Country: UK Total Rounds: 14 Best Scores: 8

I know there only for people who are entering the SPC but if they can sell them at that price ?

The fusion 13.5 for example is £40

Why do I get the feeling they can do it all the time not Just HPI but ALL Manufactures . . If the Brca said a Price limit of only £50 I wonder how many would say yea . . . . OK

not a rip off at all gazza

the shop trade prices arent at 30quid and we dont get ripped off after reserch and devlopment costs, shipping, advertising, stock and store and so on. they are a RRP bur that is RECOMENDED to the shops. the trade price is the important price and is what manufactures sell and make a profit on. dont bad mouth the distributers look to your hobby stores for a discount.

As in over all prices Gazza im not havinga go at one shop I mean over all in general . . ..

Like Nicads and Nimhs for you normal house hold stuff there cheap but for model cars they where over priced
( please dont quote matched & Balanced )
And now with LiPos the price is droping every where because they know the price of LiPos we use in planes are cheap like £30 for a good LiPo and its the Same CELLS you use in cars with a Hard plastic case for cars now . . . all tho some are still way over priced

But there getting there now

Now I know you buy from abroad like most racers Gazza. . . kettle pot black rings a bell here
So lets See if us the public think we are paying over the top . . . .

I voted NO because I use my Local Model shop and they always looks after me HENCE I KEEP GOING BACK TO THEM

well done [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

I will always buy abroad were possible for the savings you make yes Model shops have to make a living but not at the exspence of us paying high inflated price top that with vat and you can see why abroad is better
No one forced them into model shops for a living that was there choice but look at the climate now and you can see why people will wait a little longer and make bigger savings thats the name of the game!!!!!! i know one model shop that has empty boxes on the shelf and order from the empty boxes i want it now if im going in a model shop not the next 14 days
so again abroad for me!!!!

i buy from abroad when i cant get it from the Local model shop. That is a good price for the motor cos i know for a fact that shop cost price is 45 quid so that would be the cheepest you would get it from a shop and they would be making nothing on it you cant knock the shops for making 20 quid on a motor

pete

normal mark up is 20% pete not 50% like most shops charge, RC stuff is way to over priced in this country the rest of the world get it much cheaper, but there are some good guys out there who will have a deal with you if you ask nicely.
