the cheapest you will get without it being a scap bit of metal that breaks before you use it off ebay would be this: http://www.dms-racing.com/fruzat/qax...ufacturer=Losi

or you could just get a 9t ezrun combo of ebay for £55 which is faster and also very reliable.

Its not sensored so not potentially as smooth as a sensored system, but really it is not noticable. I run these alongside Orion / Speed passion systems and they are great.

my friend haas got one of them and he didnt pay tax on
was that just a fluke or dont you have to pay on them?

Import tax would be due on an item of that value, however customs do not stop every package, so not everyone will be charged.

They will stop every package!

It's to do with the value declared on the customs form. All goods with a value higher than £18 gets slammed with VAT charges and an £8 or £13.50 service charge depending on the type of mail used. Goods that are marked as a gift are hit with charges if the value is greater than £36.

As it's probably from the far East/Hong Kong, they will usually mark the item up as a gift and worth something like $2, to avoid import duty.
