egress rerelease in nov 2013

Are Banzai not prepared to "assist" people in their hope of avoiding customs?

No, seemingly not. I've mailed them a couple of times before and never get a response. I order from them all the time as their prices for small items, like motors, parts etc defy belief with how they cheap they are, and as they can go via snail mail, they never get hit with customs. The kits only have EMS as a shipping option and they seemingly don't entertain 'assistance'.

They have "assisted" me on every order I've made. In checkout you write a comment on the amount of assistance you need;) Prefer Banzai over Stella nowadays. Very fast shipping!

Well then based on getting hit, this is roughly the total cost of the Egress for UK buyers.

Kit with EMS Shipping - £248.54

UK VAT - £49.71

Parcelforce Handling Fee - £13.50

Total - £311.75

I will have to give them a whirl soon then as it seems they are the cheapest around by far.

Stella just confirmed me they will receive next week

Banzai says out of stock at the moment?

I've never actually ordered from Stella before believe it or not. I've always used RC Mart, Banzai or eBay sellers

[mheald]

Banzai says out of stock at the moment?

Yeah it's a pre order which ships on either Friday or Monday apparently. According to their Facebook page the Egress is 'VERY' limited too???? Which I've never seen Banzai state before. Could this be a short term run like the Top Force maybe?

[Tamiya Era]

Better to stick with (STELLA), Well known Seller and super packing offers

Note to Dear Stella:

( some sellers are having this for very low price, but we have faith that and since you always care about your customers to get same or less, which is what makes you (SPECIAL)..

Sincerely

Tamiya Era and TC Members

I asked Stella to price match to RCMada on my TRF201 (ca $40 difference) but thye wouldn't budge - at least they replied to my request.

Hope not. I want another one next year to convert to a 2001!

I think the best we can hope for the Egress from them would be $380. Fingers crossed.

[Wandy]

Banzai are now sold out of all their pre-orders.

[mheald]

Banzai are now sold out of all their pre-orders.

Well, they did say 'very limited' on their facebook page, but ****, I had no idea it was THIS limited! So happy I pre-ordered when I did. Phew.

[mheald]

Maybe...just maybe...Tamiya are mimicking the RC10 release. Doing a limited run on a classic buggy? You never know, Tamiya has the finances and muscle to do such a thing if they chose. Although it might have been handy if they'd told people first lol.

[mheald]

I've got to say that I am now uncontrollably excited about this car...its really, real now, its paid for, its coming and it 'should' be in my arms by next Friday all going well. That maybe wishful thinking as I'm sure UK customs will impound it, hold it to ransom and not let it out until mid the following week...but I can hope right?

Wahaooooooooooooo my fave RC car of all time is actually coming!

[ralphee]

My thinking its the initial first run is limited, more will follow, and I'm sure we will see them on Ebay for a while to come. Its tempting to pop for the one on Jasons, but no, I've pre ordered with Stella, so gonna stay faithful to a TC sponsor. Ill just hit up Jasons for a bucket load of spares when he starts breaking them down!

does Stella still run a manual/email preorder system?

Yes, got a mail from them about 2 weeks ago. Will not go through with the actual order though.
