Extremely unlikely, in my opinion. But they may well have enough sales for the uninitiated and/or toy
markets to survive with some filtering of the product range.

I am really impressed with the small Tx ! I recently returned from Lahul-Spiti valley( bike ride cut short - planned to cover Leh)... Wish to go to the valley in a SUV with my FPV gear and fly planes around the Snow peaks... such a handy Tx would be a great boon

Flipcart Response:

We would like to inform you that the above mentioned product is a servo motor part for Trex 100. The once that comes in the package is the actual 3/4 inch by 1/4 inch motor.

The same information will be updated on our website shortly.

We appreciate your kind cooperation and understanding in this regard.

What the..........??? What about all the information that was provided to us, time and again, by their CSR team and Sales Support Teams? This is going to be a blatant case of misrepresentation and fraud.

Dear VC Sir,

I just read the "Terms and Conditions" ---> http://www.flipkart.com/s/terms

"Product Description
Flipkart.com tries to be as accurate as possible. However, Flipkart.com does not warrant that product description or other content of this site is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a product offered by Flipkart.com itself is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition."

Well...I guess Flipkart washed their hands off. They can do anything and everything because they have "T&C".

We all are the idiots now.  :banghead: and always go with reputed and dedicated RC online shopping portals like rcbazar and others and we should be supporting them instead of giants like flipkart and whoever sells motors showing image of helicopter.

I bet they might even sell a sim card showing a picture of mobile phone because they have "Terms and Conditions"   :giggle:

All those who have booked this product - Let's not take this lying down. If it turns out to be a gross misrepresentation, we need to get together and do something about it.

Had a marathon conversation with the Flipkart team and have persuaded one Mr. Anthony to visit this thread. He is reading it right now, as I type.

 :) Humble suggestion sir,

You all on this forum knows that a TRex 100 will cost how much and you'll also know what is a TRex 100 as a product.  Had this been sold by Hobby King We could have sued them because they are experts of the product they are selling.

Flipkart is a general online retail and RC Toys is a new category added. T Rex 100 is a sepcialized product which their buying team migh have confused with some other product.I am 100% sure , that they never did this to cheat or for a fraud but happened due to ignorance/oversight.

So General understanding says if someone is selling a New TRax 100 in Rs 1475, than it cant be true, but to take the advantage of possible mistake/ignorance by FLIPKART many of use booked it.


Now when its reveled that it was an ignorance from their end and they have clarified it, than why so much of hue and cry and for what ? No where in this world you will get a T Rex 100 in 1475 Rs.   :thumbsup:

VC

Great thought. Let everybody post whatever pictures they like and sell whatever they like. Why so much 'hue and cry'? You must be joking! It is this laid back attitude amongst us buyers that has allowed these web retailers to do as they like. See what is happening on Ebay. 'Authentic' and 'Genuine' Tissot watches are being sold for Rs.5000/-.

Asinghatiya, you may be a saint - I am not.

Maybe they need to appoint someone who actually knows what RC parts are and then upload the products matching them with correct descriptions. Being in the Online retailing, happens with me all the time.  I do not mean at all that what they are doing is correct, unethical selling.. My thought is more of a reason why this is happening at their end. No offense to anyone.

VC

I am a Management Consultant by profession and decide that I want to sell Rice on the internet. By your logic, it is not my domain knowledge. So while people appreciate my Training Workshops, I also sell them Genuine 100% Pure Basmati Rice @ Rs.15/- per kg. What you get is the cheapest rice in the market. I'm sure you would let that pass as it is not my 'specialised product'.

"Why so much hue and cry?"

You make me laugh! Go ahead and crucify me if you want. That's the way I am.

My sincere apologies sir, that was just a humble thought came to my mind and I was also following this thread as eagerly as anyone on this forum and was also sure of the outcome.

VC

Boss, no need to apologise. We are on the same boat. We sincerely need to change this all forgiving "Chalta hai" attitude if we are going to progress.

Sir, Chalta hai attitude is the biggest hurdle in progress, leave Flipkart behind who has a 'chalta hai attitude' .....We have no choice but to progress ahead, fighting with such an attitude bearer will also turn us like them. At this point we have two choice, teach a leasson to one who has a chalta hai attitude- Beleive me one will reamin same after tht lesson but we will lose time. second move ahead in life.

Flipkart does not have a 'chalta hai' attitude - WE do. :banghead:
