Hey Guys, this is my first post. I was keen to buy a heli and checked its price across the board but for a 6 channel Heli not less than 18000 INR.  But beleive me I paid through my credit card and get the Esky 6 channel V2 heli delivered at my home in 11450  :o directly from United States.

Try Bananahobby.com for this puspose.

Welcome to RC India !  :)

Which Esky model did you get ? 

Esky- Belt CP V2

and by the way, Thank you for your welcome ;D

i think towerhobbies is the best in my opinion,

anyways what custom duty and transportaton did u pay??

69 UDS

Does Tower Hobby delivers in India ? I was not aware of it otherwise I would have gone for that only. my fault I joined this forum a bit late  :banghead:

69 includes both shipping and custom?

tower hobbies does have 6 channel helis?
any link please

Banana Hobby has got a lot of bad reviews regarding shipping + quality of products etc on rcgroups...

You were quite lucky I must say..

Congrats & Nice heli! Sweet price too
BTW how much import duty did you pay?

Its available for 200$ i.e Rs. 10000/- on ebay

i told towers with my interest(cars), dont know about helis mann..

Hey guys thanks for the reviews, but ya 69USD is all inclusive. actually one of my freind told me that when pack reach to you, an import/customs duty of 10% to 25% (Depend on the Officer's mood ;) you have to pay, but he also told me that if the product is for personal use and u are not a regular importer they may exmept the duty. :) i was exempted from any kind of duty and all inclusive Heli cost me 238 UDS at my home.

I saw Tower Hobbies but actually I found them very costly  :o and their range of products is also not much wide. I am sure, quality is at cost but, Banana Hobby have wide range of products and quite reasonable pricing.

As far as reviews available on the net is concerned,  ;D I have one thing to say, no company want to give bad service, and reaching out to International audinace have its own challenges.
Its not my luck that I got a better product but it was a bad luck for few guys who have problems with the product. Out of 1000 if 990 are satisfied and they will not write back on net but those 10 will write bad reviews out of frustration and also write as if the vendor is world's worst.  :) I have a request to those also who have good exp should also share thier exp this will give an balanced view.

all these towers stormers bananas' amain' all are very wll known and large scale vendors. they do not sell bad, and are highly competitive among themselves, and thus try there best to satisfy the customers in one or the other way

so if anyone is unsatisfied then its probably some 3rd reason

one thing i can say is that banana hobby does notany of the branded RC cars, all are chinese clones, however i did see some good heli's with them~Walkera(i think its good)

how much time did it took for you to recieve your consignment to reach from banana to your home
