RMA & Warranty Inspection Service

Return Merchandise Authorization
Please read the return policy first before proceeding.

HOBBYWING offers a manufacturer's limited warranty for products purchased through HOBBYWINGdirect.com or our Authorized Dealer Network in North America. All products distributed through authorized retailers have a 'HW seal' on the product box. All of our RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) service is conducted at our North American office in California. HWNA is NOT responsible for any cause and effect mentioned in emails or conversations through online chat or online forums such as rctech.net or rcuniverse.com, etc. Unless purchased directly from HOBBYWING North America store, products purchased through Amazon.com or Amazon.ca are deemed non-warranty items. This is due to Amazon's return policy, which does not confirm whether a product was damaged by misuse or contains manufacturing defective parts. If you purchased from elsewhere please contact your seller for proper handling
