Hands down the best UK Based FPV RC retailer…

Hands down the best FPV RC retailer based in the UK, I've ordered a lot of stuff from them (and also from a lot of other places) and I can't fault HobbyRC in the slightest!

If you're into RC give them a go, you will not be disappointed.

Sure you can get stuff from BG or HK a little cheaper, but if you have problems with what you get good luck getting it sorted... also, place your order and forget about it for 3-6 weeks (sometimes longer!) as that's my experience with these retailers... an order from HobbyRC will be with you next day (or two days at worst)... for between £5 & £10 more to get it sooner... A "no brainier" to me!!

Absolutely brilliant service can't fault them so far and special thanks to Mike for all his assistance, my new race setup is already smashing my times and I couldn't be happier with the items purchased, will definitely be coming back to HobbyRC for most if not all of my parts in the future, highly recommend!

One of my favourite online UK multi-rotor retailers

One of my favourite online UK multi-rotor retailers that I keep going back to time and again. The prices are always good (a 5% discount if you buy from them again within a month is a nice touch) and the orders are always dispatched very quickly, highly recommended!

Very Good

Very Good. I have bought from many different companies over the years but keep going back to Hobbyrc. They are helpful, fairly priced, answer queries by email and have great customer service.

Doesn’t post negative reviews on website

Firstly I want to make it clear that I still think generally HobbyRC is a good site that stocks a wide range of products at reasonable prices.

However a recent incident has left somewhat concerned.

A friend and I both bought the same product from hobby rc and were upset to find out it didn’t live up to the hype. Its was a good idea that we both left wasn’t quite there yet. So to warn other buyers and share our real world experience of the product we both left honest but low starred reviews.

The worring part is over a month later neither of the reviews have been listed on the site and I assume never will be. Therefore I can not longer trust their user review as they are clearly biased.

I just gotta thank HobbyRC for the great service. Sure, I've had a few issues over the years but it's always been resolved. Always great service and Mr Mike will always reply to any Emails I send.

Occasionally frustrating with some very minor issues but in the great scheme of things HobbyRC just nails it, for me!

Delivery times are great, pretty much always next day!

In my favourites list of RC suppliers and long may that continue!

Put simply...

Put simply.... your one stop shop for anything quad related.

Super quick shipping. Super helpful when you have any problems and have everything you need in stock.

Ordered many thing from Hobby RC and only had one problem which was a faulty battery charger. Cantacted HobbyRC and they talked me through everything, turned out the charger was faulty so gave me a full refund for the charger and said “Chuck the charger away”.

Will always recomend HobbyRC to anyone.

Fast shipping.

Shipping time was exactly as promised.
Items packed with paper to protect them.
Received coupon code.
Received one small caramel candy.
Received three emails: Two status updates (packing & completed) and one tracking number.
EDIT: Just got a reply. They were waiting for a response from the manufacturer. (Increased from 4 stars to 5 stars)
DELETED: Never replied to my question on email (hence 4 stars)

My go-to shop for my quad addiction

Been using HobbyRC for a while now and they're definitely my favourite shop for all things quad-related. Great selection of products, quick shipping and they provide my favourite battery straps.

Contacted them recently on two occasions with questions and I received prompt responses.

Definitely recommended!

Amazing service. Quick Delivery. Great price

A friend and I have bought a few things from HobbyRC.

The other day I ordered some motors and then the next day realised I had to buy propellors as well.

I emailed HobbyRC early in the morning, got a quick reply, made a second order, had them merged and was refunded the shipping on the second one.

Amazing service.

I will definitely be using them again for UK based RC purchases.
