Transmitters and...

RC transmitters and receivers are the link between you and your model. At The Flite Lab we focus on reliable 2.4GHz radio systems that are easy to use, easy to bind and well supported locally. Whether you are learning on a basic 4 channel trainer or flying a fleet of park flyers, gliders and foam board builds, a good radio set gives you precise, predictable control on every flight.

Our range covers simple 4 channel radios for trainers, park flyers, slope soarers and bait boats, as well as full featured computer radios with extra channels, model memory, mixing and telemetry support. This lets you start with an affordable entry level radio and then grow into more advanced features as your flying and your models progress.

Receivers in this category are matched to the transmitters we sell so binding is straightforward and documentation is clear. All of the radio gear we stock is tested and supported locally, and we ship orders quickly with easy delivery anywhere in South Africa.

Boats

The Boats category covers radio controlled boats designed for use on dams, lakes and calm water, offering a different driving experience to cars and aircraft. RC boats focus on balance, throttle control and smooth steering, making them appealing to users who enjoy precision and speed on open water.

This category includes a range of electric powered boats, from smaller entry level models suited to casual weekend use, to higher performance designs built for speed and responsive handling. Typical use cases include recreational running on still water, learning basic RC boat control, and hobby use where setup and maintenance are kept simple and accessible.

All boats in this category are stocked in South Africa and shipped countrywide. If you are unsure which model suits your water conditions, experience level or available running space, we can help guide you toward a suitable option before purchase.
Building Supplies and...

Quality building supplies for RC models including balsa, plywood, carbon fiber and more, giving you the materials needed for strong, lightweight builds.
Electric RC Cars and...

Electric RC cars and trucks offer all the fun of radio control without the noise, mess and tuning that comes with nitro. These models run on rechargeable battery packs and brushless or brushed electric motors, so you get reliable performance, simple maintenance and the ability to drive almost anywhere from your driveway and local park to indoor tracks and car parks.

In this Electric RC Cars and Trucks category you will find ready to run scale trucks, trail rigs, drift cars and bashers that are supplied complete with radio, battery and charger, along with more advanced chassis that can be upgraded over time. The focus is on hobby grade electric models with proportional steering and throttle, proper suspension and parts support, so you can enjoy realistic driving, tune the handling and fit hop up parts as your skills grow.

All electric RC cars and trucks listed here are stocked in South Africa and shipped countrywide using trusted couriers. You can choose the delivery option that suits you at checkout and get local after sales support if you have questions about batteries, chargers, spares or recommended upgrades for your chosen model.
Rapid Build Series...

The Rapid Build Series Model Kits are designed for pilots who want to get in the air quickly without giving up good flying characteristics. These RC aircraft kits arrive as precisely cut parts that go together with straightforward build steps, making them ideal for anyone who enjoys building but does not want a long, complex project before the first flight.

This range covers a variety of model types, from relaxed park flyers and trainers to more agile sport models, all designed around practical RC gear and common power setups. The kits are laid out with sensible hardware choices, clear structure and easy access to batteries, servos and receivers, so you can focus on flying rather than fighting the airframe.

All Rapid Build Series Model Kits are stocked in South Africa and ship locally, which means faster delivery times and no surprise customs or import delays. Orders are dispatched anywhere in the country using reliable couriers, so you can plan your next build and flying session with confidence.
Balsa Model Kits

The Flite Lab Rapid Balsa Kits are Precision Cut from Balsa and Ply. These kits fit together like no other kit you have built before!
Chargers

RC battery chargers are the backbone of any flying session, keeping your LiPo and NiMH packs ready to go and charged safely. A good charger does more than just push power into a pack, it balances individual cells, monitors voltage and temperature and lets you match charge rates to your batteries so you get consistent performance and long pack life on every flight.

In this chargers category you will find compact field chargers for quick top ups, simple NiMH units for receiver packs and advanced multi chemistry LiPo balance chargers for main flight packs. The focus is on reliable, hobby grade chargers that are easy to set up, work well with common 2S to 6S LiPos and NiMH packs and integrate cleanly into typical RC aircraft, helicopter and car charging setups, whether you are charging off mains power at home or using a DC supply at the field.

All chargers listed here are stocked in South Africa and shipped countrywide using trusted couriers. You can select the delivery option that suits you at checkout and get local after sales support if you have questions about charger settings, battery compatibility or safe charging practices.
Servos

Reliable servos for RC models including popular brands like Savox and SG, delivering precise control, strong torque and dependable performance.
Glues, Nutlock and...

Here you will find a range of professional, quality adhesives, tapes and nutlock for high grade, long lasting bonds.
Motors and ESC's

Brushless motors and ESCs for RC, delivering efficient power, smooth control and reliable performance across all setups.
Helicopters

RC helicopters offer a different kind of fixed location flying compared to planes, letting you hover, move precisely in tight spaces and practise controlled approaches without needing a runway. This category is dedicated to RC helicopters with stabilised flight systems and 2.4GHz radio control, aimed at pilots who want the feel of a proper hobby grade heli rather than a simple toy.

Our range starts with micro models like the WLToys XK K127 Eagle, a flybarless fixed pitch helicopter with 6 axis gyro and altitude hold that is ideal for beginners learning to hover and fly smooth circuits in indoor halls or calm outdoor conditions. As the category grows it will focus on reliable, well supported heli designs that use common batteries and parts, so you can spend more time flying and less time hunting for spares.

All RC helicopters listed here are supplied from stock held in South Africa and shipped countrywide using trusted couriers, with clear tracking and support. You can choose the shipping option that suits you at checkout and get local after sales help if you have questions about setup, batteries or flying conditions.

Toys & Puzzles

Our Toys category focuses on build and play products that teach something, rather than disposable novelty toys. You will find STEM aligned kits such as puzzles, marble runs and space rail style track systems that encourage problem solving, planning and hands on learning through assembly and experimentation.

This range suits kids, teens and adults who enjoy building, tweaking and improving a setup over time. Many of these items reward patience and careful work, because you are learning how the parts fit together, how motion and gravity work, and how small changes affect the result. They also make great gifts for anyone who likes engineering style projects but wants something simpler than a full RC build.

All items in this category are stocked in South Africa and shipped countrywide. If you are choosing between kits, we are happy to advise on difficulty level, recommended ages and what tools or time to budget for the build.
