RC stores in Hong Kong and Guangzhou

[trsqr]

Hello all Chinese members of rcgroups,

I am visiting Guangzhou and Hong Kong next week, and I thought, that it would be nice to visit some RC stores while there.

Can you recommend me any? I am mostly interested in electrical flight, but have an open mind for everything...

Thanks!

Let me translate this for you...

我將在下個禮拜到廣州與香港. 我想去看看附近的模型店.

請問各位有沒有什麼建議? 我的主要嗜好為電動飛行, 但什麼都可以接受.

謝謝!

其實我也想知道. 我最近將到深圳去一趟, 途中也會經過香港.
請大家指點一下那家模型店值得一遊.
謝謝!

广州有一德路，有很多模型店，我可以找人带你参观，至于深圳有也有朋友在那里，不过好的模型店不多，我可以 帮你联系一下。

深圳至廣州當天來回應該沒問題吧?

上海有較多的模型店嗎?

上海的模型店我不清楚,但我有很多模友在那里,我可以帮忙联系,广州深圳当天来回比较累,坐汽 车要2小时/单程.

Thank you both, for your responses. Is there a chance, that you could translate that for me, as my computer cannot display the Chinese characters at all. :confused:

Sorry we were just discussing where the shops are. No specific shops were mentioned yet. I'll translate as soon as something is posted.

The "Kwong Wah Street" in Hong Kong has a full street of rc. I'm not sure how many are air based though :p

2 places we go in Hong Kong is Radar, HK distributer of World Models, pretty big shop. Check their site for location, the MTR Ngau TAu Kok exit, when you get off the train turn around, look down and slighly to your right and you'll see the shop.

Another place called Waigo, the MTR Yau Ma Tei exit, across the street from the YWCA.

A couple of places in Guanzhou, but I can't tell you how to get there, but they're right next to a school and across the street from either a Bank of America branch or an HSBC brance. Not to many of either there.

Hope it all helps. A couple here in Dongguan where I live, one sells moslty Helis and World Model stuff, other has a variety but I've never purchased there.

Have fun here in the Middle Kingdom

I´ve been browsing the www for long time looking for supplier/manufacturer of this budget but high quality products coming from Asia.
When a type "R/C" on bussines searcher like www.made-in-china.com, www.toybase.com.tw, http://chinasuppliers.alibaba.com, I got a huge list of links, many of them written in very nice chineese but unreadable for me or they are only wholesaler stores.
Although I haven´t get what I looked for I saw very interesting things in this sites like chinnese 1985 record CL speed breaker nowdays is engine designer, or that Thunder Tiger is not the only one chineese microturbines supplier ...
HiModel is quite well but I don´t meet any one of their payment options by now. Can you mention me any other on line model main RC supplier?
My interests are glow powered airplane, 2 and 4 strokes. I´m loking for the ASP 4 stokes engines.

Thank you

Thank you
Most items with a half decent brand behind it wont be able to be purchased direct from china unless you pay local tax 17% or buy it OEM (MOQ 1,000pc).

I can help you out with ASP or Magnum engines (same factory and product, different casting plug for branding)
send me an email at: anthony.hand@aisaexs.com

Hi Anthony, thanks for the info. Mong Kok seems to have just about everything and anything these days.

JoeVen, I've used www.gr-exp.com for a couple of orders, shipped a few sets to U.S. and to my place in China.. straight up folks, but not particularly well priced in some items. ASP engines I can get cheaper from my LHS here in Dongguan..

Some of the planes were from the Shenzhou-Nanlong group I believe, www.nanlong.com haven't been successful in contacting them direct through their alibaba site. What I have recieved varies from just ok to pretty good quality, again probably reflecting the cost basis of the original customer. Prices on planes are good, but transportation cost will kill you unless you're buying a half container full or more.

Hope this all helps.

過年後. 廣營 Gws 也將開始大力推廣產品到廣東地區的模型店. :)

尤其以東莞市為起跑奌. ;) 漸次推廣到全國各地.

In the meantime after posted my message google got me a lot of sites in chinese!!! :confused: what I didn´t understand at all but visual lenguage of pics wonderfull worked for me :)
My experience? not much but I have something to share... www.tymodel.com shows gasoline and SC 4-stroke engines I was looking for, a very kind salesman answered all my questions in perfectly readable english...
The best prices in engines I´ve seen has Radar http://www.rich8.com/8/shop/wd.php?wdid=radar...
Very nice the jets planes offered in www.radiocontrol-2005.com, even more interesting are the turbines WOW made in China...
I´m waiting Chinese New Year Holidays ends to shopping engines small accessory relative affordable in shipping.
Yes JetAgeHobo, it is a shame a lot of good quality, nice look and great price airplanes have the lack of high freight costs, but I´m working it :rolleyes:
Happy buying and better flys
