yeah thanks for that john,ill post a new one back as soon as HM customs release it,yeah i see a john miller look like some were in there,i could do with a run through on the ripple effect john??i never get the last bit right.

[jonmiller]

damn customs....

[Gibsy]

4 more i have done recently


Very nice :wub

[DCM]

damn customs....

they have hit me on everything I have had come in, from outside the UK, in the past two months....

[migsy]

hi steve. have you tried to get parts in marked up as gift? worksfor me a treat. ;):o:p:lol:

[DCM]

if you ask them, and you get caught, thats freud, if you don't ask, you can't be done, most places mark it up $50, but apparently, with the high volume of stuff from HK/Asia, they are pulling a higher percentage at customs now :(

[millzy]

14 quid is the limit for a gift in customs

i rang and asked when my tekin gear got stoped

[DCM]

if it is marked as a 'gift' and is over the rateable value, then you pay a different amount of taxes on it, as the postage isn't taken into account, when it is a commercial item, you pay duty on the value + shipping, then VAT on the value+shipping+duty

[bigred5765]

if you get them to list it as scale model car or parts it isnt taxable,and thats was from someone that dealt with customs all day,

[millzy]

all i know is it was guttting but i wasnt letting my top line tekin gear sitting there to get lost lol

[DCM]

if you get them to list it as scale model car or parts it isnt taxable,and thats was from someone that dealt with customs all day,

thats how my stuff comes in, from HK, Model car parts, and they still get hit now.

[bigred5765]

must be listed as scale model car/parts, if they hit you with charges just remind them its a non taxable item and get them to check,
ps as soon as i get the divley ill return post it to you cheers again

[Brat]

Super job! I really admire all the shells with 'Wow'!!!!:drool:

Here ya go carl...a vid I mafde of the buggy with the shell...And BTW...There can only be one Tony the Tiger. LOL. Dont worry Ill be the predator here in the states and you guys hold it down in the UK. There is supposed to be music, but video is sitll being processed by Youtube so it may not be fully functional untill a bit later. Cheers.

[TonyV2382]

LOL...Thos weirdos at youtube pulled the song I added to the video...I guess I have to add new audio soon.

[bigred5765]

awesome vid mate loving the wiring job very neat,:thumbsup: car looks the bomb:drool: thanks for the mention in the vid:D

[pugboy]

LOL...Thos weirdos at youtube pulled the song I added to the video...I guess I have to add new audio soon.

Despite my resentment at somebody else copying my 'suit', as it's on the other side of the pond I doubt we'll ever be on the same track! You've done a really good job of that Carl... just one minor point on that video, the closing line should say 'Losi XX4' rather than 'Tamiya 501X' :thumbsup:

[TonyV2382]

Heres the updated vid link. sorry guys youtube blows http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iZzVxIE5Wk

LOSI! AHHAH Never :thumbdown:...although I do like that car very much and may add it to my arsenal one day. I was leading the pack with this car the other day by like 2 laps. It really is amazing. I must say though of all the cars Ive driven the Losi cars are very good, but a bit fragile. Its the only other brand I would buy besides Tamiya and Xray. Ive do own a xxx-cr. That thing really takes punishment and has never ever broken once on me, very consistent and well made. Besides the fact of it having 0 steering lol.

[TonyV2382]

awesome vid mate loving the wiring job very neat,:thumbsup: car looks the bomb:drool: thanks for the mention in the vid:D

Anytime Carl! I added a link at the bottom so people can contact you if they need to do so. Hopefully its just me and pugboy who will order that paint scheme though because it is our trademark! :)

Thanks for the compliments, Took me forever to get that thing wired right, very tricky routing the wires through the belts and yes, it is DA BOMB DIGGITY!:thumbsup: LoL.
