Ahem, 154 plus VAT vs. 159 inc VAT, makes the prices completely different and Robochallenge/Technobots the better options no?
when i phoned them it was £155 all in
but just saying the product is the best where ever u get 1
usa is £100
+ postage

Just checking that the maths side of my brain hadnt fed up
If its £155 all in all thats good - but if that is the case it may be worth mentioning on the website as £180 may put people off. RoboChallenge sell them at £159.99 including VAT. To be honest, i dont think a few pound either way matters when these things are selling like hot-cakes!
Watch out for taxes on the ones from America, British Customs will want there cut.
I have recently bought a DX6 system plus 2 extra BR6000 receivers from robot market place in the US.
http://www.robotcombat.com/marketplace_rc_radioDX6.htmlhttp://www.robotcombat.com/marketplace_rc_radioDX6.html
Items were $309.97 or £158.76
Delivery was $36.60 or £18.75
Duty was approx £25 cant remember exactly.
Hope this is of some help
Even with import taxes, it was still cheaper to buy the sets from robotmarketplace then from the UK. The only thing is i need to replace the charger. Fortunatly i can use my schulze charger for this.
I ordered mine from the states and was presented with a bill for £50: £9 import duty, £9 UK delivery and £32 VAT.
I was also told that if it wasnt paid within 7 days it would be returned to sender. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
On the plus side the DX6 is the dogs B*******.
