RC Envy was founded with a simple idea: it aims to offer a wide range of high-quality RC aircraft, vehicles, and accessories along with exceptional customer service. They started small, selling items at local meets and online, but they are continuously growing and adding new products. Their goal is to provide customers with the same level of support as a local hobby store, offering a wide selection of products, plenty of inventory, and the convenience of 24/7 shopping. They believe in putting the customer first and always strive to resolve any issues.

Easy shopping, but missing filters

While the website design for RC Envy isn't the most modern (in fact, it looks a bit like a site designed about 10 years ago), we don't have any problems with how the site works. All of their merchandise is listed along the top menu and you can easily access any RC toy you might be interested in, from racing cars to underwater drones. The only place the older styling of the website shows up as an issue is the lack of filters for searching. While you can do a basic "sort by” function on the lists of different RC toys, there aren't any clear filters for style, price, color, or brand as seen at other retailers.

Amazing prices on drones

To get a good read on the prices at RC Envy, we compared their drone and vehicle price ranges as well as the lowest and highest cost RC toys. This way we can see how those prices compare to other retailers in our review. For drones, there is a huge selection at RC Envy. The drones range from popular quad-copters used for filming to underwater drones. The prices go from $20 for four mini quad-copters to $2,200 for an underwater drone that films in 4k.

Fewer choices for other RC vehicles

For the vehicles, the prices range from $85 for a truck to $880 for a monster truck. The cheapest and most expensive options are both drones and were already listed above. One thing to note about the products at RC Envy is that there were fewer listings for RC boats, planes, and regular helicopters (not quad-copters) than at other retailers. But, if you're looking for a new drone, this is the place to go.

Parts for 13 vehicles

RC Envy does offer a few options for spare parts, but it isn't a huge variety compared to other retailers. There are 13 different RC vehicles and drones that RC Envy has parts for. Only one of these products is a drone, so despite selling plenty of drones, getting parts for them at RC Envy may be a little harder.

Free shipping on $250+

One significant aspect that sets RC Envy apart from other retailers in our review is their shipping fees. Given that all RC toys from this store are shipped from Canada, customers might anticipate higher shipping rates compared to many other competitors, and that is true if you have to turn to their flat-rate shipping costs. For any order under $250, RC Envy offers flat-rate shipping for $20 from Canada to the United States. However, if you purchase something that is $250 or more you will still qualify for their free shipping. This threshold is higher than other options on our list, but it's better than no free shipping, especially with international costs.

30-day limited returns

At RC Envy, if you want to return your remote control toy, you have 30 days to do so. Just remember to keep the item unopened and in new condition. But here's the catch: you'll need to pay for the shipping when sending it back to Canada, which can be much more costly than returns within the United States. Also, if you open the box, they won't accept the return, so make sure it's still sealed to get your refund.

No review presence for RC Envy

One thing that worries us about RC Envy is that there isn't much feedback from customers in the remote control toy industry. It's hard to tell how well they do with delivering on time and meeting customers' expectations because there aren't many reviews or comments. With no presence on the Better Business Bureau or on popular third-party review sites like Trustpilot or Sitejabber, there wasn't any clear way to verify if this service was offering the quality they promised.

Top option for drones

Bottom line? If you're looking for drones, especially unique ones, RC Envy is a great place to start. They have a huge selection of drones as well as a range of other RC toys in stock. But with the downside that the company is based in Canada, you might need to be careful if you need to return something due to the extra cost of international shipping. Also, we couldn't find many reviews from other customers, so it's a little hard to know if they are as good as they say. But if you spend over $250, you get free shipping, which is a nice bonus. So, if you love RC toys, and you're in the market for a drone, RC Envy is worth checking out.
