You get to the good part, (pics/price) and then...nothing? :wtf:
Is this a drop-dead thread, now?

Yeah, he teased all his girlfriends when we was younger, too!! :D :D

Is this one case where no news is not good news? Just a thought... ;)

hmm maybe he is just a big tease im sure it will be all clear soon

or maybe not....

As much as a new PT is a good thing, most people just want to know, how much.... not much to ask.

Here they are!

I'd guess in the UK, they'd be about £60 ish...

Secrets out on My Laps site...

All you need to know is there...

lol 60 euros postage..from mars??

what on this earth is going on with the postage its boxed in gold right? and delivered by a man on horse back

they must be smoking something over there..oh wait, its the netherlands :)

i hope its a mistake the ost expensive ups shipping i coul find was £16

Deliverd to you from Mars via Pluto and Saturn!

I like the "more than 60% discount for an upgrade" on the website. :thumbsup:

I'll be pinging Rob on that tomorrow morning... ;)

Would'nt suprise me if it was'nt:thumbdown:

(Im wonder how much the second hand value of the old type will be effected!)

thats insane i will go to holland and pick it up myself its got to be cheeper

Hmmm...

That is a hideously disgusting delivery charge for such a small and lightweight item.

€60.69 P&P?

:thumbdown:




Julius.

I would, but my passport has expired, and to renew will be..... £75:confused: Now thats a rip off!!!!

looks like 75 uro normally, and no option of a clone!!

I've just checked how much it costs to send a package from the MyLaps address to my home address by UPS, and it quotes £40.22. It does cost more than I thought it would, but that is £20 less than the MyLaps charge

oops:cry:

Im close to swearing here, are they takin the ***king p**s!!!!

Everyone should burn the amb pts and get mrt ones. If we boycott them and they lose their strangle hold it can only be a good thing surely!!!!.

regardless of how much they cost when new their value is what people are willing to pay for them. just like the house your parents bought 30 years ago for £18k is now worth £100k. No one moans about that.

At the end of the day a PT isn't essential. It's a luxury. A connivence thing. Sure it's annoying the price keeps going up. Personally I paid £62 for mine and I don't regret the purchase 1 bit. It's probably the best thing I've ever bought RC wise.

If you don't like the price use handouts. Or buy one and think what a godsend it is. :)

just my 2p

wrong.... Some brca classes you HAVE to run a pt, it is compulsary.

I wasn't aware of that sorry. I've only returned to racing for less than a year so only done a few different club's nights and the winter MAM which all had handouts.

still my bit about the price stands

I may have misheard (and please correct me if I am wrong) but I believe all EFRA events in 2010 will see PTs mandatory - in other words, there won't be any handouts available!

Looks like they have adopted the clone principle....
from My-Laps,

"Car ID: the Car ID allows you to use multiple transponders that share the same unique Transponder ID, but are tagged with different Car IDs. More information will follow soon"

"It will be your parent transponder and it comes with Car ID 0 (zero), the default Car ID. You can add child transponders, with Car ID 1, 2, 3, etc. (available soon)
Any MYLAPS RC4 transponder can always be replaced by a new one that inherits the same Transponder ID and Car ID"

BBK site says they will sell them at an introductory special price equivalent to 65Euro - so at the moment thats £65 near enough. Not as cheap as MRT, but a significant drop from the £104 for the current PT model!

Don't forget that if you think PT's are pricy you should see what handouts cost! As a result quite a few clubs insist on PT's because they have no handouts and no money to buy them. Its more a nitro thing currently, but will drift to electric soon enough......

buy them on ebay (AMBrc) for £66 :confused:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMBrc-1302-AMB...item2ea94688cd

could easy be correct.

I think I'll be keeping with my AMB pt from 2004 and the two clones from MRT. The prices quoted now, especially for the postage are unbelievable!

The silly postage price is just from MYlaps international online store...

I'm sure if you buy from BBK (the UK agent) - the postage cost will just be normal first class royal mail!

I've just seen an AMB PT second hand on EBAY bid up to £81 with 2 days to go... OR £65 for the new type brand new???

Based on that you could trade up and to the new style and pocket the change!

Who fancies a multiple buy on the new transponders direct from mylaps? By splitting the postage between a few of us they will be worth it.

What happened to all the rumours of them being substantially cheaper??? Cant see how its any different myself. I understand everyone needs to make a living, but I would love to know how much it actually costs to produce a PT

I'd be up for a group buy. Perhaps if there are a few of us we can get them cheaper than advertised on t'internet by contacting them direct?

If you went for the 6 of them, it works out 65 euro ish delivered to a uk address. So its just moving them onto folks houses. In theory, you could get them for £60 - £65?? after conversion that is

They offer 20% off on 3 or 25% 6 packs. With 25% off and postage split between 6 people they should work out around £60 each.

Ide be up for one on a multi buy.

A

+1! for me!

Thats 4 without trying :) Might be worth getting a few numbers and sending an email to them to see what they can do for more than 6.
