Hobbyking stocking Tamiya?

Recommended Posts

Just noticed that Hobbyking now stock Tamiya.

My signal is poor so not sure if the prices are good or stock but good to see.

Just checked;

Unimog 425

$205 at HK (£136.14) with free shipping apparently - Does not include ESC

£145 at Fusion, less 5% for TC Members £137.75 with free shipping (£10 discount for ESC removal)

£154 at Modelsport

£145 at Wonderland Models

If you factor in a possible customs hit of 20% (VAT only, not sure about duty) then it's £163 from Hobbyking, plus Parcel Force's £13 clearing fee (if it gets hit for import costs)

CC01 Bronco;

$206.77 HK (£137.24) No ESC

£164 with ESC, at Fusion £155.80 after discount

£179 With ESC - Modelsport

£164 Wonderland

If you factor in a possible customs hit of 20% (VAT only, not sure about duty) then it's £163.36 from Hobbyking, plus Parcel Force's £13 clearing fee (if it gets hit for import costs)

seems a bit pricey then. Still worth checking every so often for the odd bargain and maybe they will stock parts too.

NB I understand the Bronco CC01 is out of stock until January unless retailers have surplus stock.

Be more interested in whether they start stocking the spares / hop ups, but I doubt it. Particularly the UK warehouse, which would be the most cost-effective. 2 out of the 3 parcels I've ordered from Hobbyking international warehouse have landed with customs charges, sometimes costing more than the contents of the parcel.

I'm still struggling to find anything I want (need?) in the UK warehouse :lol:

I'm struggling too, I need a 380 BL motor which they have in stock, but was trying to find something little to throw in the cart before checkout. They have nothing of interest, save for perhaps another spare servo...

Old topic, but might be worth to add. Just noticed Hobbyking started to stock the Tamiya paints. The beginning of more Tamiya to come?
