schumacher is sold by some chosen retail outlets 1 in each state, they purchase directly from schumacher, and pass on those savings to teh racers.

what other pro level kit sells for under 500 bucks?..this is why missions out sell other kits 5 - 1 at metro, because they pass on the savings to the racers,.

YOU WILL NOT GET SCHUMACHER PRODUCTS CHEAPER FROM OVERSEAS!

another example, mission oneway Diff, ($95 retail)

Losi oneway diff for xxxs, $185, with small retailer margin.

associated etc oneways, $150 ish...

I know the cost prices for most of the products, and guess which ones are the most expensive with the smallest margin of profit...the ones from the Major Oz distributors, so in essence I agree with Oasis.

all of the schumacher spares and hopups at metro are on average HALF the cost of the competition pro level equipment.

Metro is a Hobby shop, who stock a range of equipment, one of which is direct from a manufacturer,,,,they are not a distributor!!!..they do not sell on to other hobby shops!

thankyou for your time
I consider this to be a illegal sledge...As it is well overlength and contains paragraphs without profanities!!!
