Whether you snapped a driveshaft on Saturday's trail run or you're building a crawler from scratch, sourcing RC car parts in the Philippines has never been easier. From dedicated hobby shops in Metro Manila and Cavite to online sellers on Shopee, Lazada, and the RCPinas marketplace, Filipino hobbyists have more options than ever. This guide breaks down exactly where to find the parts you need — near you and online.
RC Car Parts Available in the Philippines
Most RC parts used by Filipino hobbyists are either locally stocked or available through e-commerce with 2–5 day delivery. Here are the most commonly sourced categories:
LiPo Batteries
LiPo (Lithium Polymer) batteries are the most frequently replaced RC part in any hobbyist's kit. In the Philippines, 2S to 4S packs are widely available through local hobby shops and trusted online sellers. Expect to pay ₱800–₱3,000 depending on capacity (mAh) and discharge rating (C). Jac's RC Crawler is one of the most trusted local sources for premium RC LiPo packs — known for quality and reliable service across the Filipino RC community.
Servo Motors
High-torque, metal-gear servos are essential for rock crawlers and scale trucks. Brands like Savox, Injora, KAR Hobby, and Annimos are popular and widely stocked at Philippine hobby shops. Waterproof servos are strongly recommended for trail and crawling use. Prices range from ₱500 for budget brushed servos to ₱5,000+ for premium high-torque units.
Electronic Speed Controllers (ESCs)
Brushed and brushless ESCs are available at most RC hobby shops and online. Hobbywing, Surpass Hobby, and Castle Creations are the most common brands in the local market. Motor+ESC combo sets are available at competitive prices and are popular for brushless conversion projects.
RC Tires and Wheels
RC tires are among the fastest-selling parts in the Philippine RC scene — especially mud-terrain and crawling compound tires. Proline, BFGoodrich-licensed RC tires, Injora, and Pit Bull Tires are popular. Not sure which compound to pick? Read our Proline G8 vs Predator compound comparison for Philippine terrain conditions.
Shock Absorbers
Oil-filled aluminum shocks are a go-to upgrade for crawlers and bashers. Injora, Yeah Racing, and RC4WD shocks are popular budget-to-mid-range options available locally and through Shopee. Length and bore diameter must match your chassis — check your manual before ordering.
Body Shells and Scale Accessories
Licensed body shells — Toyota Land Cruiser, Ford Bronco, Land Rover Defender, Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, and more — are sold at Philippine RC hobby shops and through the RCPinas marketplace as second-hand options. Hard body kits are especially popular in the local scale crawling community.
Brushless Motors
Sensored brushless motors for crawling and sensorless motors for bashing and racing are available nationwide. The RC Motor Guide Philippines 2026 walks through KV ratings, sizing, and which motor fits which use case.

RCPinas Marketplace
The RCPinas marketplace is the Philippines' dedicated RC buy-and-sell platform — listing new and second-hand RC cars, parts, and accessories from verified Filipino sellers. It's the best place to find rare parts, score deals on used components, or sell gear you've upgraded out of. Listings are updated daily across all categories.
Shopee Philippines
Shopee has a large RC parts section with Philippine-based sellers. Search for "LiPo battery RC", "RC servo motor", "RC tire crawler", or your specific part. Filter for local PH sellers to avoid long shipping times. Shopee Mall sellers often offer faster dispatch and easier returns.
Lazada Philippines
Lazada is another strong option for RC parts, with both local and international sellers. Good for standard parts like connectors, battery chargers, ESCs, and hobby tools. Check seller ratings and delivery estimates before ordering.
Facebook Buy-and-Sell Groups
The Philippine RC community is highly active on Facebook. City- and brand-specific RC buy-and-sell groups are a great source for second-hand parts at fair prices. Hobbyists also post in the RCPinas community feed when they have parts to sell.
Tips for Buying RC Parts in the Philippines
- Verify compatibility before ordering — Always match part specs to your vehicle: voltage range, connector type (XT30, XT60, Deans), servo dimensions (standard, mini, micro), and scale.
- Buy from verified sellers — Use the RCPinas shop directory or marketplace with verified listings to avoid counterfeit or mislabeled parts.
- Go local when you can — A local RC shop means same-day pickup, no shipping damage risk, and support if something's wrong with the part.
- Check the RC community — Other hobbyists near you are the best source of recommendations. Find your nearest RC spot, join the local scene, and ask what shops they trust.
- Bundle where possible — Motor+ESC combo sets, shock absorber pairs, and tire+wheel combos often offer better value than individual parts.
- Keep spare driveshafts and CVDs — These are the most commonly broken parts on crawlers. Sourcing replacements locally before a trail run saves a ruined Saturday.
