Hi Guys
Me and my friend just started building a hexcopter. But procuring components for this has been a real challenge. I live in delhi and the only place to find RC related stuff is Lajpat Rai market. There are 4-5 shops between shop#550-650. The problem with these guys are exorbitant prices and cheap quality stuff. These shops have been mentioned multiple times forums and tutorials for college projects. As a result, they only stock stuff that are just enough for the college project and nothing more. I am looking for some place that can provide us with a whole range of options. Some problems listed.
1. Frame: the only frame option available is the polycarbonate one. Though they are just 1500 for a hex copter. Still I wanna explore bigger and better frames.
2. Motors: they have generic motors. Orange colored brushless with no branding. These motors are very fragile and operate at different RPMs.
3. Props: they have a single size generic prop, no option to upgrade.
4. ESCs: generic 30A yellow esc. Flashing SimonK on these is a nightmare. (compatible design: Hobbypower 30A)
5. Batteries: Generic unbranded liPos. Though they give power. I am using 2x4.2Ah packs on my hex. there is no branding whatsoever about their ratings. can be less, can be more.
So now we wanna buy better components and not college project stuff, also reasonable prices are welcome. I got the batter charger and Tx mod kits from hobbyking via a friend from the US. The prices at hobbyking are much more reasonable and quality is seriously superb.
Can anyone help?
