Capt. G.

Frankly your seemingly endless tirade has lost it's sting, being blunted in the babbling outbursts you periodically expel. Obviously your issue is not weighty enough to warrant RCB's response, and for every disgruntled Capt. G, there are 10 smiling faces; yes, I am one of them.

It's a free forum so express yourself, as will I. 

If you say you know a little French, perhaps your grasp of the English language is even more infinitesimal. Thus you did not understand the meaning of my post. Since you seem uninitiated to the nuances of the language, allow me to be lucid. Anyone with an iota of brains would have known that the statement "Sad to see that a reputed seller and a backbone of our hobby, like RCD has been forced to justify themselves on an open forum. Shame" implies an implicit support for the organisation RCDhamaka and the team behind it. Only you seem obtuse enough to miss the point entirely. For your information, I am a delighted RCDhamaka customer and have just spoken with the owner of the store who completely comprehended and was appreciative of my post.

You are like a babbling brook but lack the clarity associated with it.

This is a free forum, you may keep ranting, taking pot shots, et al.

I am sending you two items for your personal use on a public forum. Beat and blow them as you please.

Your repartee will undoubtedly be an esprit de l'escalier, and I promise not to waste any more time parrying your meaningless prattle.

With every good wish and wishing you a speedy recovery from whatever it is that you are suffering from.

I agree with Sanjay ji, since the day you (Capt G) have come on the forum all you have been doing is complaining about everything and anything. Let's get this straight, stores like RCDhamaka were formed out of a passion for Radio Control, not because they wanted to make a business out of it. That very commitment shows on their pricing and level of customer service. Last year I placed an order for a CAP 23 .40 from them, that aircraft was delivered to me the very next day in IMMACULATE condition, and Kartik Shah(co-owner of RCDhamaka) kept following up on it personally till I received it, other than that I have placed quite a lot of orders with them for a lot of stuff(small and big). Kartik was always helpful. He even helped me for over 3 hours on BBM, to help me assemble the CAP 232, since the actual ARF design was updated, while the manual remained the same.

Other than that, I have purchased a YAK 54 profile with a complete set of electronics, a v622a charger, a couple or batteries, some standard servos, LOTS of spare parts, couple of  motors, ESC's etc from him, They were always helpful about product selection and after sales help even for a product worth Rs. 5.

Here even a single negative comment can ruin a very reputed seller's reputation, and with the way things were going with that charger and innumerable posts about it, the reply was definitely needed, otherwise that person would continue with his argument that was definitely very shaky. RCD did the right thing by putting that post up.

You might be fairly supportive of RCD, but the general attitude that I can see is definitely negative.

From your previous posts it's clearly evident you do not like ANY LHS, you are only used to buying stuff from abroad, and are fairly used to dealing with customs. We as a community always try and support all our LHS, since it's because of them only has aeromodelling come to this level in India. RCDhamaka is getting us the Top International Brands, at true international prices, I don't think anyone can price there stuff any lower than they are.

Your daily ridiculing of Forum Members and LHS is definitely wrong.

Now maybe you have the capability to deal with customs and import stuff from abroad, people like me don't have such capability to deal with them regularly.
I don't mean to say you shouldn't import from abroad, but instead of boasting about you importing stuff every second day and pulling down the morale of the LHS why don't you post something constructive to help the community here.
There are a huge number of people on this forum very much capable of importing just as much as you are, however even they support the LHS simply to ensure this hobby remains viable here in the Country.

I may NOT be so well known on this forum, nor be that experienced in the field, however as a fellow Aeromodeller and forum member I request you to not comment unnecessarily post comments that are not only bad for the morale of the LHS but also for the Community as a whole.

I personally am one of the smiling people for the support and service LHS like RCDhamaka are providing.

@yashodhanp  +1 

i agree with you sir and i will always support RCD and other LHS

And VC sir thought Mr. 'parley' G was "going to be a worthy and will enrich this forum in the days to come"...

People with resources and experience are expected to share their knowledge. But instead of build logs and flight videos all we got was dirt-shoveling on local sellers.

And, on a related note, please, please, can we please have a popcorn eating emoticon!

P.S. : Yashodhan, you are really good with words mate!

All of us are failing to appreciate his sense of humour.
Intentional or unintentional!

And where is Rishi Kumar?
Chelas of his father, Suresh Kumar, wonder.

He has 'enriched' us good and proper, hasn't he? End of the day, I was right............

Too enriched leads to smoke...

I saw an animated one somewhere, but this will do great!
Oh, please, please, let this one be added to the emoticons in the 'post-reply' window.

Swapnil hope you wont mind if I join in

Now that's more like it! Score mate!

This was long etching my mind,
there are only few people like sanjay sir, umayesh and less than i could count with fingers who make build logs and useful tips and others come just to sell /advice without any experience or to complain.

10s of sale post for a day and less than 10 useful discussion per month. are we becoming a e-commerce site?

In the spirit of openness, I am disclosing that I have removed 2 negative trader feedbacks left by Krunal against RCDhamaka.  This is not us siding with a reputed seller, or me playing fanboy of any type. But in this case, there is clear indication that due process was not followed by the buyer, and it is very difficult to determine on which side the problem happened.

I request both parties not to leave negative feedback against each other.

Anwar Bhai

while we are on the topic of trader feedback, may i request you somehow make it relevant to trader feedback system and not some scoring settling system, i dunno how are you going to execute that

thanks for the support guys . You guys are awsome .... salute the RCD

I bought a f4u Corsair from RC Bharat. He gave me a 20 A esc along with the kit and I had asked him to give him a 850mAh, 20 C Lipo battery as mentioned in the specifications of the Kit. Instead he gave me a 1300mAh, 20C lipo battery and said that this would be compatible with the 20A esc.

But, when I connected the battery to the esc. The esc just went into flames and burnt out. The battery current rating (26A ) was too high for the esc.

Now, when I called Sai Krishna mentioning the problem. He says that the 20 A esc can take any amount of current, irrespective of the rating.

He is not ready to replace the esc for me which got burnt just because of the higher rating battery he sold to me just to earn a little extra cash.

A 20 amp esc can be connected to a higher discharge rated battery. You only need to make sure that you use it within correct voltage as specified for that esc (2s/3s).

When you connect esc to a battery, it would only draw enough current as required to run the motor, so if your motor was drawing more than 20 amps then it may lead to a burned esc. FYI I use 20amp esc with 2200mah,25C,3s Lipo.

But since you mention the esc burned as soon as you connected it, this can usually happen under two scenarios AFAIK, either polarity was reversed or there was a short circuit. Now both these can be user fault or manufacturing defect. By the way you didnt mention whether the esc was connected to the motor. And adding a pic may help your case.

Another clueless newbie, sorry to say, blaming sellers for what seems like his own mistake. You can "connect" (may not "fly"!) a 5000mAH lipo to your 20A ESC for all it matters, as long the cell count (voltage) is compatible.

Please do yourself a favor... spend some time here, and figure out how lipos, ESCs, motors and props work together.  What is compatible with what, what can cause problems etc.

@ethan79
Please be careful to get your facts right.
Be aware of the consequences before calling anyone a cheat on a public forum.

Dear Ethan79,

Did you solder the Esc wire to the connector. Most of all burning of esc happens with wrong polarity when connected to the battery and wrong soldering.

There is no relevance of the current ratings of battery with wrong polarity. 1300 mah battery is better as you can fly longer.

As suggested you need to be patient and learn and maybe take help if needed.

Cheers

I have recently had a very bad experience with thehobbyshop.in
Their website went down (domain is now not valid) a week after I placed my order and the contact number is switched off.
Apart from that, I am now down Rs. 1400.

Update: Their website has been started again. However all old user accounts have been lost. There still has been no communication from their side regarding my order.

I recieved a Hausler 450 V2 RTF  from RC Bazaar Pune branch yesterday (26th sept 2014). Since it was an rtf, i expected everything to be in order but to my utter dismay, the battery was missing, no manual for the heli, t6 configuration file for tx  missing, the tail boom bend on the right side, cracked canopy and a damaged servo. It was not a case of courier mishandling as the heli package was well wrapped in bubble wrapping with no damage on the packing. I assumed i was send one with defects. Mr Suresh picked my call and told me to send the pictures of the heli as recieved to his e mail. After my email he told me not to worry as the tail boom , battery, servo and manual will be send today but i have not recieved any tracking number till now. Now this topic is not to defame the seller but posted as a reminder for the seller that everything which a customer orders, it has to be crossed checked and despatch to avoid complaints. By the way my Hiller Hover from RC Bazaar is on the way.
