Hi, Has anyone bought hobby parts from any china online shop ? I wanted to buy a DLE 30cc gas engine.
http://www.hobby-china.com got a good price for it.

Site looks Legit ! i wouldnt risk it with the existing customs scene of the country, just got off the phone with the customs commissioner who wouldnt budge, if i were you i would go with LHS like RCBazaar RCDHAMAKA

China is so risky and don't keep promises after sale.also some times received products differ from ordered product, so be careful.

Couldn't agree more. In the last 2-3 months the Customs have become very cranky. What is even worse, Chian, Hong Kong and specially Malaysian Post has become pathetic to Epic scale. I have lost bunch of packages in the past 2 month that I didnt in the past 5 years.

There is also a huge QA and originality issues with Gas engines sold in China. They sell Knockoff of most of items right from iPhone to Auto Parts and what not. Buying from known and proven stores like Hobby King, SDS , HiModel etc is a different thing. But such new sites can easily pass on a QA reject or even a knockoff engine.

So for the price, and if no one is carrying a Tower Hobbies sourced DLE from US, I would rely on ones sold by RCDhamaka, Rotor etc

Thank you for warning, few months past I bought a brushless gimbal from www.goodluckbuy.com and it reaches me safety.

@ rcpilotacro  I would surly wanted to buy from RCDhamaka or Rcbazaar but Dhamaka is out of stock and RCBazaar`s engine (Avionic 29cc) that I have bought recently had got some problem, and that RCB are working on it

one of the ebay seller linked me to www.mbuynow.com this site seemed fine to me,
