  • One stop shop for all the kit?

    Hi all
    New 90% beginner here, (last flew in 2006 ish) and I'm trying to look around at 700 size kits, either IC or Electric, but can't find one supplier that can do all the kit I think I need. I'm was looking at electric but with the 700 size, it seems the batteries are few and far between and what is available is out of stock, as is many of the kits I've looked at. I like the 'Combo Deals' but it seems no one has them either.
    So far I've looked at Midland Helicopters, Fast Lads, Sussex RC, Slough RC but not found any one of them that could supply a complete package off the shelf. The sort of kit so far I like the look of is Spektrum DX9, Forza 700 combo/TRex combo etc sort of size, but as for the rest of the ancillaries as I said it seems that stock of all the bits are low or out of stock completely.
    Is there another supplier I've not found yet?

    Anyone one know of a 'One Stop Shop' I could start to fill a basket up in for around £1500?

    Thanks in advance

    Could do worse than start here: T-Rex 700E HV DFC Top Combo KX018E15 Model Helicopters

    You'll often find stock is low because Align in particular have a habit of changing kits in small ways which leave the retailer holding 'old' stock that was the latest thing 2 mins ago

    Many places to buy batteries cheaper than the main retailers for the kits so they don't tend to keep a lot of packs on hand.

      For that money, I'm sure Align-Trex would be happy to advise

      In all seriousness though, when I started out, many shops would sell me what they could, Align Trex was one I found that told me what I could have vs what I really needed.

      Do shop around for batteries though.

            I'm not entirely sure why all from on source matters unless you want to dicker for a discount.
            .. or get two of everything from here, pay the import duty happily and save some loot with a spare heli .. that everyone will criticise unjustifiably. but will fly more than well enough for all but the most hard-core pilot Aliexpress.com : Buy Freeshipping GARTT 30A ESC Brushless Motor Speed Controler W/ T Plug & Banana Plugs For 450 RC Helicopter Big Sale from Reliable plug phone suppliers on GARTT -RC factory OUTLET | Alibaba Group

              This would be a really good move if I'm honest. Cheaper, from a well known member and everything you need.
