Hmmmmmmm
Again strange.
When i ordered from RCM it arrived within 2 weeks and i live even further away from them.
Wolf takes a bit longer,about 3 weeks but then it is held by customs that is a pain in the ass here.
Some parts from the US where held 6 weeks before i got them.
When you get mad at them and treathen them to come by and ask in person why it takes so long, you get your parts.
With the tracking you can exacly see what happens to your parcel.
It arrives at lets say 06-10-2011 and then is clared in at the same day and you see that is waiting to be processed for departure with the postal in our country and still they take about 6 weeks to get it to your door.
Our customs are a bunch of airheads to say it nicely
It happend just once that i got a parcell within 2 weeks to my door that was higher/worth more then 100 euros and true customs.
Still even with these hassles it is good for us "dutchies" to order overseas as with postal,customs and more like that it is still cheaper

regards Roy

They are about 25% - 30% less than Wolf. However because they're overseas, it takes about a month to arrive. Even still Wolf is not that great either. Eventhough they're within the same state as me, they still take almost a week to arrive from when I order it. In contrast, I ordered XRay parts from Nexus Racing Wed. and got my order on Fri. and they're somewhere in GA, why are they so fast?

As for upgrades, the only ones available are either Wolf or K-Factory (TM same difference) and they're quite pricey. However, if I have a Serpent or XRay or Tamiya, I have a bunch of different aftermarket choices like 3Racing, CSO, Atomic, and etc all at very reasonable prices.

Do I love my E4JS? Yes! Do I hate the parts support? Yes, most definitely!
