Apex models

xfactor · #1 14-02-2018

I cant believe a model shop back in the day with such respect, support and one of the best, if not the best model shops would go so bad.

I remember the support and shop at track side under a big red tent in the early 90s and the drivers to back it.

Its a real shame for the sport that APEX have gone this way. I also have had issues in the past.

I agree with Adey. I hope someone from APEX reads this and reflects back to the days of awesomeness by these guys.......

Well i have used Apex on numerous occassions and had nothing but grief with them .When i order something you expect it to be in stock and not have to wait for them to have a big enough order before putting it in with whatever supplier.

JE MODELS well they were totally different and kept you updated with everything even down if it was not in stock.

Apex models will get no further buisness from me in the future

Sad story really as they used to be really good with stock and getting it out to you.

I drove out there specially with my lad to get some tyres that they listed as in stock... wasn't when we got there. Bloke also seemed completely disinterested in anything we asked for once he knew we weren't spending a grand on a new Traxxas.

They did actually answer the phone after 20 rings a couple of months ago to me though, still didn't have what we wanted though but saved an hour's round trip!

Awaiting a small order paid for on the 6th - fell foul of the “2 available” BS. No response to eBay message. Will be last time I use them. They are averaging 2/3 negative feedback a DAY ?!

Looks like it's all over. Just come back from an hour's round trip to find the shop shuttered up, no one answering the phone and the lady in the shop next door says she thinks they have closed down.

Still, not a wasted journey for one Dad and his lad - they were outside wanting their buggy fixed at the shop so I did it for them FOC there and then. Just an RX re-bind and ESC calibration.
