Recently while searching around on Flipkart I came across the toys section and to my surprise saw a buggy..... a proper hobby grade r/c buggy.So I kept searching and saw some more things like- Parkzone pnp models, helis,Buggys and all Hobby Grade!
The best option is COD which satisfies a customer a lot and a very quick delivery period!

This a good competition for the current sellers and maybe a very good option for the buyers who look for a big named company..... but the only problem is high cost, sometimes even that does not matter if you get a quality item!

The line between genuine RC products and these toy kind of products is a bit blurred .
These kind of products have been around most toy stores for  a couple of years  as I know it .
Such stuff is available at most Toy stores like recently I visited Hamley's and express avenue  and Odessey and found these kind of toys all over the place from Burma Bazar or Chandni Chowk to Malls so nothing new really .

As I said the line is a bit blurred I don't know if I would really term Park zone as true RC it is like any nine eagles RTF .
I agree it is from a RC Hobby company but is it true genuine RC products or is it on the border line between toys and RC Products ?
Interpretations could be different .
I will have my point of view and others could differ on that but one thing for sure it will always be debatable

L'enfant Terrible du RCIndia



Flipkart. Had a lot of respect for this company. My family ordered many books which arrived COD and all was well, till a fortnight ago. Daughter ordered a book for Rs.245/-. Book reached, I told the delivery person that I had no change and gave him a Rs.500/- note. He put note inside his bag and requested me for Rs.5/- in change so that he could return Rs.260/- to me. I went inside the house to look for a 5 coin. Got it and gave it to him. He gave me the book and Rs.260/- and then asked for the Rs.500/- note! I told him that I had already given it to him and he denied it completely, "Sir you've just given me Rs.5/- so far." I was forced to give him another 500 note to avoid an ugly situation.

Have called up their Customer Service numbers and lodged 3 complaints. Each time their response has been, "We will get back to you within 24 hours." No one's got back. I have given up. Beware guys.

Thats the Desi business house style of treating Customers as 'Dog' (instead fof God). Flipkart's USP of prices have significantly tumbled in the recent past. I doubt that any single Desi E-Comm site would become Amazon/BestBuy of India due to complete lack of Business Ethics beyond their 'Incubation' period. Even I was troubled with Myntra.com  only on my second order.

+1 Sai.
Toys at serious Hobby item price. Just see the Parkzone RTF prices!!! Ridiculous !
I totally agree with Sai that such More-Toys-Than-Serious-RC  items are being sold for over 6 years now in toy stores, and would come under toys only. A serious flyer would make them as their Kid's first model at its best.

i  have placed an order for  the above heli..... ( Y do  i take such unwanted risks Bang Head).

for simple reasons:
1> if the price  is the same and the heli delivered  is  the one in the pic...... boom... i have a  jackpot Giggle

2>  if they ask for additional  amount i dont pay and send it back to the seller ( i just love COD  Bow)

3> if the dimensions shown  on the site  are  correct then i have a ultra micro  heli..... boom... another jackpot  Giggle

4> if there is slightest difference(in dimensions or the pic)  and i am not happy  i can  always say its not as mentioned on the site and get a refund.....

anyone else willing to  take the risk....!
