Dyna Storm is a special edition with a special price....around $1200-1300!!!

Not sure on the BMS...I think it is a little over $1000....

Just out of interest....do any of you guys actually follow up with buying anyway????

Well, I do follow up with the stuff I asked. but just can't find the online shop from HK that's willing to sell the product to the USA at the same price. The responds was always "we always charge higher price for people in the US".

Brutal, but at least they are honest!.

I don't think so. Have you asked TS of control centre? They are trustworthy.

I asked TS before... I think many people asked TS before. The local price to HK people is always lower to the price that they sell to US customers.

If you can get your stuffs cheaper from TS than from US, you should be happy. Why compare the deal with the local customers? It's not the question of fair or not fair. If you could deal with the manufacturer at the wholesale price, that's your advantage. TS or other people will still be fine.

You admire me of getting cheap RC stuffs? I admire you of being able to live in a big house. We all have different background, like tax, living standard, etc. So don't compare. If you always get upset for not able to get the same price as the local customers, it will hinder your joy of playing RC.

Have fun.

Diva,

Nope, I don't live in a big house. Matter of fact I live in an apartment by myself. FYI I had never lived in a big house. I used to live in Taiwan before I came to the US 5 years ago. Taiwan's living condition and standard is pretty much the same as HK.

Well, I would really like to get the price as the local people but that's pretty much impossible. But still, as long as I can get it cheaper in any HK online seller, i'm still going to go for the cheapest one. Hack, if I can get it from Japan and it's cheaper shipped than from HK, I will get it from Japan. I'm not unhappy about not getting the same price as HK customer.

And sure i do admire you getting cheap RC stuff, well, I admire people who can buy anything cheaper than others. That's why I never buy stuff when they are at their full price. I only buy stuff when they are on sale~ . Just trying to save some money here and there so I can enjoy my hobby without spending too much into my other living essentials.
