"SymaToyStore" Is this website reliable? Has anyone bought anything from them and received the items?

I try to buy everything through Amazon or Ebay. These quads have gotten so popular that many "sell out of your garage" companies have recently popped up.

With Amazon and Ebay you have a little more protection, IMO.

You might have to pay a little more, but for instance, with a little searching, a Syma X5 can be shipped from California.

They seem to have high ratings and satisfied customers.

Wayne Hobbins yheaa... I bought the Syma X5C in Amazon, but now I need a new motor, and they are not cheap there because the "Postage & Packaging" is twice the motor value... By the way, do you think amazon could replace my Syma X5C? (One motor died...)

Not sure on replacement, but if you have a Prime Account: http://www.amazon.com/CRW-Spare-Anti-clockwise-Motor-Clockwise/dp/B00MVKAZNY/ref=pd_sim_t_33?ie=UTF8&refRID=0Z5VAHCKMJEJ7CPZ297B

Five bucks a motor isn't bad.

Plus, I always question a company that doesn't know a "copper gear" from a brass one. Pretty sure those gears are brass.

It's also interesting that their IP address location is in Provo, Utah. (?) Would this be normal for a Chinese company?

Wayne Hobbins Yheaa... but on that website I can get one motor for: 4.42€ on amazon the cheapest I can found is 12.25€ ....

Ahhh, you are in Europe. Have you tried BangGood? Or Amazon UK?

The prices I was talking were from Amazon.co.uk .... (I'm not from UK so, I need to pay the Postage & Packaging) but I did not remembered banggood! And it has a pretty good price!

[G+_Wayne Black]

Looks good and with free shipping you could buy two!

Just make sure you order the proper motor.

Wayne Hobbins I bought the 2 (did not wanted to think if I needed the counter-clockwise or clockwise motor and I might need another in the future....)

[G+_Rodrigo Graça]

Wayne Hobbins and the others, thanks for your help, I will wait and post and update when I receive them.

[G+_Wayne Black]

You're welcome! It's windy here today so no flying and I was bored.

[G+_Rodrigo Graça]

Wayne Hobbins I probably will not fly for 2-3 weeks waiting for the motor...
