|  G'day from Australia - where to make purchases
G'day I'm writing on behalf of my son who is interested in getting started in RC (he's a 4wd fan at 15yo). He's interested in a scorpion RTC and my quick question to you blokes in the USA is are you aware of on-line shops/stores that would ship to Australia? Of course - $$ is an issue so best price stores...   I mountain bike ride and the best prices I can get in Australia are usually from the UK... so here goes with RC machines... |

| Some AUS sites
You could also try some of the Australia Online Shops The shipping costs for large items make them reasonable compared to the US sites RC Hobbies sell the RTC version I bought my RTR from Lisa's toy store http://rchobbies.com.au/store/ http://www.lisastoystore.com.au/ Dave |

CKRC often has better prices than TCS. TCS are to expensive for my liking:? The only good thing about TCS is cheap rovers CKRC isn't the greatest in CS department, but they are well worth the cheaper prices. Both stores are total ripoffs in the shipping department. Kieren |

i went thru CKRC to get started, made sure i got as much as i could with funds available from the one shop to make it worth it on shipping costs. CKRC were a bit cheaper than TCS, few $$ here and there made the decision for me...had an after thoght on ordering extras, but the $80 approx for one item ruled that out and made EBAY the next best option.....theres a guy over FORSTER way selling via EBAY who stocks crawler gear, but you pay bit more than going direct to EBAY-usa....

I would like to chime in and say, "CKRC ALL DAY!!!!" TCS is my second choice and only choice for specialty foams though - They work you non-believers  I dare you to try them
