Thanks

There are few shops near ladies market (mongkok).

Depends on what you looking for (looking at where you post this message) I think you looking for heli stuff?
You might want to visit TopTech. They are located on Sai Yeung Choi Street.
The building is called Good Hope (The sign outside the building fell off so all you see is Good). It looks like an apartment building, (look for KFC, it on the opposite side). There is a security guard there who have strange voice, tell him you going to TopTech on the 14th floor. The are only open in the afternoon (12:30 - 1:00) onwards. All they have are heli high end stuff.

Shops in HK do take CC but there is a 3% tax so use cash to save.

Go to Mongkok Kwang Hwa Street area, many RC shops there. The street is behind Kwang Hwa Hospital.

Good and cheap/reasonable rc heli shops in HK?

Reviving this thread cos my friend is going to Hong Kong and I'd like her to help me buy stuff.

Anyone know which rc heli shop in hong kong is honest, good and cheap/reasonable?

Thinking of getting a Spektrum DX6i, Mini Titan parts, tools, cheap carbon/fibreglass rotor blades and other accessories like the align cold light driver and strings.

RC shops in Hong Kong

Really there isn't much choices in HK for RC Helicopter. You can go to Radar company 雷达行 for Futaba and Hirobo stuff. Location is in Kung Tong. Go to TopTech for align and Raptor stuff (e and nitro). Location is in Mongkok as Dennis mentioned. further up at the end of this vegetable street is the Kwon wah street. Most of the shops around Kwon wah street are mainly RC cars, arms replica. Then there's a CyberHeli which does online merchandise. Basically a wahre house with no show room. However, you may be able to make a call in advance to check for items availability and go pick it up later. It's in Tuen Mun (far up north of Kawloon.). All there places can be reached easily by MTR (HK MRT).

So HK isn't an RC shopping haven for heli stuff that I imagined it to be after all huh?

Maybe I order my stuff online better then.

I don't think you can find stuff online selling at this price. Exchange rate is around 1 sing to 5 hkd

[genexis]

the cheapest shop in HK doesn't have a website. It is located at goodhope building, 14/F. Soi Yeong Street.

Found this info on rcuniverse.com posted by a guy named ClementTang

For electric helis:

- "Flying Hobby" at 5/F around the corner just outside the tube exit (namely YauMaTei station) nearest Waigo;

- "3D" at Tung On Street;

- Michael Chan at 14/F of Good Hope Building, Sai Yeung Choi Street

- There's another one on 16/F of PakPoLee Commercial Centre neighbouring Good Hope Bldg.

All the above each within 5 minute walk.

And if you're looking for Walkeras or other Chinese clones visit Temple Street (also in YauMaTei district) and Apliu Street (ShamShuiPo station) and "Radar Co." (NgauTauKok station). The tube stations have local map but you can also check online map here:

I must have typed this a million times maybe the Universe should consider setting up a facility for this?
