Hi, I try to support my local shops (not that there are any actually locally, so I use those near Nottingham) but I have no guilt about importing Tamiya stuff as they don't stock that anyway. I bought my Durga's from HK and the most I paid including shipping by EMS was £100 - one racer and one for spares.
If you buy one with a slipper clutch and a set of Tamiya Hop-Up dampers it'll set you back about £140 and it's a nice car - you will get a lot of looks if you go to a club to race it. Some of these looks will be curious (they don't know what a Durga is as its not mainstream), some will be dismissive as Tamiya's reputation for making kiddy kits is long-standing. But these preconceptions are their problems not mine. There may even be jealousy from B44 owners who pay as much for a shock tower as a Durga owner will pay for 2 new chassis tubs (£7 each by the way).
If you ever want a spin with mine, I live in Worksop and am thinking about doing Don Valley at some point now Worksop's indoor rounds have finished.
