Whatever it is, you really need to get over yourself because each time you insult people, you confirm some, if not all of what i've just decribed of you.
And you have the hide to critisize LHS's for "profiteering"??
Werent you warned for selling imported goods for profit in the "For Sale" forum?
You would have to be the biggest tool on this forum!

You fools don't bother me one bit....... Youre only annoyed because you have a connection with the local Hobby scene and you are losing money big time to people buying overseas...
PT the only time you post about anything is to have a go at me.... You only use that ID when you want to hide....Hahahaha
Hahahahaha
Say what you like I don't care Hahahahaha

And I can still sell anything for 30% less than any local hobby store, Thats why people keep asking me to get stuff for them
And No I was NEVER WARNED for selling imported goods for profit in the For Sale Forum by anyone except you and that means nothing to me...

hmmm...
well while im at it let me give a quick plug for:
-www.southerncrosshobbies.com.au
-www.racerspit.com
both in oz. fair enough. look, honestly unless you order a crapheap from OS and bring in parts/hopups/kit etc all in one go sometimes it pays to just buy as you need.
i don't see the point in purchasing $250 worth of spare parts for my evo3 or mugen before it breaks. i can get the mugen stuff of barry and the tamiya parts from werever.

hehe, i notice the controversy thats going on, but the main point here is that buying o/s is alot better than local , can we all agree on that ? ? no joke you cant tell me it isnt. Here is a list of all the links people have posted to help the people that want to see where they can get stuff!
http://www.hobbymania.com.hk - cheap electric stuff no gas parts though
http://www.speedtechrc.com - all sorts of parts for gas and elec, shipping seems to be really steap so i would reccomend getting lots of stuff if you choose speedtech
http://shopping.rcmodel.com.hk - Great service, but i would reccomend that u use this as a catalog then order from Lam at harmony model
http://www.towerhobbies.com - best online r/c store i have seen by the way of design but they dont have any mugen mtx 3 parts
[email protected] - you have to email these dudes but its worth it, they have great service and the best prices by far, they will give u a dummy invoice so customs dont bust u aswell
http://controlcentre.rctech.net/ - never dealt with them!
http://www.cityhobby.com/c_home.htm - never dealt with them!
http://www.rcmart.com/ - never dealt with them!
www.sheldonshobbies.com - never dealt with them!
www.stormerhobbies.com - never dealt with them!

Here is one i use often, its not a website, but he is very reliable.
[email protected]
shop name is Niki's Hobby. Give him and email and compare the price, you will be suprised. He deals in Hong Kong dollars not US dollars, ive compared the price to other stores ie: Harmony, Tower, speedtech etc and he's the cheapest yet.
Ive refered many people to him and those that used him were happy with the service.
EMS post from him gets here in 3-4 days.
Just let Niki know that you were refered by David from Sydney.

I just received an air mail package from Tower in a week and a half. Air mail is the way to go.
I've had problems with EMS, I suppose it is just that you can see Australia Posts stuff ups as they happen. I've used it twice and had to chase the package both times.

I order the majority of parts from tower, i set my own cutoff for ordering - if i order by wednesday night, the package would have shipped from the states by friday, and i would receive it by tuesday which i get at work then fit on the stop and use that night (penrith).
ive had 2 late deliveries out of the 20+ orders ive done but they arrived with in the next week or 2.
