Direct Pricing
I just checked again today and if you select direct dealer then you will get no tax and no shipping charge on the screen. So the car would only be 298 pounds or 455 dollars. This is much better but still makes me wonder if the dealer price is 455 then what will it be at the hobby shops. I know it was going for 479 at most places the exception being stormer. So I guess there is hope that we will still be able to get it at a reasonable price.
Unfortunately I have gone to the Photon for this season. I was really looking forward to getting a Mi4 and I may still get one for asphalt . But the LHS in my town couldn't get one with all this going down. I am not convinced that the top car will be as good as the Mi4 but it seems to be doing well in most competitions and the guys that are running things here in the US are very helpful.
