I think I have FPV-itis

I have been ordering bits and pieces from Hobby RC for roughly a year now for the two FPV drones I now own and love (one of which is from the Hobby RC guys (Mobula 7)). I have used other companies for drone bits but have not felt the confidence I do with Hobby RC, the code and candy are also a very nice touch to deliveries. I think prices are fair, the delivery is prompt and the customer service has been courteous and also prompt in reply.

Thanks you Hobby RC folks, you are my go to for supplies.

Many thanks

Perfect place for buying lipos

Great items, the 3s lipo was safely and well packaged as lipo a can be dangerous but they know what they are doing, and I have tested the lipo on a voltage alarm and everything is all good 👍 super fast delivery and they added a nice sweet in the package too so everything considered they are a great website to buy from. 5 stars.

Best UK FPV supplier by far

I have been using HobbyRC regularly for a few months now - they are the best FPV supplier in the UK by far.

Considering the stock situation worldwide, their offerings are very good, and well priced. Delivery is rock solid and next day, every time.

Mike will help you over email if you need it, no question.

Can't recommend them enough.

HobbyRC unacceptable customer relations

I will never purchase items from HobbyRC again, faulty out the packet item received
Tested with multimeter and when I reached out them politely explaining and asked for a replacement offering video evidence, they kept coming up with excuses trying to pass blame to me, then cut contact
Refusal to uphold consumer rights and will be reported.
If you value your consumer rights, don't use this company.

Reply from HobbyRC

Sadly, despite trying we were unable to make this customer happy on this occasion. Looking through the order notes it seems the customer was refunded for the servo. At no point were any consumer rights refused as inferred. Conversation was a simple polite back and forth trying to get to the bottom of the fault because a product not intended for alternative usage had been purchased (Spare part for specifc 1S micro plane being used outside designed voltage range on another model).

Fantastic!

Ordered twice with HobbyRC (Radiomaster TX16S is epic by the way) and they have been fantastic. Really quick dispatch and delivery times and good honest prices. Thank you very much guys!

Good store

Been using them for a while first without then with an account. No messing about when I needed to return an order, prompt delivery (the sweets are a nice touch), responsive to queries, and good range of stock.

First time that I have ordered from HobbyRC UK

First time that I have ordered from HobbyRC, which was a modest order of a handful of XT60 male plugs.

The order was placed last Friday and arrived through my letterbox the following morning, as expected.... with a very tasty sweet included in the package 😋

Good reliable service and I will not hesitate to order from HobbyRC again, based on this experience.

Goods supplied Promptly but Oh Dear on Support

Goods supplied promptly and as promised but when it comes to support OH DEAR.
Product did not work as described when trying to contact the company for support - only available 4 days A week and only 3 hours per day.
When you ring them you get an answering machine saying they will ring you back but they don't when emailing them they say it will be at least 72 before you get a reply.
- comes across as we have had your money now go away !!!

Awful

Awful. Connectors didn’t fit together and remote was missing in a box that advertised a remote in package. My poor son was so disappointed on Christmas Day when he opened the box. Apparently you can get the plane on its own but they put it in the box with a remote advertised in it. Then I returned it securely and they said the plane was broken and connectors did fit. It’s a lie. DO NOT USE THIS WEBSITE. Dodgy suppliers that fiddle.

Not just fast delivery...

I've always been happy with the prices and rapid delivery.

For the first time I had an issue with an item - It was quickly sorted and they kept informed throughout.

Great comms and service.

I've ordered from this company on two…

I've ordered from this company on two occasions with orders totaling several hundred pounds. On the last occasion I purchased an beginner FPV kit. The item appeared to malfunction intermittently almost immediately but I wasn't sure if it was a fault because this FPV stuff can be very complicated for a beginner and I thought it might just be the settings. Eventually it became apparent that there was indeed something wrong with the item after I reset everything to the manufacturers default settings but the fault continued to occur and actually increased in frequency over time. After about 2 months the quad would rarely arm properly because the rear motors would twitch and shutdown if I tried to take off.

When I reached out to HobbyRC for assistance I was eventually informed that "There is no warranty on a flown/used quad other than best endevaours with the manufacturer". A claim that I suspect is legally dubious given that this was a brand new item purchased from a UK vendor and was not even 6 months old.

Consequently, I am now very vary about doing business with this company. I may purchase from them again but will do so with caution because (unlike some of their competitors) I do not believe they will take proper care of their customers if something goes wrong.

Great tech advice & products

Got some great advice from Mike on tech support on what fpv gear I should go for (no cheesey/forced sales guff either). Advice was spot-on and all stuff I bought worked just as he said. They even bung you a tasty fruit sweet & a discount voucher off next order - beltin! 🙂👍

I can't fault this company at all

I can't fault this company at all. Ordered 2 planes and some batteries. A few minor issues that were dealt with generously, promptly and professionally and were not the fault of HobbyRC. Will definitely use them going forward.
