Sure. But he's primarily for Delhi-NCR, and Nitro planes I think

He also has some car stuff, i once went to his place and that was probably the first time i met him.
I'll be back.

The online shopping of rc stuff is now easier as http://www.spherehobbies.com is now open with good stock. It also has shopping cart and available stock figures.

Updates some new LHS to the poll, make sure you check them and cast your vote.

Please let me know if some new/old LHS is missing

P.S. I deleted some of the existing options from the poll since they had got no votes from quite a while.
I'll be back.

I have started feeling that stock availability is a prime variable while rating an LHS. Considering that Aero Engineering Works is slowly becoming one of my favourite and I would like to change my vote now :thumbsup:

traxxrc1

Even i felt so, most of the high demanded items like a 2.2A lipo's are out of stock on nearly every LHS.
I'll be back.

What exactly is not competitive ?  I assume you are also looking at the brands.  For example, Multiplex planes are much cheaper at RCD then ordering from outside.  Do you pay the same for a Maruti and a Honda ?  Now whether you want a Maruti or a Honda is your problem.

And RCD has always had some of the best customer service. 

Secondly, there are many shops who come with a loud bang, try to blame others for high prices, offer low prices for some time, and then disappear completely.  FlyRC was a recent example.  Some shops are longer term, and they reduces prices when they can. 

Cliche, I agree, but "don't judge a book by its cover". 

Also, people seem to think everyone does everything the exact same way.  If there is a 50 Rs difference between similar lipos at two places, they think the shop with higher rates are milking people.  There is no thought towards the fact that their circumstances may be different, they may have gone through a different set of bureaucracy (which changes by the minute and by city), their rent structure may be different etc.  Finally, when the low cost place is out of stock, the "higher" price shop is still much better than ordering from outside.  These are just realities in life.

+1 Anwar sir.. Specially the 50 rs difference, true you never know what are the circumstances. Its a sellers choice afterall to decide what profit they want to sell their product.

Just a correction, there are two TheHobbyShop options, If the poll can be edited.

www.hobbysea.com is also missing.

Again it shows only stocked items. Even you confirm order and makes zero stock, you can not get again the details of that item. it is a "+" point and "-" too.
We have to unite and to prove ourself to make indigenous products as well as marketing / Canvasing them. I'm sure we must achieve success if we try unitedly.

I am very happy with Aero Engineering Works and Quadkopters  {:)} {:)} {:)}

RCD would do better if most of their items did not show up as "Sold Out" - it gets a little frustrating. However, their shipping is lightning fast and I've received exemplary, personalised Customer Service from RCD.
