    Little pricier than through ebay and its Global shipping program.

     

    Total was 600$ the truck shipped to MyUS.com, 124$ for DHL Express 1-4 days, 12$ for optional insurance.

    Import and VAT 170€. So total was 854€ to my door. But I will get 155€ VAT back, which I could not If I ordered

    thorugh ebay as Global Shipping Program does not allow company to Deduct VAT as it's ment for personal use.

     

    That's the price you have to pay if you want to have it first and soon.

     

    Videos and pictures will take time, as it's currently dissasembled for obvious reasons :)

    I really like how it's built, as it's easy to work on it because lot's of space and wide distance between TVP's.

    What I don't like is how front radio tray is built as if they switched the front and rear dogbone there would

    be 47mm more space at the back for the batteries.

     

    Dissasembling is over. Next step is reassembly in a day or two.

     

    Overall it looks very decent truck, just hope the price will be in reasonable range here in Europe.

    Some EU distributors are allready known. Robitronic for Germany/Austria and MHD for France.

    MHD shows the price already. 899€, That's 50€ more what X-Maxx costs here in Slovenia :)

    Honestly, that's stupid money and a massive ripoff. The X-Maxx already is, with their "change $ to euro 1-1", but changing to euro 1-1 and then for good measure 25% more expensive, they can keep their stuff.

    Exactly. It was never cheaper to do self imports, but in this case it seems so. Will see how the German dealer will set the price tag.

    Xmaxx is in Slovenia 854€ - 712 GBP

     

    Reeper = 650$ to 650€ +38% for good measure comes to 897€

    It used to be worth importing stuff, at least to the UK.

    I used to import RC4WD kits for myself, I saved roughly £120-130 on each kit, which is very good for something that £450 in the UK.

    I got them at about £320-330, depending on the exchange rate.

    Now the exchange rate is up for us, it's hardly worth it to save £30 :(

    So, has anybody else made selfimport?

    France dealer changed ETA to May 2017.

    Robitronic Germany has put the REEPER on their website yesterday. With all the spare parts.

    Not ready for order yet, but price tag is 759€, that sounds reasonable, as French dealer who first relased the EU price,

    had a price tag of 899,95€ :)

    That's around £657 which isn't bad  but still no UK support and us leaving the eu it could get costly owning one ..

     

    What with Losi  releasing the dbxl e and  with the Traxxas x maxx V2 which is a huge improvement and both carry support here I think this might just fade away unless some here picks it up 

     

    I still can't get passed it's just a stretched out 1/8th like the savage myself, in saying that if it did ever get backed here I wouldn't mind giving one a go

    Will get to that and more, once I'm able to place the order for it. Lot is in plan for this truck :)

    I'm still mad that HRP canceled all the international order, without even sending any email or replying.

     

    You're the alza guy?
