I can sell you them to you but it wouldn't be financially viable for you................you are better off buying direct from TOWER HOBBIES- USA TH

RE: Viper 500 - where from?
Thanks for the info. Reason for the question, and reason I'll probably source from 'across the pond' is the $120 Viper 500 becomes the $265 Viper 500 in the UK. Ouch!

Skycom ....what does it cost to ship one to the UK from Tower??? Even in Canada they are the same price in Canadian $$$ that Tower offers in US$$$$
That UK hobby store must really not want your business!!

Tower were quoting $95 shipping. Trouble is, anything coming in from the States gets hammered for customs duty and vat.
Maybe I should locate the chinese manufacturer

Hi Skycom
I looked into buying a viper last year Ripmax the UK distributor was not interested and the cost of buying from Tower hobbies when postage was added was not viable, for a little bit more you could have a Big Bruce SlingShot. If you are looking for a model to race get in touch with me directly through www.pylonracer.co.uk, we (Paul Harvey) have designed and built our own models and a small batch of kits/artf’s are available at far less than the Viper.
Regards Peter Harvey

Some of my mates back in australia are paying upto $380 , some shop in brisbane is making a killing , I ship them back home for $210 all up. Last one I got off fleabay cost $75 new in box. Just make sure you check all incedences and then double check.
