Just about everyone knows that the states are cheaper than most European countries.
While youre there pick up a few tanks of petrol, a few acres of land etc etc etc.
Ripmax aren't to blame for the prices, I don't sell Futaba but comparing prices and knowing what genuine imports cost with duty and shipping I think they are doing a good job. 250+ millon Americans buying power against 57+ million no contest.
If you don't support the importer then they will one by one disapear and you can all go to America or alike for your bits.

If it goes wrong your stuffed

We could argue this one for ever-either way some people will by abroad and some won't
