It's not that Morris don't supply in UK, they don't have a supplier anywhere in Europe ! And nor does any other profile manufacturer except Thunder Tiger. I don't understand why. We pay a premium on everything in the UK so it seems mad their not making the most of the opportunity. Maybe if we had joined the Euro it would be a different story.

Availability is crap too. Kyosho Flip 3D and GP U-Can-Do-3D aren't going to be out here for months because the importers like Ripmax push their own products in preference.

It's not just models. Cheapest Futaba 9C Tx here is £285 ($442). Servo city sell it for $260 ! And no I can't import because to replace the frequency module would cost me £70 ($109) and delivery would cost me $30.

Agggggggghhhhhhhhhhh ! I can hear all you yanks laughing.

Yes I may well emigrate.

Oh yes, Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year to you all.
