RC India

on black friday sale I'm getting FLYSKY I6 Tx And Rx At 3000 rs... Via India Direct Mail.. Should I Buy It ? Pl Give Me Suggestion..

@abirdd
50-50 chances of getting tx and not getting tx.
If you are lucky, you will get tx else tx will stuck in customs you will lose full money.
My Suggestion : Don't take risk!
1. Giving 300-500 more for tx is better than taking risk of losing 3000.
2. There is no need of purchasing brand new tx if you don't have budget. 2nd hand tx will work.

One more thing: you are going to buy tx from banggood. You know about special card for international transactions?

=> Use "Search option" of this forum. You will get answer.

See if there is shipping insurance or else https://www.quadkopters.com/product/tx-and-rx/flysky-fs-i6x-2-4ghz-10ch-afhds-transmitter-with-x6b-i-bus-receiver/

or may be you can buy from here too

sure, via : india direct mail

yeah thank you fr your response... but pl. don't mind if i ask you, if you have bought tx & rx or, any plane body through banggood, specially via india direct mail ? specially was customs charged ?

let me tell you my concern, you'll get better idea. I'm planning to buy Fsi6 tx and ia6b receiver. Now banggod's price us 3k with shipping via india direct mail. and xyzhobbies is giving at 3678 with shipping. Now this is gonna be my first rc setup. Now that my budget is tight that's why I'm hesitating. In xyzhobbies price is a bit high but, it's sure that there won't be any problem regarding customs... but banggod is saving 600, which is way more meaningfull to me, but there's the risk of customs... hope you get the scenario. now what's your suggestion ?

fsi6 is on sale now less price

check www.xyzhobby.com sale section

Numerous times it has been said, procure Tx and Rx locally from LHS. It may be a little costly but you will have it in your hands for sure...it will be worth the money spend.
Importing RC is a big gamble.

There is nothing more that anyone else can suggest. Rest is your call.

@abirdd,
I’m back from my trips, so you can call me.
You may like to consider
1. this HK T4A V2 basic 4 ch set that I bought from an RCI member for a newbie (who then lost interest and never came back) or
2. this 6 ch RICCS that came with the Fantasia ARF I bought from Jack’s Hobbies some 5-6 years ago, but never used, preferring my trusty 12 year old Hitec Optic 6.

Since they are just sitting idle, you can have either one for 2k+200 postage.

If you are interested, I can test fly them to ensure there are no issues (both never flown!)

Regards
