Ripmax

General information

Ripmax are one of the UK's leading suppliers of radio control models and accessories to the model trade. Formed in 1949, the Company has always been at the forefront of radio control and specialises in every aspect of the hobby - from aircraft and helicopters to quads, boats, cars and more.

Ripmax operates from its Enfield Headquarters where it has two large warehouses and its administration offices. From this central location, Ripmax also hosts its own websites and handles all of its own promotional activities with a team of in-house designers and large photographic studio.

With a range of some 10,000+ items, Ripmax is the sole UK distributor of O.S. Engines, world-leading Futaba radio control, Hirobo helicopters, Black Horse, ST Model aircraft and many more of the modeller's favourite brands. Ripmax also works with leading model aircraft manufacturer Chris Foss and has developed a complete range of Almost Ready to Fly versions of his most popular designs. With recent additions to the Ripmax range including UDI and DHK, the Company continues to design and launch new models under its own brand name.

The latest development in Ripmax's history was the acquisition of Amerang in July 2013. This has enabled the Company to move into new areas of the market including plastic kits, die cast plus licensed film, TV and comic collectables.
