silone74 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 They always charge a handling fee if duty needs paying but I am still sure unless the price of the goods is over the limit allowed the postage should not be included? Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake1*2011 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 i was looking into the import duties and i found this was on the hmrc website Royal Mail/Parcelforce handling fees If duty and/or tax is payable, Royal Mail/Parcelforce will pay this to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) on your behalf, and charge a handling fee to cover:operating the postal customs depothandling the package for customs examinationopening, repacking and resealing the package if requiredpaying the charges to HMRC on your behalf Note that if there is no duty and/or tax to pay, you won't be charged a handling fee. buying from outside the EU If you order or send purchased goods other than alcohol, tobacco, perfume and toilet water from a country outside the EU then you: [*]don't have to pay Excise Duty [*]may have to pay Customs Duty on goods with a value that exceeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) I would phone them up to clarify because it states the price of the goods nothing about combined with the postage and it also says "Note that on all goods from outside the EU, Customs Duty is waived if the amount of duty calculated is Edited June 29, 2012 by silone74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake1*2011 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I got 2 questions 1. Do losi make progressive springs for the mini 8ight? 2. Will 1/10 shocks fit on the mini 8ight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOne1974 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I was looking at some springs last night on eBay, think it was on the toyz but I don't think they were losi!!

TheOne1974 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Actually it was in my phone history after all! Look at this on eBay: Losi Mini 8ight Progressive Shock Spring Set 32x14mm by Hot Racing SOFE32MR148 http://bit.ly/NL8Jgv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 You can use the front shocks for front and rear on the m8 from scrt10 http://www.jamminproducts.com/SCRT10option.html Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake1*2011 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I was looking at the springs from thetoyz.cand i looked around and found them cheaper will the scrt10 shocks fit straight on or do i have to modify them? I only ask because i found a thread elsewhere saying they had to modify the shocks to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOne1974 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I'm sure (not definate) that mini-z-awd said in a previous post that the Scrt10 either didn't fit or only went on the rear! Sorry if I've miss quoted you mini-z-awd!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOne1974 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Are they an upgrade or just different colour? Looked at them in the shop and thought they were the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) They are aluminium instead of plastic with bleed hole and the piston has a larger diameter hole in it than the standard shocks at least thats what I understand from the specs,to give a better performance and smoother action. They are an upgrade part. Si Edited June 29, 2012 by silone74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOne1974 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Thanks for confirming that Si, just thought they were the same! Might have to get my wallet out lol, do you think they make that much of a difference?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si Mainamigo runs these and said that they transformed the ride, but he's an indoor racer and Im not sure as to how much difference you would notice if you are just a basher. Real shame that they are green as that matches nothing and clashes with everything on my rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real shame that they are green as that matches nothing and clashes with everything on my rig I"ll look into them as not too sure what i want to use the M8ight for yet, was planning on racing it but it bashes so well lol. My profile pic is my 8ight Te flying on the Herts track that Losi used for the M8ight video, hopefully get up there for the first time with the M8ight next weekend, see how it runs and decide from there!!
