201 release date
Cheers guys
The only reason I've not had one from Mk is because I've got credit in my local model shop & he's ordered them from the Hobby company. If it wasn't for that I'd have order one from Rc mushroom or Rc mart where I get my 511 bits from Shouldn't be long now by the sound of it though. It will come with the shell & wing, & will be stocking the spares with a bit of luck.

dont know why people dont want to help a UK re-seller! MK was trying to do everyone a favour by helping stock them, but everyone still seems to buy from HK.

I agree Lee. However I've been waiting for 3 weeks for some ballcups for my 511 from a different model shop. If a shop is going to stock the parts then they need to have them on the shelf and then will they be supported by racers. If I had ordered from HK then I would have them delivered and on the car by now. I spoke to DMS the other day who said that they are no longer stocking Tamiya parts due to people importing.

Is it even possible to buy a 511 in the UK from a shop yet? HobbyCo dont deserve any of the racers business. Is TRF separate from Tamiya model plastic co or whatever it's called? can't someone else apply to import them?

I have had some 201 kits delivered from Hobby Co today. Not sure why everyone is buying the 201 from HK, I know it makes sence to buy the 511 from there as the price Hobby Co quote is crazy!!!! Prices i have seen from HK for the 201 do not work out much less than our UK price, $225 plus approx $50 shipping = $275, exchange at approx 1.45 = £189.65 Plus VAT (sorry, have to add this as law  ) £222.84Our price is £234.95 including delivery, so yes we are £12.11 more expensive BUT you may also get charged a handling charge by Royal Mail/ParcelForce for goods imported........

As long as the clowns who continue to run Hobby Co are still in charge we will not stock Tamiya products any longer here at DMS, their service, knowledge, stock levels, price and back up all border on ridiculous (never mind just poor)
I applaud Marc for trying to get some 201 kits in early, if memory serves me right he has had them online for several weeks now and yet Hobby Co customers get thier first stock today and yesterday (with no bodies for a few weeks I might add). I will also bet that their level of spares support (and I mean key everyday items, NOT just random part numbers they order in that never break) will be very close to zero. As for the 511, thats another story, the most prominent car at last years Euros, already this years national champion in the hands of Pidge yet zero interest from Hobby Co, very sad to see indeed...... I also feel sorry for Lee, at the end of the day his job is two-fold, primarily to race and win for himself but also to promote and hopefully aid in further sales of more Tamiya products for the company. Whilst I appreciate he races globally, being a UK driver his efforts here are almost in vain due to the lack of support this countries importer gives to the TRF range (except for Lee's loyal followers and admirers who have mainly purchased from HK I guess)......
