Quote:noted.:smiley2: i’m fully aware that the high price is a result of people charging what they have to for all those reasons you mentioned panda, it’s a shame it has to be that way
as aaron stated, cost was the main reason i hadn’t ventured into the rc world. even i knew that the top of the line rc’s from dse or tandy are pretty crappy and likely to fail drastically therefore dissapointing the buyer. but i wouldn’t be into the hobby if it wasn’t for $15 clones being sold at the melb show.
like trash was saying, most rc toys are better bought on the net, but you can’t beat walking into a hobby shop and talking to the staff, as opposed to dse, etc where the staff don’t know what they’re selling. i buy all my little supplies at the lhs even if it’s a bit pricey, it’s a bargain when you factor in a face to face conversation with someone knowledgable in the area.:8ball:Try buying various components from there! Nightmare, especially when you get a female cashier (that was not meant to be sexist, just a fact). I usually go to jaycar. I used know a bloke that works there who gives me insane deals, if something is under 5 bucks he cbf scanning it so he just gives it to me. Once i made a digital tacho with 20 high intencity LEDs, 2 LM3914’s, a TLC555 and a few more bits. Total value was around $65 but i only paid $5!!!!!
