I walked in and was asking questions about racing schedules and what vehicle classes they raced the gentleman at the counter was boarder line rude and unwelcoming and seemed like he didnt want to be bothered with my qustions about the hobby they dont feel the need to help customers that want to spend money so i will be spending mine elsewhere and unless your one of there friends in there clique i recommend you do too.

Terrible customer service and overpriced compared to other local hobby shops. Spend your money with a well established hobby store like nankin hobby that has been serving the metro Detroit area for decades.

Do you guys repair crashed foam planes if I have the new parts if so how much an hour

They mostly do multirotor and cars-- they don't really have any fixed wing stuff. On the other hand, the control systems are similar enough that I'm sure they could give you advice. It's an awesome place! If you have the parts already, though, why not learn to do the repairs yourself?

Excel does buy and sell used drones and other RC equipment, but generally DJI and FPV equipment for drones. We do not deal with Potensic brand. [Edit] We no longer deal extensively with drones, only FPV style. We do however, buy RC Cars, FPV drones and related

I'm thinking about buying a drone for the first time. What do you recommend? Would like to have a long lasting battery and a good HD camera. Don't want to spend a arm and a leg. Thanks

No, apologies, we carry the DJI propulsion systems for larger sized UAS. There are a lot of varieties of larger motors, but we rarely get a call for them.

When will helipal come out with a new storm racing drone with upgraded cam??? Then i would get one,throw a runcam swift 2 on 1 and you will sell one asap to me!

PaT G. (F.P.V. ADDICT) | Nov 6, 2017
Activate FPV | Nov 6, 2017

Why does helipal need to come out with a new drone with upgraded cam just so you can further update it? You could just buy any drone and install a runcam 2 on it. Maybe try the vortex bando slayer from excel rc.and build a quad with all the components you like already on it?
