check out
www.towerhobbies.com loads of gear and quick shipping.

BFassassin

and i have never bought of ebay

stephenmarr

Wrong forum but here you go
REVO 4 hours left in auction £299.99

Revo 3.3 from USA £263.33 + $120 shipping :eek:

Plug

Buy off tower. Anything over E100 euro you will get charged in customs but it will still end up being cheaper. Is it the revo 3.3, if so you won,t need a battery charger for the 6 cell battery, theres one included.

BFassassin

they look like good deals but i am very wary of buying from ebay:(
i have never bought anything from them before

Well the seller has 100% positive feedback

I have bough Hundreds of items from Ebay and not had a problem

BFassassin

the one that looks good is the one from america even with its $120 shipping but i would then have to add on customs which makes it crap:(

oh... just read they wil NOT do that

Maybe
However .... When something goes wrong :
Thinks: "What? A model car break - never! Not to me! No way!

Distance from backup - 2000 miles (= the other side of Planet Earth )
The tiniest minor query for advice - international tel call / hours typing emails to and fro.

These factors have a money value which should also be taken into account.

BFassassin

it would be something similar tho if i bought from modelsport it is hardly around the corner:rolleyes: .
thanks for the info guys. getting the 3.3 from america actually sort of works out cheaper than the 2.5 from england

I suppose you are aware that RTR 3.0 offroaders are selling in Dublin for €400?
Postage = zero if you can get there !

BFassassin

yeah i cant get to dublin though so i thought getting them online is much easier but the trouble is where to buy from and what to get:rolleyes:

What is an RTR 3.0 ??

BFassassin

he probably means 3.3

so what would you do vectra. chance buying from US or just get 2.5 of modelsport

coolwings

RTR = ready to run
In other words, radio, receiver and servos included and pre-fitted in the model
3.0 = 3.0cc engine
actually I rounded it down , the engines are 3.5cc to be exact

BFassassin

what make are these models they are not revos or savages i dont think

coolwings

Nope - not a US make - US makes are naturally expensive makes to buy if you are outside the US.
China - to - US - Ireland = a very long supply chain. Three continents involved.

vectra

Well, 3.3 is the way to go ... But.. It is your cash

Me?
Well.. I think I would go for the 3.3 from the States... but.. I would watch out for one from Ebay as well..
£313 RTR Revo 2.5 in the UK

£399 for Revo 3.3 Pre order in the UK


I was tempted to buy one of these before I got the Revo :eek:

coolwings

I'd get 3.5 from Dublin at under 400 EUR and put the other unused 60 to 100 EUR in my pocket to bring home with the model. :-)

BFassassin

thanks guys but i am probably even more confused than before

Have you got a link to one of these ?
Now you have made me curious..

BFassassin

yeah i am curious as well if it was a good model with parts easily available i might be able to get up to dublin:D

g5hn710m4xpdwy

theres somehting that tells me that you will be disapointed in it , but if you get the revo, you wont ;-)

BFassassin

what makes you say that and which one do you think i should go for?:)

coolwings

A new model
Like a Stormracer II but bigger size - bigger engine
3.5cc
Won't be disappointed - I know that
Parts cheaper than many other makes - available in Ireland
Buggy design so it should be much faster than a truck
Possibly lower ground clearance than a truck I guess but not measured. Maybe not.
1:8 size
Green Hobby & Model, hobbyshop in Dublin
www.greenhobbymodel.com
not on their website (you got that from the webmaster ! )
No link
No marketing
No video
New in Ireland.
Out being tested at the moment and looking extremely good so far.
Marketing stuff later.
Well known make (if that is important to you)
Deffo not a Revo, this price won't pay for the Revo style of marketing blitz :-)
Testing will continue tomorrow with plenty abuse being dished out!

BFassassin

could you post some pics or videos of the bash tommorrow it would be greatly appreciated:D

coolwings

Possible - I'm sure.
