$138.31 for shipping...
Tower car is $499.99 and get $60.00 off for orders over $500.00 (you'll have to buy another item over 1cent. to get $60 off..otherwise it's $50.00 off.)
and shipping is $7.99

A spool is listed under the hop-up option for the Cyclone. We have them on order already and should be one of the first to receive Cyclone parts.

Express Mail rates are very similar around the world, and we know from shipping car kits the past two days that international shipping for something the size and weight of a HB Cyclone should be no more than $35USD

Has anyone got a update on the bulkhead problems? Was it just the Japanese and far east kits that had the problems? Are they sorted now?

Hot Bodies sent the bulkheads next-day-air since they were wrong on my car. When I spoke to their representative he said that they had hand checked the majority of the kits that were shipped out and they were all correct. I guess I just have great luck.

Also I wanted to say that the manual is not nearly as helpful as the Pro 4's. There are no setup sheets, parts lists, or explanation of the tuning options the car has. I was really disappointed with it.

so does that mean that HKRCMODEL is robbing people blind here in the states?
That is the exact amount it listed, and there was no other options.
Speedtech and Tower have the best deals so far.

Well I have 2 postage options on RC Model for shipping to the UK, $27.32, or $41.81 for EMS. I think it must be a mistake in the system.
