  • Wiring harnesses, telemetry sensors, and connectors

Servos and Actuators for RC Aircraft

Servos are crucial for precise control surface movement. Choosing used servos from reputable brands ensures high performance while lowering maintenance expenses.

  • Micro and mini servos for lightweight foamies
  • Standard and high-torque digital servos for scale models
  • Metal gear options for increased crash resistance
  • Pre-owned servo extensions and mounting hardware

Used Motors and Power Systems

Powerplants represent a significant investment in RC modeling. Pre-owned electric brushless motors and gas engines offer great performance for less.

  • Outrunner and inrunner brushless electric motors
  • Glow plug and gas engine assemblies
  • Motor mounts, adapters, and prop savers
  • Pre-owned electric ducted fan (EDF) units for jet models

Propellers, Spinners, and Airframe Hardware

Replacing worn or damaged propellers and landing gear is common in RC aviation. Second-hand hardware kits and accessories provide budget-friendly solutions.

  • Wood, carbon fiber, and composite propellers
  • Aluminum and plastic spinners in various diameters
  • Main landing gear assemblies and tail wheel brackets
  • Structural pushrods, linkages, and control horns
