    American Prices of Nitro models!!!

    After looking about on the web I can't help but notice that the prices being charged in the UK for RC-Models are extortionate compared to the US and elswhere. In most cases it sems we pay the same in Pounds as they pay in dollars.

    So does this mean that if you get one delivered from the US, even with import duty, it could be a lot cheaper than buying in the UK??

    Anyone done this?

    Thanks

    yep, its cos they normally get shipped in thousands across the pacific from china/japan/taiwan as well as the yanks keener priceing policies that they are cheaper there.

    It does work the other way too though, check the prices of something like a Marder in the American shops!!! you can buy em in from germany for about half the price the yanks got em for!

    I've been looking at the Hyper 7 PBS. I can find it here for everything from £359 to £460

    the best price in the UK came from Models in Motion

    You can get the same kit from OFNA who are the importers in the US for about $390.

    Any other European kits like the marder??
