Default I'm sick of getting screwed!!!

OK, why is it when I'm reading all your threads and you guys in the states are on about buying parts I get mad?
Answer?
Cos whatever price you are paying in $ american I am paying in £ sterling!!

Examples - and I promise I'm not making this up.
I just bought a hitec 625mg servo, price £42.00
Aluminium diff housing for ofna pirate monster £40
ofna pirate monster rtr £470
Gallon of 16% nitro £26
Dominator Rims/tyres/inserts £80

Go onto am exchange rate site and see how much that works out at in Dollars. Would you pay that much for parts?

The list could go on. I know that OFNA is an importer, because the importer in the UK is CML distribution and they have ties with OFNA as they import from the same company in Taiwan. So why is it so bloody expensive across this side of the pond?

Sorry to moan, but you say its expensive over there, try running nitro over here!!!
