Default Where is a good place in singapore to buy rc helis?

Looking for a place in singapore which sells good helis with available replacement and options parts. Looking for a place which sells 4ch and 6ch helicopters. I know there are a few places in Sim Lim Square but the prices of the Helis there seem to be much higher than expected.

Thanks in advance

Helis are costly, especially the high performance ones. It would be meaningless to get a super simple heli. With tight budget, your best bet would be HK. Are you getting it for yourself or for someone else?

In that case, it may not be wise to get him a heli. A heli that he would like is probably something in the performance range. Also, there are variants of brands and models that flies significantly different from each other. You can't simply choose a random high-grade heli and expect that it would suit him - unless you know exactly what he wants.

Try getting him something that he would definitely appreciate.

Would he enjoy quads? The Walkera LadyBird and QR are great indoor flyers and able to take on our local outdoor winds.
