are annoying.. You need patience for your order. atleast 15-20days for your order to arrive.
DONT choose EMS as told my Arun.sree

I am waiting for my order aswell.
For trasaction,your debit card might not work..maybe it does. I created a VCC online. (Virtual credit card) with the total amount.. its virtual.. you just put in its details and bingo Done.
Real easy.
But you go with paypal..

customs may stop hobbyking because it has a Tx- Rx.... -__-
