Nah, they are going to say that it is not a US based company, and if you add the shipping, etc. it will be just about the same, and all that stuff..

Best deal?! If you have friends / family who travel to Asia all the time.. ask them to bring some back!

...The motor is the AON ELECTRIC 5800L...You will love it...It makes the ground rattle as the car passes by

...INVERTED...I have to keep it a LITTLE stock until a certain TAMIYA race at the end of April...After that I think I will put some Proline rims and tires on it...Switch the stock units to the Mini Inferno ST...


so is the AON 540 size or what?

Right, but I mean, if you buy it locally there at Hong Kong, it will be cheap, that was my point...

If Mayhem actually purchases one, I hope he provides all of us with actual photos of it in a running RC.
