Hi gents,
Sorry for being so secretive, it's nothing special really but I cannot disclose in public as I do not want to get into trouble with the law just in case they are looking.
As a compensation, I can share my personal experience on online shops :
1) www.rcmart.com - so far no problem. Takes a little time to process but ask for EMS & the items can get to you doorstep about 1 week+ from time of order
2) www.rc-mushroom.com - professional & fast
3) www.stellamodels.net - my fave for Tamiya models. Professional & fast. Did I say fast ? Ordered 2 Yokomo Drift models on Tuesday & the items at my office on Friday.
4) www.amainhobbies.com - big online store. I get offroad nitro stuff from them. If u specify EMS courier, item can to yor doorstep in about 1 week
5) www.stormerhobbies.com - pretty good too
6) www.rc-monster.com - BL & lipo power supplier. Been good to me but I can't seem to get him to do custom machining for me anymore
7) www.b-p-p.com - had a little problem on the first ever order from him but eventually got my stuff. Subsequent orders have been ok no problem
8) www.rcmodel.com.hk - never gonna order from them again. Charged me full amount & shipped partial with promise that the rest of the items will ship once they restock - never happened
9) www.rc4wd.com - same as above. I'm guessing they screw foreign buyers while serving locals
10) www.findesignrc.com - never ever gonna buy from them ever. Everyone who asks online whether they should buy from these guys I will strongly emphsize that these guys are no worth the time. Charged my cc twice for 1 transaction. The second charge came months afterwards. If I did not detect it, it would have gone through.
11) www.himodel.com - rise of China - I buy mostly a heli/plane stuff from this place. Shows that the Chinese are becoming a force to be reckoned with. Very professional. Will not take your money until they physically check their stock & confirm everything is in order. Cheap & acceptable quality
12) www.cheapbatterypacks.com - I buy batteries & battery building supplies from these guys
13) www.unitehobbies.com - another Chinese site - good dealings with them so far.
14) www.rajanghobby.com - ok, the're local to me but I like these guys based in Sibu, 8 hours bus ride away.
Take note that these are my personal experience & your mileague may vary.
Regards,
Joe Ling

I got my TXT-1 from them, but not after I lost USD$200 due to their incompetency. My tip: find other online retailers or shop on eBay. RCMart isn't worth the trouble.
They might have good prices, but what's the point if you're gonna get fleeced anyway? Their English-challenged staff will be a headache to deal with, and they will mess things up. If you're on eBay, check out sellers 'speedie-racers' and 'integrajspec' - I trust them.

Hi,
Although I have never ordered any kit from them, I have bought spares & they are fast & reliable. They will not break the law. So, u are looking at 15% tax on top of whatever amount u paid. Please get them to declare as toy parts to enjoy the tax %. Otherwise, u are at the mercy of customs on how they interpret the content of the order. For example, some items like wire I think incur a huge tax % while others require AP !

Aw hobby,
Dont scared others from buying stuffs from oversea. We all want to play rc but if the prices are too expensive in Malaysia, no one can blame them from buying from oversea.
Custom cant simply put any tax they want. They know for sure that they can only tax us based on the invoice stated on top of the parcel. So far, i havent heard of any case where custom simply tax as they like. As a member of public, we can file a complaint to their superior or we can demand reevaluation of the goods.

Azmin,
I would like to support the local hobby shops but most of the prices are too expensive and not much choice. So I buy parts that I desperately in need from Thomas, Wong or AhChai, they can give reasonable prices on certain things.
If I can wait parts or I need an upgrade, I can either buy it from Stormer Hobbies or RC Mushroom.
