Ordered 4x cw and 4x ccw, received 8x cw :( you just cant get what you order in this game. always something wrong always!

Im considering ditching all this. its suppose to be fun not stress and im getting nothing but stress.

I cant stress it anymore you have to be super super carefull in this game as every 1 is trying to mug you off and they do it knowing you cant or wont do anything due to the costs of shipping back vs price of items etc.

We have things like hack a day and other arduino type groups that will soon push these dodgey sellers out of the game and we will be able to get good tech for good price no risks. A matter of time before these companies get exposed and go bankrupt. Sooner the better but I cant see it happening for a lil while.

Hopefully the days of companies dominating by dishonesty,deceiving and out right lying will be over soon. or are people really this thick? if i out my gear up for 5x what i payed will people really come and buy it?

He done me a great deal on these motors so im not complain and again the price of shipping back would just leave me at loss so im buy another 8. maybe that was there plan? like i wont send them back as it would cost me half of what ive payed already so il just buy more? I was really happy and thoughy id found that 1 good company but nope

The plan was to get some motors, find out which give best performance for each application and then rebuild the motors when they do mess up.

Im awaiting my other pair of mt2204 2300kv motors and still searching for a pair of glb 2204 2300kv. This will give me enough motors for a few quadcopters.

At the minute im trying to decide on transmitters. The problem again is rip off companies charging upto 4x the price of other companies but even then companies that have them cheap have some crazy postage costs!!

I really feel like I cant win here. The hole industry is dominated by these people and I cant handle being mugged off, It would never happen face to face. worst thing is how paypal has there back too.

Ive looked into arduino diy transceivers and receivers and would like to go this way but when I try to talk with people on forums its like they dont want to help so im struggling. I really got alot of ideas for arduino from flight controllers to escs to fpv cameras, fpv goggles etc. I believe these can do everything and im so glad weve reached this stage in technology and im hoping so hard it whipes these rip off companies out. totaly forever! and in the worst way like im seeing, there products being bypassed by arduino erc i love it!

Im thinking get the arduino kits and small touch screens with spektrum gimballs then do a fibre glass case for them, same for fpv goggles but Im not techy enough to know what to get and what will do the job 100% and if i cant do something 100% i wont do it at all.

I wanted to just get flying quick as my aim was to get out racing 2017 and travel, Ive been hit with a bunch of health probs and want to do things I like etc this was 1.. I cant even find a legit drone racing organisation in UK. You got guys trying to make you buy insurance and pay 100 to use a local park that you can use for free!! lool its bad!! real bad! criminal bad in my eyes.

I really need some help and guidance with what I want to do and I just cant get it. People choose to just take advantage instead of help again something they wouldnt dream to do face to face.

Im thinking for now get 9xr pro transmitter but then you goto buy modules and then receivers etc its just a joke. But anyway plan was and is to get some transmitter and receivers. tbh I already bought some and got ripped off but what ever il have to buy more and hope for the best.

Im looking at the spektrum receivers with gps and looking to have them on all drones standard with something like multiwii or naze32. I cant get the help I need with my parrot ar2.0 boards. another rip off company.

I got alot of ideas and things id like to do but Ive just had operation and funds are not there like they usually are but even if they was id be building same way. Its the sellers that are pulling me down.

If I leave this and dont come back for a month its because ive had enough of being treated like a ideot and being ripped off. On top of that people dont seem to want to see you do well and get your builds done. Its like they want you to mess up like they have and waste cash like they have.

Im not like that, id sooner point you in right direction and save you from what ive gone threw but people in this game are not like that and tbh I dont want anything to do with people like that and may just ditch all this.

I know I stress this but its for good reason.

If you just want to get a quick drone and fly buy something rtf cheap like hubsan x4. if you want something half decent get a qav250 kit for 50 and a turnigy i6 for 30. people will have these all together for 200+!! You goto be so careful. yiu can easily built thise 500+ drones for 100bucks and even better too which is what my plans are.

Worse thing is when paypal actually protect these companies and quite happy to force you to send things back for refund knowing postage alone will be 2x the cost of original item. I got several like this right now for frames etc.

Then you get the payday loan guys. you buy off them and they send nothing hut you cant open a dispute for 10weeks or so!! and your forced to go that way as buying at home people want upto 10x the price.

Ive found 1 or 2 good sellers out of around 500. Im global source member and have been for years as I trade in many things. Im also with alibaba, made in china and all them places. Communicated with 100s of so called pro companies and yet to have 1 deal with me properly in the DRONE game.

From I can get samsung galaxys and iphones cheaper then drones 1 has to question what are you actually paying for as a drone dont even have 5% of the technology. I got old 35mhz tx that go further then any new 2.4ghz 1000 buck tx.

Maybe i get 3d printer and cnc and go arduino diy everything I dunno ive researched but when I need specific answers you kind of get be littled like your a ideot. some thing they wouldnt do in real life.
