Your favorite online RC heli store and why

[CiaranMal1]

Used to b heli guy until i found out bout fast lad gud competitive prices and fast delivery, however more sales like the boxing day one i missed it wanted a trex 550e.lol

I order from both Fast Lad and Midland, but if I order from Midland I always do it over the phone this is only because there web site is not updated instantly, once they get this sorted out it's going to be a great help to us all.

I've used Fast-Lads, both for web ordering and over the phone and have been nothing but pleased with the knowledge and service. Prices are not the cheapest (but not far off) and delivery has been mega quick.

Midland have had a handful of orders off me and I've not got a bad word to say about them.

Hobby King have had orders off me for 6S batteries, simply because they were far cheaper than I could get in UK (care to use the DE warehouse though!).

I've recently ordered a load of spares from Hobby King's general site, stuff that I don't need today so don't mind waiting a couple of weeks for, but again, make sure you bundle up to a weight package to save on postage. Never had any issues with stuff being out of stock with them.

Other than that, I get my packs of XT60's off ebay (can't recall seller ID at the moment).

My first port of call is always Fast-Lads, reliable, great c-s, and good stocks and prices are pretty good cf other stores.

Next would be Midlands, Skyline, Innwoods, Simply T-Rex.
I never use Giant Cod, nor Heliguy. Long story.

For cheap batts, I generally use HobbyKing.

Other Far East stores include Ehirobo, RC711 and Flying Hobby

Sometimes I get stuff in the USA, using HeliDirect or ReadyHeli.

AVA hobbies still seem to be trading?

[gorber]

There are so many that I have used and it is difficult to differentiate them.

The ones that have handled complications (not of their making) well have been Midland and Fast Lads, and I have had good dealings with them.

I like Align Trex the most, but that is a little unfair because they are just round the corner and I don't actually use the online ordering. Great prices and, as with a good few enterprises in this hobby, the business takes second place to the hobby, as was shown when they suppied the tx/rx to replace the one stolen in the 'Anyone heard from..' thread..

The other excellent one is Kings Lynn Models. Again, great prices and willing to go the extra mile.

I use fast lads / align trex most of the time for UK shopping, have used Giantcod for the odd small battery pack as the Loong Max they sell make decent reciever packs. Use to use Heliguy a lot but no matter when I ordered it took them 2 days to ship my stuff despite there same day despatch promise.

Never had that problem with Align Trex or Fast Lads - they are both very good.

midlands 95% of the time, great guys at the shop and then fastlads.
Wont ever use Giant cod again as probally the worst shop of all time, and guy who owns it is a joke.

[Adsmalan]

I always like to use Midland when possible as they went the extra mile for me one time. Always willing to help and give free impartial advice . The website is not great but even with a new one I would still order over the phone. I use Fast-lad on occasion but still prefer to phone orders in.

In order:

Midlands
