Yeah, I know this problem of shipping cost...
I order my spares at rc pro center, the price is very very low, this shipping cost is good BUT, it take at least 2 weeks to come in france... very long... but I can wait
I'll order only hop up at TCmodels, from HK, the cost is lower than at team C america, but the shipping cost is bigger... In fact, it's depend what I take.
It's a shame to have 2 or 3 different shop to order spares/hop up for the same car.
I have an advantage to live in france, the change dollar/euro is very good for me !
