DSX9 extornate uk price

[bigdwalker]

The DSX9 (9303 on 2.4GHz or PCM9x2)has just been released in the uk apparently the delay was due to testing anyway the uk price for tx and rx no recievers is £549 or $1096 the price on RC hover is $729 or £365. I think its disgracefull most manufactures chrarge us roughly the same as the USA slightly more normally but this is ridiculous. I hate to say it but Futaba is looking more attractive.

Not JR, but the importer/distributor, so get mad at MacGregors.

It is all relative. I think you need to talk to the Queen about the taxes she puts on you guys in the UK. The duty and import taxes to get the merchandise into the UK from the manufactuers I would think is fairly high also.

Yeah, the 17.5% (IIRC) VAT hurts also.

So "selling" price of X9303 with 9ch Rx, no servos is $729.99. Just add VAT and you get $857.74

And lots of things in UK are more expensive. I always thought it was wierd that a lunch that would cost $20 in US, costs 20 pounds in UK.

Just wait to see what we'll have to pay for the 12x!!!!!!

I now order all my stuff abroad to keep costs down occasionally customs catch something but I'm still quids in. :banana


Oh and you guys across the water think you have problems with your petrol try paying £1.20 per litre. I will leave you guys to convert it and have the shock of your life :wow2:

I thought $1.30 a liter was outrageous ... hopefully it doesn't come to £1.20 per liter ($2.40). That's when I build a lipo / solar car!
