UK importers CML aren't necessarily the Southern Ireland wholesalers as well (Although, equally they might be for all I know)

CML supply to stockists in the South of Ireland as well.

Oh dear :( .... was worth trying him. Make sure to keep you orders below 250 euro as that's the threshold before you pay duty and VAT.

And if you end up paying these it would be cheaper to buy a car from Mick B.

Was just onto TeamAssociated in the US and they said that they will be shipping the B4.1 Brushless RTR's to hobby shops/distributors in "the next week or so"

Hurry up ffs! :mad:

Eiremaxx 09-03-2010 10:57 AM

I'd say april by the time they make it here,

Grundy 09-03-2010 11:10 AM

i know ye, was hoping to have it by the 20th for the start of the outdoor season though. ah well! :rolleyes:

MiCk B. 09-03-2010 11:16 AM

Give it time.

It will be worth the wait.

MiCk B. :-)

Grundy 09-03-2010 11:27 AM

The 20th may be used as a day to get things organised - probably not much racing done... You've loadsa time

towerhobbies have a few b4.1 brushless rtr's in stock. It would work out at $290 inc delivery (€218) PLUS any additional charges, import tax etc.

i got an email from podiumrc.co.uk (where i've pre-ordered from) and they said that they'll have them early-mid april. They charged €250 inc delivery.

Should i cancel my order with podiumrc and order with towerhobbies, or would the taxes/charges be too much??

edit: just spoke to customs and they said there'd be a 2.7% charge plus 21% vat. that would bring the total to €270 (if ordering from towerhobbies). i willing to pay the extra €20, so should i do it?!?

Eiremaxx 24-03-2010 02:25 PM

B4.1
 
I'm going to hang on for mick to pick me one up,i think it will workout near €300 from the states(may be wrong)but my friend got hit for €70. on an order of $235 from tower hobbies last month,

Grundy 24-03-2010 02:34 PM

that's right, your mate should have been charged €292.


Your Mate:
Cost: €235.00
Charge: € 6.35 (2.7%)
VAT: € 50.68 (21%)
TOTAL: €292.03

B4.1 RTR:
Cost: €218.00
Charge: € 5.89
VAT: € 47.01
TOTAL: €270.90

Watcha think???

Legacy555 24-03-2010 02:34 PM

Hi guys,

PodiumRC are generally ok, but they do list an huge amount of stuff that they don't actually stock. As Mick B is an Associated dealer who is supplied directly fom the UK distributor, the fastest method of getting the car would be through him and I'm sure his price is competitive all things considered.

Grundy 24-03-2010 02:45 PM

so what's peoples final verdict then, should i just cancel my order with podiumrc and wait for mick to get them, or place an order with towerhobbies??

my only reason for possibly ordering from towerhobbies, is that the uk prob won't be sent stock for a few weeks, and therefore podiumrc and mick won't have them for a while!
