I hear they don't have the best service, but, ebay's great as long as you get your seller is reliable. look around, I *may* be getting one of these myself for training as even the extremely cheap TRex parts are too much on my budget for the moment. besides I want to fly in my room. ooh, that just reminded me of something....

I've ordered from rc expert before without any problems. Only thing I don't like is it took them like a week before they even shipped my package.

besides that uh... just look around. I had a site, wait a min...

look here : www.heli-fever.com

they have pretty cheap heli's and they have barbone kits for most of the walkeras (also carry esky kits and barebones as well) too. but the shipping isn't all that beutiful. I've ordered from them before, took around a week or two, regular chinese shipping. ok and just to let you know they have a pair of main blades that cost 2.50, if you search around. that's for the honeybee/ #4 they have agressive pitch, 15 degrees built in, and are foam. if you're getting a heli that uses that size blades, it can't hurt if you're already ordering from them.

PS: this site is not in anyrelation to helifever.com that's a store, this one is a forum.

RCEXPERTS


I bought a walkera 36 with the aluminum rotor head but the gyro is faulty and the rotor head has two stripped threads,shouldn't be a problem if they replace the head. The thing is, it takes 3 days to reply to my emails!! The servos had no screws to hold the horns on with! So dangerous!

Please check your heli before you try to fly! I ordered mine on the 15th and it's still not flying. If they sort this problem I'll be happy, if not, I won't be able to recommend them. We'll see.

Well they haven't responded after 4 days and the metal rotor head is unfixable. The blade grip screw is stripped and the elavator pitch screw is also stripped. At this point I'd say AVOID RCexperts as not responding is the most irratating thing, there is nothing I can do!!

They finally responded and I have to return the rotor head to them. The overall quality is pretty good & if the rotor head screws hadn't have been stripped, I'd be a happy man now. Be prepared to swap the servos and the gyro and put on a mini antenna for zero glitches.
