    Need info on buying RC products in Taipei

    My friend is going to Taipei for holidays and wanted to help me get some RC stuffs.. Anybody got any info if Taipei is selling Trex 500 heli cheaper than Spore. And any shop to recommend in Taipei. Thanks.

    You will find it hard to locate a decent hobby shop there except those selling BB guns. You can try to visit an online shop Infinity-Hobby in Taipei which is famous for super fast shipping for RC heli product mainly Align. Their IT retail shops at NOVA is also disappointing, our SLS is so much better. I could be wrong and didn't dig deep enough the last time I was there.

          Someone PM me on the route to hobby shops in Taipei, so I would like to share it here. Basically, I visited three hobby shops in Taipei only. Here is the link to Taiwan Metro station and its maps : http://english.trtc.com.tw/ct.asp?xI...7496&mp=122032

          OAIRC is closed and will be shifting from its current location.

          Infinity and Chuan Xin are great for heli flyers.


          Here it goes............

          Going to Inifinity Hobby Shop. Take Metro to Kunyang station, alight and walk to Infinity. It is abt 500-750m walk, est 5-10mins walk. U will cross one bridge and the huge park along the Keelung river. Follow the red line in the attached google map.

          See Kunyang Metro station map :

            Here is the route to Chuan Xin hobby shop. For super super good deals on Align stuff.

            Take Metro to Sanhe Junior High School Station. Walk along the red line in my attached google map. U will pass by OAIRC hobby shop which has already closed down.

              Actually, Infinity hobby shop is very near to a few nice places. I spent one whole day at that area. Here is my routine that day. I stayed at Wonstar ChungHua, Ximending area.

              1. Ximen -> metro -> Houshanpi station.
              2. Bring wife to Wu Fen Pu n drop her there.
              3. Set meeting time wif her at SongShan Train Station, 6pm.
              4. Walk from Wu Fen Pu to Infinity. If u not going wif wife, go to Kunyang station and walk from there.
              5. Shop and chat at Infinity for two hours or so.
              6. Take a break at the park along the nice Keelung river.
              7. Walk back to SongShan Train Station.
              8. Sit outside MrBrown coffee at SongShan Train station, make use of their free wifi to surf web n check emails on my Nokia N8.
              9. Wife came n find me wif her barang barang/conquest.
              10. Walk to Raohe night market.
              11. Look see look see, eat this and eat that.
              12. Walk back to Houshanpi station.
              13 Houshanpi -> metro Ximen.

              Thatz a day spent.
