- PA-18 charger $2; FCX18 rooftop rack $5.99; FCX18 shock set $12.99; 6-channel ESC/receiver $30.99; FMS 1/12 Toyota FJ45 RTR $249.99 (official store, checked October 30, 2026).
What we like
- Big parts catalog.
What to watch for
- Return terms are not spelled out clearly.
- Only a small number of customer reviews so far.
- Trustpilot showed 3 out of 5 from about 5 reviews (very few reviews) as of October 30, 2026.
The fine print
- States a 30-day warranty from the date of purchase; we did not find a clear change-of-mind return policy.
The main alternative: Horizon Hobby
Horizon Hobby is a big RC brand and retailer.
What it costs: Varies by item
Pick FairRC Checked by Vetteroo if you…
- want crawler mods.
- want niche parts.
Pick Horizon Hobby if you…
- want clear returns.
- want a big brand.
Our take
FairRC has a deep RC parts catalog, but its return terms are unclear and outside reviews are thin. Follow battery and flying rules for RC aircraft.
