I bought the backdraft 8e (same as aftershock) from RCtoysNH as they were the cheapest including shipping to New Zealand,(did take over a month though) out of the box it looks ok but a decent charger was my first addition, performance was nothing to be ashamed of as it is very quick and powerfull. The problem i have had is it is quite fragile the plastic is very hard and has very little give on my first and only run i broke the rear wing clean off, then broke the steering linkage and rear hub carrier in a small roll over, i have order`d parts from rc-tradingpost.com and found them very cheap but upgrades will cost an arm and a leg,
International orders have been slow due to customs inspections the past few months, especially large boxes, took 2 weeks to clear this one with customs. Normal transit time to NZ is 7-14 days. Parts are not so bad as they ship in small packages and envelopes.
