Today we experienced some issues with combo-prices.

These issues are related to the recent changes made by HobbyKing. This option doesn’t work as it used to work before on the HobbyKing website also. Now after you add combo item to your shopping cart the price will remain regular until you add related item to you shopping cart.

So now the system is checking your shopping cart and recalculates prices based on the content and if items are considered combo-items you will receive a discount.

As a result we adjusted our combo-price system on the RCSearch.info.

When you buy something from the backorder I bet you want to know how often it gets to the warehouse.

Now RCSearch can show you the chart of the stock status for each item. This option will help you to make a decision are you ready to wait for this product to arrive or not, especially if this item show up once a year.



To access this information you can click on the icon beside the quantity this will open a separate web page where you can zoom and select different time frames.



Do you thing this information is something you will be using on a regular basis?

If you have ideas about improvement of this option please leave your feedback. 

Now our service beside buddy codes also has combo-price and promo-price. For your convenience we included filter by the discount type.



Be aware that after you select just one type of the discount all the other types will be displayed too. Just in case some better price is available for this item.

Some time ago a few PayPal users received messages about possibility to get 20% discount if they use promo code at the Hobby King check out. Long story short it wasn’t working all the time. Finally people found that all the items that PayPal discount is applied are displayed on this web page. The biggest advantage is that 20%-25% discount is already applied and you can add these items directly to your shopping cart without the need of entering any codes.



Our team created separate type of discount called promo-price so you can see it’s icon beside buddy-price and combo-price. It means you don’t have to check separate page for this type of discount and all the information is accessible in one place, also we included “add to the cart” button for your convenience.

I had an idea and found the possibility to open web page with “add to cart” button centered it makes the purchase easier and faster, no need looking for the button.

Please let me know if this really helps or you prefer to have a regular web page?

HobbyKing is actively changing the structure of their categories. As an example “Multi-Rotors & Parts” has been recently added, some categories were split based on the increased amount of the content.
We decided to keep our RCSearch discount categories’ structure identical to the HobbyKing so you can surf our pages following the same steps.

Most of the RCSearch users know that after they publish their buddy-codes using their nickname a personal web page creates automatically and contains all the buddy codes published by this user. So you can post the link on your buddy-codes page on forums or use it as a signature. This way the person who posted their buddy-codes can get more bonus points and those who buy using these codes benefit from discount prices.

Unfortunately average buddy-code lifetime is around 14 days or less. After all your codes expire your personal web page becomes empty and there is no benefit of posting an empty web page as for example your forum signature.

We are following all the changes and now you can filter our web site merchandise based on the warehouse. New UK Warehouse is also included.

Recently new service “Free item notification” was created and will be added soon once adjusted to the new warehouse.

While shopping for propellers or carbon tubes, rods etc. I observed additional packaging in my shopping cart for example (BOX-379g — Extra Length Cardboard Box and Packing). As per HobbyKing this package is added to guarantee you will receive your parcel with no damage. So while the item that requires additional package is in your shopping cart the package will remain in the cart too.

The only one thing I don't like is that additional packaging has additional weight. As a result the price for delivery will be automatically increased.
On the RCSearch merchandise description has also information about additional mandatory packaging if applicable and the total weight of the item including this additional packaging. Here you can see an example.



Please be aware that search result by the weight of the product will not consider the weight of the additional packaging. The purpose of this is that you might already have one "Extra Length Cardboard Box and Packing" in your shopping cart and just looking to fill the rest of the space with additional items. All the information about the packaging will be displayed beside the item and you make the final decision.

Please share all your concerns and suggestions. 

Today HobbyKing announced new price for this item Polyquest 4950mAh 5S 25C Lipoly (Version 2). Regular price was $159 so it is on sale for three times cheaper than ever.

This can be related to the low stock levels that HobbyKing is trying to clear out. By the way there is no information about this item not in the Flash Sale not in the Sale/Liquidation categories.

This type of sales without announcements and notifications happens on the regular basis. We would like to know if you are interested to see these sales on our web site. We could create a separate category for unexpected price drops.
