What site for cheap parts?

[Martijn]

Hi,

I'm need some new spare parts, but what onlineshop is the cheapest and fastest for shipping (I live in Belgium).

Thanks,
Martijn

JE Spares carry large associated stock levels and their delivery is fast.

liquid rc in the states used to be cheap

a few sellers on ebay too

however they will never be as fast as the uk retailers and the customer service for the online firms is usually not as good

ive had nothing but good experiences with JE and modelsport in the recent past

Ok,
I was first planning to buy my stuff on losipartshouse.com
But I'll take JEspares now
Thanks

I can recommend Losipartshouse, cheap prices and takes around a week to arrive to the UK.

hey Martijn,

as a fellow Belgian I can say that ordering from any EU country should get a big preference.
Avoid ordering from USA unless there's no other way around, import tax min ALWAYS €10, and sometimes up to 50% of the value of items you bought. (bought €100 worth at amainhobbies.com, import tax €50).

from shops in EU you don't pay import tax. items arrive within the same week they are send out, items from .HK take between 1 week up to 4-5 weeks, same with items out of USA.

sending from .DE is faster than from .UK, but haven't found many good .DE based shops

So where do you buy you stuff??

UK:
JE Spares
Modelsport
Wheelspinmodels

DE:
modellbau-friedel.com

BE/FR:
www.mcmracing.com
www.wartelle-shop.com

good/excellent experience with all the above, delivery is within 7 work days, price difference compared to the US/China/HK is imho negligible if you factor in the import tax and shipping delays
