Hi All
I'm looking to get a Losi XXX4 G+ and wondered if anyone could give me details of any shops that will export to the UK, as the price over here is double that in the US!
many thanks
jim

Tower hobbies is definetely worth a shot. They shipped my landmax to me. However the shipping was $60.However BEWARE the dreaded tax man. There is a 1 in 25 chance that HM customs will hijack your package and hit you with import taxes. My $460 landmax cost me £80 /$150 in import taxes.

2 issues, 1 tower doesnt carry Losi horizonhobby does and they dont ship overseas (they didnt when ive ordered), and second you can override customs by sendig it as a gift, taht way it change to about 10:1 that they should let it throught without customs or tax ( not sure however, its like this here) so if you have a friend in US that could get it for you and send it to you as a gift, would be easiest

Stormer Hobbies have the XXX4 G+ (https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/seekpart.pl?pn=LOS0015). It seems Ultimate Hobbies only have the XX-4...http://www.ultimatehobbies.com//indx17.html :)

www.stormerhobbies.com This web site sells tons of stuff (IE Team Losi) good news they ship internationaly and are based in the states. All prices on your final order show currency translation, so know currency converter needed.
