Mr. Crispy, These are in Taiwan Ebay for 6,999 NTS (New Taiwan Dollars) that's about 145 UK pounds. Worldwide shopping I'm guessing about 30-35 UK pounds. (I know sending a Rough Rider from Taiwan to the UK is 23 UK pounds)The box for this truck is larger than the one I used to transport the Rough Rider. Ref Batterys, I use lipo's or my regular stick packs from my Tamiya cars. Access to the front most battery fixing pin is tricky with body panels in place.
