i should be the sifu in this topic... hahahahahh...
i think i have totalled over RM15k from online shopping...
www.ebay.com has alot of cool RC Stuff as well... and shipping is reasonable (have to pandai pandai search)....
shopping.rcmodel.hk is pricey... shipping is pricey as well...
rc-mushroom.com is a good site... good shipping price but lack of varieties....
precisionrc.com for me is one of the top 2 sites for RC as the shipping is super reasonable and they charge by the weight of the item... so u have an advantage is u buy bulk stuff or alot stuff cause normal Air Shipping is pricey when it comes to more than 3 items... EMS (Express Mail Service in HK/ Pos Laju when reach KL) on the other hand is cost saving money when u buy more than 3 items...
another site where i personally declare the best site in the world!, is...... *drum rolls please*...
rcmart.com!!
hahaha... that site is a great site... almost the same as precisionrc but has plenty of other stuff... and they too offer EMS service...
just for an example of how fast the EMS shipping is, take my online order for instance... i bought a complete yokomo drift package super plus, ESC, motor, servo, 2.4ghz controller, heatsink + 2 fan, bodyshell, 2lipo batt + charger, led with forward brake and reverse light and plenty of extra's only took 2days to arrive... less than that actually cause i paid with PayPal on Tuesday evening, item sent for shipping wednesday morning, arrived at my office today morning... thats how fast EMS is.. if u take normal Air Mail, ur item will be sent out to shipping company fast, but will be stuck at Sepang for at least 5days as i last time bought a phone and passed customs on 19jan but i only received in 30 jan... thats how long our post office will take if you dont pay the priority/express shipping..
errmmm... any other info i cant really remember... but if u guys got any question about this, feel free to ask me... im still noob though...
correct me if im wrong... =)
btw, im not going to reveal my total price as i think u guys will kill me... hahaha.... =)
