im not sure, it loooks nice and shiny but the main bit is what sort of state the screws are in.

i wonder why he is selling it?? surely it would be a massive waste of his time and money to buy it, build it and sell it again? hmm...

looks good from the outside though

£206 with post

MK Racing sells em new for £215, might even do you a deal on postage too

for the sake of a few quid surely you'd be better off with a new one

£200 built? I thought built cars lost money not kept it?
I was looking at the B44 aswell. I've found it for £148.48 + shipping from Obrien Hobbies. http://store.obrienhobbies.com/teas1b44tebu.html Cheapest I can find it anywhere. I also emailed them asking about shipping and was told that it would be sent with a value of $40 to cut the importT. Dunno how UPS Int postage works and if it is 'recorded' so you wouldn't loose out if in the unlikley event it went missing.

With UPS you are almost guaranteed to get nailed by customs. I have every single time they were used.

The £40 things works sometimes but its illegal for them to do and they stand to get a big fine if caught so tread carefully

The B44 UK price really is a steal, there is just no point in grey importing one. By the time shipping and the (very likely) tax and duty and clearance fee is added you will have saved virtually nothing.

Just compare the price of the TC5!!!

Plus you are supporting a UK business and you know you will have help at the end of the phone if you need it.

I'd say about 50-50 for customs charges for me.

I looked at importing one when I wanted to change, but it was going to work out about the same if I got stung for import duty.

I'm really surprised that we got it so cheap in the UK
