Add Your Hop-Ups & Upgrades

Bought a selection of upgrades along with your new kit? We can install them as part of the build rather than leaving you to figure it all out yourself.

Some aftermarket upgrades can require minor modifications, adjustments or careful installation to work correctly. Our experienced builders can identify these issues during the build and make sure the components work together as intended.

Electronics Installation & Setup

We can also install and configure the electronics required for your model.

Depending on the model and equipment, this can include:

  • Motors
  • Electronic speed controllers (ESCs)
  • Servos
  • Receivers
  • Transmitter setup
  • Battery installation
  • Power systems
  • Lighting systems
  • Radio programming
  • Final operational checks

The Advantage of Professional Setup

A model can be assembled exactly as shown in the instructions and still require careful adjustment and setup to achieve the best results.

Our experienced builders understand the importance of correct installation, adjustment and configuration, helping you get the most from your model.

You enjoy the model. We take care of the build.

Built in Our RC Workshop

Your model is built by experienced RC enthusiasts in our dedicated workshop, where we have the tools, equipment and knowledge required to handle a wide range of RC projects.

We can work with kits purchased from RC Model Store as well as suitable kits supplied by customers.
