View Full Version : Advise on Purchasing Raptor 50 Titan Kit?
Does anyone have any good recommendations on where I should buy a Raptor 50 Titan kit?
My LHS is backordered and they say it could be weeks or months.
Has anyone dealt with HeliProz?
Who has the best deal right now?
Any help you could give me would be appreciated.
Bill.

Heliproz is great to deal with. OnlyRaptors, Ronlund, most out there are good to deal with, just shop em for price , they're usually very close to each other.

I'll second heliproz for service and selection, especially when it comes to Raptors.

You're in edmonton? You've got a choice of hobby wholesale and great hobbies, they've both got stores there and sell titans. I'm going to be buying a titan next summer myself, and while heliproz looks really good, I think I'd be violated on customs charges, taxes, etc and will need to go with a canadian store too.

Both have no Titans in stock and tell me weeks or months.
Thanks to everyone that responded to my question . I just placed an order with HeliProz.
I got a combo deal that included the Raptor 50 Titan and OS SX-H Hyper for $579.99 USD.
48.20 for S+H+Ins.
Should be here in 3-5 days.
Cheers.

Let me know what customs/duties/taxes are like, I'm thinking I may order from heliproz too. Just as a general idea of course, your taxes in Alberta will be a little different from mine in Ontario. Is it being sent by courier or post? I've found that generally canada posts customs charges are reasonable while UPS and an extent FedEx (though I've dealt with ups much more) can be kind of exorbitant.

Yeah, I know what you mean. They're sending it Global Priority Mail (USPS). I probably wouldn't have done it otherwise. Brokerage fees with these couriers is usually a killer.
I found another shop in Calgary that has 'em in stock and is willing to ship.
They're called Model Land (modelland.com).
They were willing to ship me (today) the R50 Titan and OS SX-H Hyper for $675 CAD. $429.95 CAD for just the kit. If HeliProz hadn't shipped already I would have gone with them to avoid all the cross border buggery.
