The Tx's were oos , just lying on the cars, no packaging in the box at all to seperate the parts, no foam or bubble wrap, just two cars, two TX's and two starter kits thrown in a thin cardboard box big enough to just sqeeze the cars in side by side with the wheels touching.

It looks like this may not be the norm for Tricounty, looks like I just ordered the buggies at the wrong time. Be nice to get some sort of compensation for the money I spent to get them going. Obviously the DX3 was an upgrade, but the other gear is just replacing broken stuff virtually like for like.

ThevRedcat engine replacement wont work for me either, as I can get the standard 3 port SH28 with pull for around $117 delivered in 4 days. The replacement program will cost me that, unless shipping to Australia is also covered in the 1/2 retail price replacement program.
