MJX Bugs 3 Red/Black US $69.65 (~AU $89) Shipped @ GearBest

370
AU113020

THIS DEAL WONT DIE

Ozbargain has taught me well.

I was about to pull the trigger on a Bugs 3, but the price on Gearbest/Banggood was around $115 USD.

A couple of codes online dropped the price a bit…but I felt I could do better.

I got lucky and tried an expired code from September 'BUGSGB' and it dropped the price by $37 USD.
Not sure how long this will last. Might just be an unlimited coupon.

Thought I share with the community, since I've gotten so many good deals lurking here :p

(Looks like an amazing quad by the way!)

Edit (29/12): Code GMAD01 expired, new code AU113020 added.

    Ozbargain has taught me well.

    But you didn't learn to put the price in the title…

      I'll get there…the internet is hard.

  • +8

    Or you could use code GMAD01 and get it for ~AU$89 shipped.

    • +4

      Thanks I just grabbed one for $89. A bargain within someone’s lesser bargain.

    • Hey, you should have posted the deal pal.

      What a hold out!

      Too bad I already paid.

    This is an amazing drone, and if u can score one for under $100 you've scored big!
    Just got one for $86 express delivery! Can't wait! Thanks OP, I suggest updating the coupon.

    GMAD01 Winning!

    GMAD01 for the win!!

    Looks good, particularly because it looks easy to use normal lipo batteries.

    Banggood have it for $79.80usd / $105aud with code e090c2 (if you pick shipping from China rather than au) :

      UM, we past that price now…

    I purchased this as a Christmas present for my son. We are both gaining flight experience daily and really enjoying this so highly recommend.
    I'm interested to know if anyone has got around the long charge times? It's about 3+ hours for a full charge. My son said that other drones he's heard of charge much quicker. Any ideas on a way to achieve this?

    • You need a hobby grade charger. I found a good channel on YouTube, aimed at beginners.

      Check out the 'RCSaylors'.

      Can't wait for this to arrive. I picked up an extra shell for $3 ish.

    • Cheapest way to get a decent hobby charger is probably to get a b6 clone like this. (I haven't checked if this is the best price). You can also get $30 hobby chargers, but you need to get a separate power supply.

  • Thanks OP, great deal. Using paypal cost $89 but still good

  • Thanks just bought one with coupon GMAD01
    Checked out and paid in USD through gearbest with 28degrees card total AUD$86.68 :)

  • Looks expired? anyone else getting this?
    Great price.

    • Yes. Got 1, told somebody else about it and when they tried it said expired.

      • Yeah, just tested it and it's toast.

        My original BUGSGB is still $37 off $115 USD.

    • +1

      new code AU113020 worked fine if you still want one

      • Thanks. I wouldn’t have checked back until tomorrow!!

  • +1

    Expired :(

    Oh well saved me $89. I need to stop impulse buying. Or attempting to

    Can still use OP's original code of 'BUGSGB' which will bring it to $102 AUD and with express shipping $103.69 AUD.

    • +1

      Lol. Now BUGSGB is expired.

      Sorry team!

      Top Gearbest coupon on Couponese and it's this deal linked haha. I think I did well for my first post :)

      • You did do well! Impulse buy for me given all the 'this is incredible' type posts. Im a heli person, though got a nice deal recently on the Visuo drone and it was first time ever flying a drone and used it to check my gutters. Lotta fun, saw your post (and Rogerwilcos extra code) figured it's a dirt cheap way to upgrade n took it! Thanks guys

        • What did you think of it? I've already crashed mine into a tree to test it's durability :p

          The thing has some oomph for sure!

        • @Ravenousryan: havent unboxed yet lol

  • +2

    102.45 delivered using BUGSGB code confirmed working still

  • Be prepared that Gearbest take well over a month to post items, bought a drone back on Nov 30th and i still don't have it.

    • Yeah. Still waiting on my furibee f36 from Gearbest I ordered on the 28th of Nov.

      To be honest, it's stuck in Sydney somewhere. So that's our fault, not China :p

      I purchased an Eachine e708 'babybugs' on Banggood, after the f36. It arrived 9 days ago.

      Who knows.

  • +1

    I've got one of these - they're a beast, but not for young kiddies…

  • This looks decent. Too bad coupon code are no longer works

    • Try code AU113020

      • Thanks champ. Bring the price down to $66.93 usd shipped.

  • Worked for me, BUGSGB

    • I still can't buy it. Keep saying "this code does not exist"

      • Try code AU113020.

        • Gearbest are rubbish, you will only be disappointed with their delivery times and communication. I am still waiting for my drone from Nov 30th and no parcel yet. All they do is make jokes about Santa being busy and basically lie, i do hope i get my money back via PayPal after i raised a claim. BE CAREFUL OR WAIT FOREVER FOR A PARCEL.

        • @robcarlo72: Don't panic! Around 4-5 weeks is pretty standard.

        • @robcarlo72:

          If you are not paying for express/expedited shipping, waiting 4-6 weeks for any parcel to arrive from China is standard. Unfortunately you really ought to add another 1-2 weeks since December is by far the busiest time of the year.

        • Hi rep,

          Any coupon deals at the moment, I am interested in buying one.

  • +1

    Mods please mark deal as not expired, New coupon code AU113020 worked for me, final price $66.92 usd

    Can anyone recommend an affordable camera and some spare battery for this drone please

  • Any deals on batteries around for this? Gearbest seem not to ship them to Australia … even though they ship the drone which includes a battery…

  • Is it better than the MJX B6 Bugs 6 RC Quadcopter for AU$119 delivered (or picked up in Sydney) on eBay?

    • Yes. Look at the reviews online. Bugs 3 is being called a must have/instant classic.

      Hold out for a bugs 8 pro if you like the bugs 6. Its a Bugs 6 with more grunt, nicer design etc.

      Bugs 6/8 will be harder to fly than a Bugs 3.

  • Website is insisting i pay at least an extra AUD 13.85 for shipping (Checkout option). Looks like can avoid this if go PayPal direct. Dunno, didn't buy one.

  • damn, I saw this deal was expired yesterday, I bought the xiaomi 4K drone instead…

  • +1

    Mine shipped out today apparently, let’s see how long we take.

    • "Apparently". I sense your confidence.

  • Geeze I really like these bugs 3 😛

    • Sweet Jesus, get a grip man!
      Isn't there something else you should be doing with your life, like your tax? I'm 5 years behind…

      • Hmm now that’s a thought. If I fill my tax return with more lies than usual I could buy a whole bunch of bugs 3’s.

  • Hmm, do i go with this or wait for bugs 2 deal with gps and altitude hold.

    • Go with this - riding bareback is always more fun. Hang on, that doesn't sound right…

    • Just got one of ebay with 2nd battery about $194 with 10% off code. A couple of sellers have them for around $187.

  • None of the codes posted work for me on Gearbest. Am I missing a trick? Please can someone help because I want to order for my son's birthday? Thanks.

    • +1

      Think the coupons just expired. Will hope for another one.

    • +1

      There has been many codes that expire on 31/12/2017. I suspect the codes on this thread might have an expiry date of 31/12/2017

  • Anyone who owns one of these care to share there experiences with operating this?
    I've had many turns with my sons bug3 since Christmas and have slowly improved. My biggest issue however is turning. As this is done using the same stick as the throttle, I often end up shooting off in a random direction, accelerating and losing direction. Overall though, it's lots of fun to fly. I highly recommend anyone new to order replacement blades as you'll definately need more quick.
    Also, if anyone on the Gold Coast or surrounding area who missed out on this still wants to buy one send me a message. I purchased one of these impulsively and have changed my mind.

    • What you need is Quadcopter 101 - check out flying lessons & orientation tips.

    • Hey mate. I'm on the Gold Coast. How much would you want for the Bugs?

  • Just received my order today wooohoo

    • Yay! Now you just need a tx03 all in one fpv cam and some goggles ;)

      • Took me 15" trying to turn the motor on. Have to watch a youtube video. Apparenlly you need to hold the throttle stick down and press the red botton at the same time. I thought my bug was a faulty unit.
        My first flight lession today, manage to crash a few times and bend the propellar guard and 2 blades are bent as well. But a hell lots of fun trying to control it.
        I won't get a camera just yet as i need to learn how to co trol it first as this is my first drone. :)

        • Had a delivery notification yesterday so expecting it tomorrow. Extraordinarily fast delivery times for gearbest,

        • /5506870/redir):

          My Bugs 3 was waiting for me today.

          Had to lol at the postie sticking my recently fixed Nexus 5x with 3 20c pig keychains :D

          Just another junk package :p

        • yeah - instructions are crap on this - ended up watching a video also

        • @pitufon: they’re actually incorrect with regard to unlocking, advice given above I correct though
