Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / December 2003Where to buy RC parts online
Hi all, I'd like some of your opinions about good websites to order RC parts. So far I've only done business with Tower Hobbies. But, Tower doesn't carry everything and their prices are higher than some other RC websites. So hopefully for my benefit and the benefit of everybody else on r.m.r.l. - I'd like to compile a list of good RC websites and also grade them for comparison. For grading purposes we'll use 1 to 10 - 1 being "horrible" and 10 being "Great!". (When grading, consider everything good and bad - and then pick a number that represents "the whole picture") One other thing - please don't add your sob story that nobody wants to read, just figure it into your grading number and post the website. If you do add some comments, please keep it real short. The more opinions posted, the better. So I'll start it off... Towerhobbies.com - 7 Professional, but little savings over the LHS. Horizon Hobby - 6 Not as good as tower, but sells the other side of the rivalry.

I give them an 7 and that's because of their low prices which counts for a whole lot right? their rating would be 9 if they put more effort into their site and made the order form secure. to get 10 they would also have to list/sell more kits from different manufacturers too. > Horizon Hobby - 6 Not as good as tower, but sells the other side of the > rivalry.

Give them a call and they can probably hook you up with whatever you need.
