Products will mostly reach you but 2/10 may go wrong and aliexpress customer support may not answer you sometimes .I think motors+esc combo is better and kk2.1.5 rest of the things are cheapos can be bought here even quad frame is costly. try this http://www.amazon.in/Glass-Fiber-Quadcopter-Frame-450mm/dp/B00MYC7NDE

Thanks for the frame link but that one contains battery strap and landing gear :)

Will the motors escs or flight board require customs? Their total price is rs 4300 and they are from different sellers

Balakrishna Reddy

No problem with customs the problem is sellers only. If you feel the sellers are good then go ahead i am damn sure customs will not stop your products.

I think it's better to order small parts from local hobby shops if its available. But if you have made your mind to order and wait 30-45 days for them to come then just check the seller ratings and order it. I have never faced any problems ordering from aliexpress. And the customs wont stop it untill it has some wireless equipments in the shipment.

Thank You guys well how about these parts as they are cheap ?

Balakrishna Reddy

To be frank they worth the price and most of the Indian resellers order from those people only but deal separately from aliexpress and order them in bulk so they are the same . When you order just order two motors as spare because sometimes you may need them especially when you crash . Even order extra arms also even they are useful.Practice without landing gear, instead use foam under quad because landing may be difficult during start as i have faced them many a times.

I ordered a Flysky i6s ( touchscreen)
2.4ghz
US $51.99
It got shipped 28 days ago
I chose "unregistered air mail"(free shipping)

Order no.17879961

Has anyone had good experience with banggood

How long will it take ? :'(  :-\
Will it clear customs?if not how much will they charge? :(
Is banggood reliable?

Please help me

(If I had made any mistake please notify me)( I'm new to RC India; my first post)

You should have asked before ordering. Now RC equipment import is banned in India without a proper import license, I don't know if you have such a license. Without it, the customs department will not release it. While I don't have any personal experience in ordering stuffs over the border, I have been following some of the problems that people are facing while importing items these days. If there is any chance you can cancel the order and get back the money,do it NOW. Fs-i6 is probably available from some local LHS too.

Hey shreeram! dont worry about it. Just write your concern to banggood team. They will clear your doubts. Generally, you will get you product without any hassle as the cost is low. Hope you get you tx without any problem, do update the thread once you receive the tx and let us know your experience!  :thumbsup:

Banggood is very reliable, but if customs figures out that your package contains a radio transmitter, you will not get it unless you can produce WPC approval, which is impossible. Since it is untracked shipping, you have no way of knowing what has happened to it until either the radio or a letter from customs shows up on your doorstep. If customs do hold it, try having it sent back to the seller for a refund.

Balakrishna Reddy

How could this be possible. Banggood generally sends via registered mail if the item cost is above 25$ and there is no such option as unregistered air mail.
However there is very less chance your transmitter getting to you.

Shreeram Spark

Thank you friends for the fast reply😃

1.I don't have any such licence
2.Flysky i6s is not available in my lhs
3.Unregistererd mail was available for me
4.I have already sent my issue to banggood; they are not responding

Sorry😫
I'm quite new to this hobby
I was using only arduino,infrared and Bluetooth for small quads and ornithopters.I chose this tx in order to get good range.

I do not know about the lisence
Should I get a lisence to operate these tx.rx?

If yes how do I get it

Will I get a letter from customs for sure if it doesn't clear?😥

Shreeram don't worry. I checked with the government website. It says that low power radios with 2.5ghz spectrum can be used or purchased without any license but it shouldn't interfere with other bands. Fly sky is a reputed seller so needn't worry. You can have a print out with you if at all someone objects. Wpc India website is the source of info. Good luck with your radio!

Please don't spread false information. Regardless of what kind of radio it will be seized by customs and the average person will not be able to get it out.

Shreeram Spark

Thank you friends

Has anyone faced a same situation :'( as me and got a letter from the customs

francisroan

If it got shipped from Singapore there is less chance it'll be caught by customs. Besides Banggood usually changes the item description in shipping label to something else. I've ordered vtx and a lot of other items from banggood n had to problem with customs. Btw the i6s for 52$. Was it some sort of discount,

Shreeram Spark

Yes I got $10coupon

I have emailed this issue to banggood

Even their live chat is useless
Is there any other way to contact them

What would have happened to the package ???

I have no idea what to do

Do you have any tracking number for your shipment ?

If it is China post, it will land in Kolkata APSO and they will forward to Chennai. Kolkata Post is slowest to update the receipt as well forwarding. It will take a week and more to move out from kolkata.

Without the tracking number it is impossible to track where is your shipment is ?

Just be patient and wait for your shipment.

That is the only thing you can do.

Balakrishna Reddy

It would be better if you dont have tracking because even banggood cannot track it. Banggood cannot say it struct with customs.so you can claim refund process after eta.
