If you live in the US (or North America im general) you are lucky!

Team STRC has nice aluminum upgrades for the 1/10 scale Arrma's.
But there is no supplier of it in Europe.

Arrma announced red anodised aluminum upgrade parts (including beautiful big bore shocks front and aft) back in 2013...but they never came to the market

Tower Hobbies ship to Europe. I only paid approx $6 for shipment plus tax for quite a few parts.

I am curious about the tax.
Last time I ordered something from Towerhobbies...ouch

tax for Netherlands is 21%, so quite a lot. I'm investigating if I can't ship to our US office and have them ship it to our NL office as internal shipment. That would save a lot ;-) I'll keep you informed if this is possible or not.

You pay even more than 21%, because it is import tax from the US.
In the US the VAT is only 6%, so that is why it is cheaper.

If you are a company, and order as a company, things are different.
But you have to order as a company, not as a consumer!

You are correct. It's 4.7% import duty. Next the vat is calculated over the value of the product, so 21% over the whole: invoice + transport + import duty.

So I'm defenitely checking if I can get delivery through our company office in Atlanta.

Shipment from TowerHobbies finally came in. Had to pay approx 30% in taxes/fees/etc, so this was my first and last direct shipment. Next shipment I'll process through a friend of mine in the US who will send the package with other equipment from his office to my office... ;-)

Thank you so much for this thread. I see there's not much for hop up parts available for ARRMA. I just purchased a Granite BLX. Love the truck and it's speed but after 2 runs I managed to break the steering linkage. It's not the trucks fault though I was bashing it pretty good at a skate park. I just ordered the Hot Racing Aluminum upgrade to cure my issue. Over all the fit and finish of this truck is great.

Hi

The one hop-up that needs to be made are CVD/CVA's.
