Hirobo Quark

Why are they so damned expensive?

All there are is a small 35mhz fixed pitched heli! and they are £300 or more.

You can get a Trex sport for that!

Are you sure thats an up to date price, a lot of sites dont bother to update the prices of old kits, or even delete them when they are no longer available.

A while back I had a gyro that Midlands still have listed as still being available, and still being about £180, there is no way in hell it (JR 550T) is either, if they have any in stock they'll never shift them at that price, it was heading hold, but it had a piezo sensor.

The 401 has been out for years and completely out classes it, and that's not exactly new or top of the range.

I had the Quark for couple years & sold several months ago but at the time I purchased was very expensive, once flown didn't think any more of the price as it seemed worth it, but now were all on 2.4 not even new version of Quark is on 2.4 so now makes it too expensive!

I too had a Quark, and though expensive, I loved it and thought it was well worth the money. Great little flyer, indoors and out in light winds, very tough and robust and perfect as a first single rotor fixed pitch machine. Very cheap to run - just foam blades, which could be improved and toughened up with sellotape.

Still seems to be the same (actualy more now) high price, and it is a great machine, but now too expensive. Should be 2.4 B&F or be able to fit your own RX. There is supposed to be a CP version coming, but this was frst seen 18 months ago now, but still not in the shops.

The new version cp Quark SG was available for a while but the price was ridiculous ....... Hirobo SRB SG Quark 35MHz M2 - A-H0302-923 | Slough Radio Control Models
And now, nobody seems to stock them. Hardly surprising really

A friend has one and I flew it for the first time about 6 weeks ago. I must admit it was really nice to fly and very stable yet resposive.

They do seem to fly very well Just cant believe the price and the lack of 2.4ghz

What is curious is that there is a full page colour advert taken out by Hirobo/Ripmax UK for the SRB Quark as the back cover page of Model Helicopter World (£370 with TX, £330 without) and there has been for months.... must cost quite a bit so they must be selling them somewhere in numbers to make it worthe while?
