I want to get back to flying my rc helicopters but so much has changed since I got them that I think it's time to make a page with new links. I can't find a lot of the old places where you could buy affordable rc parts, specially for helicopters. Now I'm no expert, this is just a hobby for me but you will need parts when things break.
So here are the links I find as I look again in 2025.
https://hobbyking.com/ - This was a huge place to get parts, but they have scaled back on a lot of things. The good thing is that they are still here and you may still be able to find a few things there.
https://www.dynamrc.com/ - I was looking through some of my old parts and found two of my old GY48V DCTRUM Gyros and that's how I found this site.
https://www.rc711.com/shop/index.php - This site still works and they still seem to carry heli parts.
https://www.rcplanet.com/ - This page still works and seem to still have parts.
https://www.aliexpress.com - You can find a lot of things on this site. I have ordered many things from here.
https://gogo-rc.com/store/index.php?route=common/home - The page still works and they have many parts from briefly looking at the page.
https://www.alibaba.com/countrysearch/CN/spare-parts-for-helicopter.html - Just another site you may find parts. I have never ordered from here so I can't tell you anything else about the site.
https://www.rctimer.com/ - This site is still working as well.
https://emax-usa.com/# - I have used emax servos and they are still in business today.
http://www.ac-rc.com/ - This site is also still working.
https://chinahobbyline.com/ - Batteries. The weird part is that a lot of the new batteries don't have the banana connectors I use on my 450 helis. I just thought those were easier to hold since they are larger plugs. I also use want to use the T/Dean plug on my 250 helis but can't find too many with these plugs. Most are the yellow, black or blue plugs. So now I will probably be updating these plugs. We'll see. The batteries from this vendor come from Georgia and I'm in Los Angeles. I guess they can only send batteries ground shipping so they are taking forever to get to me. I ordered some other batteries from aliexpress after I ordered these and I already got those. So just know this. I didn't know about this until I ordered from here.
Fasteners
http://trimcraftaviation.com/ - I purchased quite a few tiny metric stainless steel screws from here in the past. They are still in business and they are friendly and the gentleman that helped me was very helpful. I was looking for my screws which I finally found but had to organized them since I had them all over the place.

https://www.microfasteners.com/
Rc car parts
https://www.rcmart.com/ - I bought some parts from here years ago and I just checked the site which is still working.
