Thought it would.

 

Didn't really want to pay more than £75 inc P&P anyway.

 

 

no reason why u should mate when using ups.

bought many a stuff from USA and never had to pay any duty.

Just bought an hpi k4.6 from there mate. i'm sure that will get here ok

 

Trust me mate, I did!

It's a bit of hit and miss whether the stuff gets through or not.

 

not doubting your word mate just not heard of it before.

u got me worried now

 

What really annoyed me was having to pay the £30 admin fee to Royal mail for sending me a letter notifying me I was being charged VAT and import duty

 

ahhhh, was it sent royal mail then? as i'm a little confused

if its UPS then royal mail would't get involved....would they?

 

Doesn't matter who the carrier is mate.

All in coming goods have to go through UK customs.

 

 

another one here foz, altho just over price...
eBay.co.uk: NEW TRAXXAS TRX T MAXX 3.3 ENGINE REVO (item 300119434531 end time 18-Jun-07 21:30:00 BST)

 

Already been watching that one.

No carb or flywheel on that one, although I would still have that from mine.

I'm still hoping Traxxas come through.

 

Ive bought loads from the US. Ive found its a lucky dip.

You wont be charged duty on anything less than £30.

Anything over that is a lottery on duty charges

 

It's USPS (US Postal service) rather than UPS (United Parcel Service)

USPS is just the US version of Royal mail and are only responsible for getting the item to the UK. Royal Mail then take over and deliver it to you here.

Like Frayz said, it's lucky dip and also depends how the sender fills out the customs declaration

 

 

I've got a plan -

Take one Thunder Tiger SSK truck with a blown engine, add an engine from a Savage 3.5 and see what happens.

Any bets on how long it's going to last?

 

hmmmmmmmm

not long, but would like to see it run lol

 

Just had a phone call from Heaths via John1uk......Traxxas have inspected the engine and are sending a brand new replacement free of charge!

 

Nice one guv

 

So they should

 

Is anyone allowed to post a coment regarding this without you biting their head off....

 

Great news that mate

Just need to get it run in again

Now no more " Leaning it in " Trying to stay with the Jatos

Cant wait to see it on " Circuit Bradders " Hopefully we can get out this weekend sometime ?

 

Hopefulluy should have my gearbox parts tomorrow.

Im deffo up for some circuit action this weekend providing its back together.

Just finished cleaning the gearbox cases out.. ive never seen so many plastic shards lol.

Also modded my brake cantilever with bearing races now.. now theres not a single bush on the entire car

 

Tell me about it! Oh joy!



Doubt I will be about this weekend. Got the wedding to go to Saturday and then Fathers day Sunday.

Maybe one evening next week.

 

Glad you got it sorted Fozzie!!!

Haven't been on here for a while due to courses at work.

Still having problems getting on the net, could somebody text me if there is an R/C meet going on at anytime???

Had a fantastic time at Bradwell and really wanna do it again!
I wanna bring my little gay electric car out again and kick Tiny's bottom

Thanking you in advance

 

Cheers!

Will let you know dude! I think a few are going on Sunday (17th) again, but I won't be there as it's fathers day.

Only bringing the electric one?....nothing else?

 

What else would he bring then??? his scoob wouldn't be quick enough either....

 

Very funny Step-Hen

The Scoob is definately too slow at the moment, the battery is totally dead.........which wouldn't be a problem except for one thing........it's parked in the garage and the brakes have seized so I can't push it out to get the bonnet open

BU66ER IT!!!

Think it's time for the trolly jack reverse shuffle

 

School boy error dude!

That's why I reverse my car into the garage so I have access to the front of the car and the battery!
