    Hobby King have some great value stuff, but the website can be a bit of a pain to navigate, especially with their multiple warehouses. So here are some of the useful items and their product links (Click the names).
    In short, UK Warehouse: Not as cheap, reasonable postage time and cost, easy returns, collection option.
    International Warehouse: Very cheap, expensive P&P for large items, long postage time, returns more complex.

    Radio Gear:
    Orange Rx 6ch - Cheap DSM2 tech Rx.
    Orange Rx 7ch - More money but failsafes on all channels.
    Orange Rx 4ch - More money but tiny!
    Orange T-Six - DX6i clone at a fraction the price. International WH only. No DSMX.
    HK 6 Ch Tx/Rx - Hobby King's own 2.4Ghz system. Full of features, very cheap! Not DSM2 international WH only.
    HK compatible Rxs - Not as cheap as the OrangeRxs, but not bad!

    Li-Po Voltage Checker and Alarm -Very useful for quickly checking batteries after a fight and making sure you don't drop too low while testing (You won't hear it in the arena though!)
    Li-Po Bag - Massive bag, tiny price. You need one, it's in the rules. No really.
