They have some great deals on for the US but nothing for the UK.

The vendettas are under 200 dollars over there but full price over here.

The lost mx is about £200 more expensive in the uk as well.

They are d1cks to the UK, what's up with that?

All model shops in the UK have no say when it comes down to the price set by the manufacturer. yes, it sucks most of the time it's cheaper to import from the USA & pay the import duty than buy in my home country. go figure

XLX2 is cheaper to import. 1717 cheaper to import. TP power motors or anything Hot Racing are all cheaper to import. yes, I can get them from Alli Express or Bangood but you don't know if its a clone takes weeks to arrive & returns are a PITA.

For what it's worth, https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1101939003? is a legit TP dealer. They got me my custom sensored motor in under 3 weeks. Most of that was them making the motor. It took 3 days to ship to me with DHL express. I heard from china to you guys is even better than us.

Horizon is the manufacturer, but each country has its own distributor who sets the price in that country. That’s how retail works.

For instance, Logic RC is the distributor for Horizon products in the UK.

Australia has its own distributor, etc.

Eurorc.com sometimes has blowouts on European brands because they can get pricing on some cars (HPI, etc) that US distributors (HRP) can’t get. “Rc5” gets you 5% off btw….

Yes as you might know the Losi Pro Moto was a joke of a price on the release date overhear after some pushback by the EU / UK guy the price was dropped but still not the deal you guys get.

Have had some items arrive in 10 days with standard shipping & some in 6 weeks. My Vipaz tires from West Oz RC got to me in 7 days ordered some HPI wheels from a UK shop 3 weeks ago still not hear. but the guy is cool his order didn't arrive from Denmark & he is doing everything he can to help me out

Used to use Eurorc all the time but due to Brexit shipping to the UK has increased to the point it's too expensive. This is not a Eurorc problem but the shipping companies greed
