Hi
What a coincidence. Just ordered from them carbon rods 3 days back. Reassured to discover this. The "tubes" probably come from incense sticks tubes (plenty in B'lore). Ingenious. Hope it reaches properly here too.

i too received CF rods from RCD in the same manner. but it took 4 days . the are excellent in communication too

yes RCD is best... The best RC shop in INDIA i've known till date...

Its really good that we have an increasing number of good and helpful LHSs for RC enthusiasts. I have had some dealings with RCBazaar in Bangalore and Rotorsports in Chennai. Both of them have impeccable service and are always ready to help.

RCD Rocks !!!

I too received my Carbon Rods in perfect order & in time. One more proof that RCD is one great dependable source.

Next feedback comes for Mr.Vivek Kumar Singh (rcelectro.com)
it was an order for propeller set.not only he sent me on time but it was well packaged.all propellers were in perfect condition.now i have placed another order and payment has been diposited yesterday.just waiting from him for updates regarding this.good luck mr.vivek.god bless you.

For electrics robotics etc etc Vk is the best

yeah mr.vk singh is the best however getting reply from him sometime takes ages, i had to call him today to make sure whether my order is being taken or not as on his site it is still pending, he said he will dispatch it today or on saturday.

Dont ever buy from LHS . About 3 months ago i wanted to get into planes, so i badly needed a 6ch radio. Then i walked into this store called India Hobby Center. The store person over there Demanded 11500 for the Fly SKy t6a. Then he told he would sell it to me at a discounted price of 9500. MY GOD! the same one which is HKT6a costs only 1000 and can get it for 2000 incl shipping. so dont ever trust LHS guys. Depending on how rich u r they try to extract as much money as possible from u.
Recently when i asked the same guy how much a Savage X 4.6 RTR costs, he told 35000 INR
and also said that the Jato 3.3 RTR costs 38000 INR WTH!?! .

plus the LHS prices are as follows:
15 amp esc = 3500 rs
2832 1400kv BL outrunner plane motor 200w = 3200 rs

I hope you realize that the world has all types of people (and all types of hobby shops).  The same radio is available hassle and shipping time free here :

and THIS IS ALSO an LHS.

im speaking in particular to the Indian Hobby Centre which is also an LHS, if you can understand what im sayin!
u get the point ><

You have generalized by saying..

PS: You should have been clearer...

listen anwar i just shared my experience OK. Am i prohibited from doing that or what?

Hey, don't get angry. Anwar was making things clear. Your generalization was wrong and that is what prompted his reply. By saying " Dont ever buy from LHS", you mean to say that all of them are junk.

And nobody told you not to share your experiences.

You did not say "Dont ever buy from IHC".  It was the generalization of all "LHS" that may mislead others (especially newcomers) who may read your post.  I hope you get the difference

Your feedback about the experience at IHC would be very useful to others, no doubt.  And you are not alone... see this :

But putting all LHS in bucket is not fair to many other LHSes who try to make this hobby affordable/accessible in our country. 

oh k ill take back that 1

@dhaksha_dx
you are right it happens sometimes.all you can do is check all LHS and pick that suits you.
In my case i found some LHS really useful and responsive.
RCELECTRO
nice lhs and mr.vk singh is doing really wonderful job.
RCFORALL
allmost instant response.
RCHOBBYADDICT
quick response

there are so many good lhs here would love to check them.

I prefer few LHS's. I didnt have any issue while transacting with them and i will continue to buy from them. In fact the dealer sold these items (spares) at rates cheaper than tower hobbies

I had gone to Model Art( BLR) today. It wasn't a positive experience. I got my stuff but the support was not great. So, this is going to get rambly...

I called the shop and asked if they would be " Open for business" and I was told that they would be open for business. I asked this because I had a feeling that the shop might be closed or not selling stuff today due to the pooja... So, I walked over to the door and was about to open the door but I was stopped. The guy who stopped me said that the pooja was going on. I roamed around Forum mall for 10 minutes and went back. The guy said the same thing. Spent another 10 minutes and came back to get the same reply. I went back after 10 minutes to get the same reply. Finally, I gave him 'the look' and said that I needed 2 bottles of oil. But the guy wasn't ready to let me in. 'The face' finally worked and I got my stuff. At the end of this, I thought.... Had I gone in there as a guy who was sure he would buy a car, I'd have left without one. It seemed like they didn't want to sell their stuff . I can't attribute it to the festival because I had particularly asked if they would be "Open for business". When I did go in, there were no signs of a pooja. I'm not sure whether I'll go back there  ....

I noticed another thing. If I entered the shop as a guy with no idea of hobby grade RC, I wouldn't have noticed the RC stuff. It wasn't showcased very well.

For the TLDR people, I didn't enjoy shopping there and I'm not sure if I'll go there again. I have no problem with the oils I got. I do have a problem with the way I was treated as a potential customer. I had called and asked them if they were open and I had told them that I'd be going there. I wasn't expecting a king's welcome or anything but I didn't feel like they wanted to sell anything. I hope others who go there have a better experience. I am going to stick to Throttle RC ( Jayanth)....
