I have been fighting buying one for a long time and I can't do it much longer!
Is there any reason why Modelsport are charging £345 for the kit yet I can get it from Hong Kong through Ebay for £267?
Is it an inferior kit for any reason? I know some markets are different.
Cheers.

It is always cheaper to buy from HK - but you might get hit with a customs charge!

Kits are normally identical, but just check as some come with a free esc (speed controller) or lighting kit etc.

I buy my kits from hk and my parts (electrics, batteries, paints etc) from uk.

look for stellamodels - great seller

If you are after a crawler it's worth comparing the Tamiya CR-01 to the Axial SCX.
