Haha. We've just had a set of cams sent over from the states. They landed yesterday.
A fantastic charge from customs for 260 quid(ish) though.
Although, even with $200 shipping on these items, to buy just the alloy heads in this country would have cost more than the heads, cam and nitrous kit shipped from the USA. So it's not just R/C where it's expensive.
