I am from Vancouver, Canada.

I would like to ask why it is so expensive (350 pounds) in your area. amainhobbies is selling it for $450 USD from the US. That's 290 pounds.

If your area is really 350 pounds then that's $550 USD.

Also, after looking through the manual, and if you already have a RB5 SP2 or WC. You only need to spend money on parts that are numbered UM700-729 (depending which setup you want, midship or rear motor mount, you can omit some parts) + Body + Wing + Decal + UM561 (Hing pins for RT5/SC-R) to upgrade your RB5 to a RB6. Kyosho just changed the layout of the RB5 and kept all the essentials. Ordering those RB6 parts from RC Champ will cost about $230USD.

So, you don't really have to spend upwards of $550 USD for the brand new kit. But if you want the new box and manual plus all the left over plastics from the kit, by all means buy the brand new kit.
