Hi,
about export to US:

Single shipments are expansive, because each parcel has an import fee of minimum 25 U$ and I have to ship with an international forwarding agent.
Another problem are the US restriction and laws, that doesnt make the business easy.

The consumer price of the roller within Europe is 350.00 € (thats including VAT, in Austria 20%), so without VAT its 291.00 €

I dont know the taxes you have to pay in the States.....

Besides: to compare you have to look at the whole car. For the BURI-Racer i calculate:
roller 350.00
motor 68.00 (SkyRC Toro X8)
esc 89.00 (Hobbywing WP-SC8)
battery 75.00 (LiPo 4s 5000mAh 30c)
total: 582.00 again incl. VAT

Thats expansive? If you calculate a Serpent977e you will not end below 1500.00€ !

Is there any dealer interested to import the BURI-Racer to the States? I am still searching. Please PM

Best regards Thomas
