In practice, I find most HK sellers lie outrageously about the value of the package (at their own risk) so have never been stung that way - American sellers are much more scrupulous, so more likely to get hit from USA imports.

The problem of the fake is more an issue - however, you are covered, as Hobbywing have introduced a serial number system you can check on their website, and Ebay/PayPal will get your money back if it is fake...eventually. They do tend to favour the buyer.

ive never been hit by import taxes (fingers crossed) and all the products ive had have been good quality will see when this comes + if it is fake like the other guys have said can claim your money back.

im not too bothered if its fake or not as i know im covered + if it is fake it didnt turn up!

I got stung for import tax once. Was about £35 plus I had to do a 40 mile round trip to pay it and get the goods. Not nice!!
Small items you will get away with something like a TV maybe not.

Anyway item looks good. Have fun.

Hi,
Check out this thread
http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/topic/11...sing-an-ezrun/

I think you might have a fake. Look at the programming box front on yours and compare to the Hobbywing website it looks different and also compare the serial number on your ESC to the one on the card (mine were totally different).

I think I bought a fake off a guy called demon_2. I have missed the time to claim back my money through ebay and don't want anyone else to get caught.

On a side note would anyone use these fake ezruns I have a 8.5t combo.

Thanks

The Hoppster

From RCTech:

Quote:
We have decided at hobbywing that we will implement a anti tampering /anti phoney system so you as loyal customers will know when buying off ebay or any other online store or anywhere in the world that you are buying a geniune Hobbywing product by placing an electronic serial number system in our esc's like the imei serial numbers in mobile phones .

You will receive a serial number which will also be displayed on your 2 in 1 programmer and your led programmer that you will be able to login into hobbywing's website and input your serial number so you know if you have a genuine hobbywing product.

we are doing this as we have found to many phoney products on ebay sites that we are taking action against as we speak .we know that you as the end user and loyla customer always wants to be 100% sure when buying any products may it be hobbywing or something else is that your getting a geniune product for what you have paid .

somethings to look at the present time is clear case switches ,missing decals and none geniune hobbywing capacitor banks .by veiwing hobbywings website you will be able to see discreptancies with your product and the photos listed.

take care guys

regards Angelo
