      depends what you want. i had some great experience with them till i pre-ordered a Nano dragon 2. massive confusion trying to cancel some of my order and keep the rest. they don’t speak english very well.

      so to sum up i guess if you plan to make an order you don’t want to change they are good :topstuff:

      I’ve bought from TE about 20 times in the last few years. They’re English isn’t great, and they can sometimes take a while to reply to emails – but overall they’re pretty good.

      do you guys remember how long it took for your delivery to come and did you pay via Paypal

      so far I’m felling a bit more confident buying from them…..:approve:

      I’ve dealt with them for personal stuff (a few thousand $$) and for Wholesale (we buy stuff for our online store through their wholesale division). So how do I rate them? Not great, but generally honest and reliable certainly reputable.

      BUT Don’t buy anything “pre-release” as they do tend to have deadlines for delivery come and go. Example iWaver 02 stuff – we were out a lot of cash for a YEAR until they refunded it…..But they did refund it

      If you don’t want to risk it generally we will handle the entire process for you on any product they sell. We order it for you, get it into Australia, then you pay us before we ship it to you. Obviously this is not as cheap as buying direct unless it s a thing we get a great wholesale break on – but we cover all the risks 😉

      hey guys i’d love to get in on a group buy too if thats ok. but i guess whoever does the ordering won’t want it to get out of hand so if its ok let me know.

      I’ve got a fair bit from them too !!!

      It has generally taken 9 day’s for delivery to me (where I live generally takes an extra day then most places) there service to me has been excellent but yeah, I’ve never made a pre-order with them so I cant comment on that !!!

      Another good place is rcmart http://www.rcmart.com.au !! same thing, there email reply and English isn’t the best but I’ve never had any issues with them either…

      But one of the best places I’ve dealt with would have to be here (Aaron, AUSMICRO) some of the prices may be a little higher then some of the other places but like Aaron said he’s taking the risk of the goods actually arriving and the service and delivery times if he has it in stock is second to non !!!

      @diehard – i’m going to order an AWD chassis kit and an FM module

      i was thinking we would divide the total shipping cost up by weight.

      2 X AWD chassis – 2000g
      1 X FM module – 200g
      1 X Firelap F1 body (silver dark) – 150g
      1 X Firelap Enzo body (red) – 150g

      total weight = 2500g

      my weight = 1200g =48%
      your weight = 1300g =52%

      registered air = 30.46USD
      yours = 15.8392USD
      mine = 14.6208USD

      your order = 148.66USD + 5% discount (on AWD only) = 142.06USD
      my order = 151.80USD + 5% discount = 144.21USD

      bringing out total to 286.27USD

      …so, after all that the prices will be

      DIEHARD = 157.8992USD
      KLIMS = 158.8308USD

      if you find anything wrong with the math let me know lol.

      as for the AUD price i won’t know till i place the order.
      still want to go through with it? its only going to be about 7USD more expensive if you placed the order yourself.
      probably cost you more in petrol to do a pick up lol.

      Klims, you still waiting? If so I’d like to add the following:

      TAKARA Q-STEER NISSAN SKYLINE GT-R RACING SET W/CONTROLLERS
      http://www.toyeast.com/v3/pdtdetail.asp?pdt_id=A02104541

      TAKARA Q-STEER INITIAL D RACING SET W/CONTROLLERS
      http://www.toyeast.com/v3/pdtdetail.asp?pdt_id=a02104916

      If you could add them to the order that would be great! I can pay you via all popular methods, including paypal.

      let me know what you want to do.

      cheers,

      so now for the math…

      2 X AWD chassis – 2000g
      1 X FM module – 200g
      1 X Firelap F1 body (silver dark) – 150g
      1 X Firelap Enzo body (red) – 150g
      1 X TAKARA Q-STEER INITIAL D – 400g
      1 X TAKARA Q-STEER NISSAN SKYLINE – 300g

      total weight = 3200g
      total shipping cost = 38.68USD (for registered air)

      diehard = 1300g = 40.625% = 15.71375USD
      ph2t = 700g = 21.875% = 8.46125USD
      klims = 1200g = 37.5% = 14.505USD

      diehard order = 148.66USD + 5% discount (on AWD only) = 142.06USD
      ph2t order = 53.1USD + 5% discount (on Initial D only) = 51.75USD
      klims order = 151.80USD + 5% discount = 144.21USD

      TOTAL = 338.02USD

      TOTAL FOR DIEHARD = 157.77375USD
      TOTAL FOR PH2T = 60.21125USD
      TOTAL FOR KLIMS = 158.715

      …which makes our final total = 376.70USD

      if your happy with the totals drop me a msg or a phone call on ********** to confirm.

      Andrew.
