I can see you getting hit pretty bad on customs, if you do it works out only a bit more than buying in the UK in the first place!

[ashleyb4]

well i paid 21 pound on my KO tranny from hong kong and i bought that for 180 currently my order is at 150 so i dont think it will be more than my tranny. And even if its 40 pound sit will still be cheaper than the UK as for 150 ive got quiet a few exstra's in there to such as my t-shirt and soem xx4 bits.

ive been running a cr all summer and only broke 1 shock tower. they are very durable.
the only down side to a losi would be set-up. i just couldnt get the car to drive how i wanted it to.

You got lucky then. Parts from Asia are for some reason alot less likely to get hit by customs, ive ordered from asia 4 times and even though the orders were ony £30 maximum, I never got hit. In the 2 parcels Ive got from the states, both were hit by customs and parcelforce. First was £50 and got hit for £17 customs/parcelforce and the second was £70 and got hit for £35 customs/parcelforce so I dont know how you only got £21 on your KO tranny, very odd

Opening discussing the in's and out's of possible Customs TAX dodging, probably isn't the best thing to be doing.

Support your LHS!!!!!

[Southwell]

Yes of corse thats an excuse....England is a lot closer than the states....

[ashleyb4]

A

[LEGEND]

25 pounds a week, i only get 15 quid and a fiver every other week. so consider yourself lucky.

[losixxx]

£25 a week is more pocket money the wife gives me each week

Im sorry but I dont know what your getting at, I said that US stuff is also alot more susceptable to customs so im discouraging it!

[ashleyb4]

Ok back on topic please. A few things???

What spur comes with the CR stock which is best for running brushed motors???

Also what gearing for a orion V2 12x2 and 19x1 motor and what the hell im bound to run it once a Peak v2 10x1

[Slimboyfat]

Ash, I brought my XXX-cr from the states (just the kit). It worked out about £5 cheaper than if i had brought it from the UK plus it'll probably take about 2 weeks to get to you.....after shipping, customs, parcel delivery.

I would rather have paid the extra £5 and got it sooner in hindsite.

[ashleyb4]

kit comes with a 78spur. At Oswestry Regional I used a 19t Checkpoint on 26/78 and qual B-2 car was plenty quick enough.

[Kopite]

depending on whether you run brushless, you might wanna get an 84t spur (purple), cos you'll struggle to get it geared right with such a small spur
