p.s MK Racing is £10 cheaper than Modelsport. It's the cheapest place to buy a CAT SX from
Really......I thought we were at £309.95 to be honest :blush:, but then we did only confirm our price 10 days ago, rather than show our hand early like normal and let the other shops try to beat us.

We will be stocking both versions of the car and the full range of spares and speed secret options. Currently we still have kits available to pre-order from the first batch that we have coming in if anyone needs one.

Yes really. So rather than have balls and display your price early you waited to try and jump everyone at the last minute, then shoot down me for saying somewhere else is cheaper?

Well last week you had it at £314.95 as far as I am aware. And now you say your price at £309.95 is the cheapest? Well I stand by my comment that MK is the cheapest place to buy the CAT SX. Because it is.

After spending what felt like a lifetime navigating around your website I managed to find the CAT SX (ignoring the rest of my rant, I'm in a bad mood - I really think your website needs an update), add it to basket and see you charge a nice £6.50 for p&p taking your price to £316.45. After finding the CAT SX on MK Racing homepage instantly, and seeing free next-day delivery it's clear that MK is £1.50 cheaper...

Nice try.

Nice try.

It took less than 20 seconds for me by using the search option.....

Darren Boyle 08-09-2008 03:11 PM

Take a chill pill mate. I have not shot no-one down, just pointed out that we are £5 cheaper, thats all. You talk like I have tried to kidnap your family or somthing, far from it.

Our price of £309.95 has been our price since word go, we only put it up on our website 10 days ago since this was the first chance we had to, no other reason. The same reason we have not yet put up the Kyosho MP9, AE RC8T etc, we just have not got around to it.

We are usually the first shop to show on our price on anything that we sell (and usually the first to get it), it is normally the other shops who "sniper" us to be fair..... history proves it.

I hear your comments about our site (i have to disagree with them) but if you could not find the Cat that easy maybe it is the user at fault. It is in the Preview pages, for forthcoming releases, it is in the Schuamcher kit catologue pages (amongst the 10 or so kits they do, not that many to troll through) AND it is in the full Schumacher section, all three could be found in less than 60 seconds by someone who has never seen our site before. And if you tyoe CAT SX in the search it is there too!!!! We prefer to have the largest website with more stock/choice on it to be fair and it is more up to date than most also.

As far as postage goes, our service is second to NONE, we charge our price for the goods and IF a customer needs it posting then that is a seperate service, for those who pop in to our store they save. IF your chosen store post it for one price, then would you be happy to pay the same if you popped in to collect it, probably not, that is why we charge for delivery, we do extra for it, the customer pays extra and recieves a service of the highest quality (just read the numerous threads on here from tons of happy customers who back this up)

At the end of the day, you stated somthing that was wrong and it was in my interest to correct it since it was us who were cheaper in this case. If you have ordered yours from MK good luck to you, I hope you continue to support your local shop, I am not asking people to cancel orders and come flocking to us, but for those who are looking at one, we were cheaper. We have three pre-sold and 5 spare coming in on the day of release. Of the three that are pre-sold two are collecting them from the shop they day thay come out (since we are collecting ours) They will have them as quick as ANYWHERE can supply them, they will pay £309.95 which IS cheaper than ANYWHERE.

No nice try, just facts, maybe best to take out your self confessed bad mood out elsewhere other than on us.

Darren Boyle 08-09-2008 03:13 PM

Jonesy, you posted as I was typing my "lenghty reply".

But thank you, my point exactly........

Belsten 08-09-2008 04:57 PM

Im happy to pay postage from DMS, their service is awesome :thumbsup:

Darren Boyle 08-09-2008 04:59 PM

Thankyou (your cheque is in the post...... :woot:)

Garry Driffill 08-09-2008 05:33 PM

I can alway's find what i want on the site, Why can't you? - I mean come on i aint even that clever :lol:

GRIFF55 08-09-2008 06:07 PM

Hey Jonsey, you big cat hunting hey!!!:), nice one.

Does the sx need any hop ups or does it come with all the bling at that price?

Southwell 08-09-2008 06:21 PM

I believe it will be the same as previous cat's, plastic bits which you can upgrade to alloy.

ben 08-09-2008 06:31 PM

I dont think there is really anything really except the alloy gearbox tops that you can hopup. Dont quote me on that though :lol:

Hope you guys don't mind me commenting, just to be fair to everyone:

A) DMS are easily the best place I have dealt with for getting spares/letting me know alternatives etc. As long as you have part numbers the website works fine too!

B) Sorry though Darren, I have seen a price in your preview page of £314.95 for ages!!! I know because I was looking at who was cheapest (which you were, I am not sure of MK!?)

But lets all be friends eh!!

Yeh, when i drove grants is just had the oneway roller (or centre one-way if you like) , it ran perfectly, ive ordered a one way but i think the setup above will be just fine and what i will mainly run...

Darren Boyle 08-09-2008 06:55 PM

£314.95 was never our confirmed price and was only ever shown on the PREVIEW of the LIPO version (when we first added it to our site nearly 6 months ago), the 4 + 2 has always been £TBA until about 2 weeks ago when we confirmed it would be £309.95. We decided that it was messy to have them at different prices so both are now confirmed at the £309.95, this has been live since the same time the price was added to the 4 + 2 version (26th September to be exact according to my website data entry log).

But as you say, not looking to upset or poach anyone, just stating a few facts.
