I've bought stuff from Hobbycity and was pleasantly surprised thy the quality and prompt service. Also, the feedback about their products on their website is really helpful in finding the right motor, ESC, or whatever. I spent about $150 with them this month alone.

When their quality or service starts lacking, I'll be the first to post it here. So far, they seem to be doing a hell of a good job.

The cost shouldn't matter - products should be fit for the purpose they are intended. If it were poor performance, that's a different matter. These blades don't even "work".

I've only bought two major things from this place - these blades and a LiPo battery charger (B8).

The battery charger had a temperature fault out of the box. I was able to fix it myself, but it was due to such dodgy manufacturing I'm surprised all of the units don't exhibit it.

I'm simply not going to bother with these guys again. I haven't sent my failed blades to them because they won't agree to pay the shipping cost. I don't even care if I don't get a refund, they should pay for the blades to be returned so they can forward them to the manufacturer, then claim that cost from them.

If I did send them back, I wouldn't be surprised if more grief arises because of it.

So I've cut my losses, learned my lesson, and resolved to avoid them in future.

I got two sets of 325mm z weave blades for my 450 and am more than happy with the blades, I have a Scorpion 6 and a 55 amp comander esc
with a 100% throttle curve/ TicTocs as hard as they can be done and constant pitch banging with 0 problems, I LOVE them. stiffer than Radix long ways and almost as stiff across. they are light and strong, if you guys dont buy them then more for me. I am not trying to take up for hobbycity but I have flown every blade on the market
and have not found a blade that even comes close to the preformance for the price(20.00). I also have a set for my 500 and I am running
a Scorpion 1400kv with a 100amp esc 100%flat. They are 10 times beter
than the MAH 425 G2 I threw a set of these in the trash

I have tested the 325mm blades on my mini titan and they hold fine.

They are indeed stiff as AUTUMNSUMMERS1 states.

I just blame hobbycity for the wrong pictures in their site.
They do not look like the ones in the site.

I cant say about the bigger blades, but these small ones hold ok.

Keep it up...literally
