Andyking Posted July 19, 2015 Share Posted July 19, 2015 So, six month after selling up I'm back. Not looking to spend as much as I did last time on my wraith so I'm potentially looking RTR? Shock horror. 21st at the end of the month so hopefully going to treat myself Been looking at the RTR scx10, maybe the falken tire one. So whats the difference between the standard rtr vs kits? Is it still the standard plastic with rtr, metal steer&lower links for kit? Also anyone who's planning/thinking on selling at the end of the month give me a message.

Zombi Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 That seems to be the general theme - the kits have upgraded parts in them, and for the sake of not having the ***** electronics that often come with RTR, you may as well get the kit. Plus then you also know it's been built correctly, rather than a botch-job from some exhausted Chinaman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has VP parts become any more available over this side of the pond of will i have to order everything across like I did with my wraith?

Zombi Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Nice. Business as usual on that front I'm afraid, although RCMart do a good range of VP stuff these days, but it's still importing I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.A.Son Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Last week RC Mart shipped my order within a week, which is similar to most of the stuff I order from the ole US of A. Tbh, that's as quick as most domestic deliveries, only a lot cheaper! Edited July 22, 2015 by J.A.Son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 A little birdy told me that a certain UK shop has just cut a deal to become the first and only VP supplier in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombi Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Seen his prices though? I did all the sums using the VP stage 1 kit as an example. He will sell them for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Ahhh right fair enough then... Be interesting if he competes with imports though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombi Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 On the UK Scaler FB page he's already said what prices will be on various items, hence my being able to do the comparison above. Expect to see the items' value in pounds to be the same as dollars, so there's a significant mark-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 That's generally what the prices translate to anyway, give or take 10-30 depending on the value of the item(s) in question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I'm sure though if he outpriced what you can import them for yourself, nobody would buy 'em because aside from a slightly longer wait, it's a no brainer to buy direct, they're the same product and cheaper... Why wouldn't you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombi Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Well yeah, I'd love to throw all my money at this guy, but for that he'll need to drop his prices somewhat. My calcs showed that on the order above I'd save a max of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
