At last one of the major UK hobby shops has the Mini-T on their price list.
The price is a little scandalous @ £155.00 which equates to US$266.00.
Scandalous if you ask me!

Hated1,
That's how I buy most of my RC stuff, I refuse to allow the UK hobby distribution companies to rip me off.
They tend to tag the price at $1=£1, so we are paying $40 too much per $100.
In reality, US$1.00 costs me £0.62. Insane!
Now to find me an e-tailer who has Mini-Ts in stock :)

i got mine from rad microsport. it was 154$ shipped. try him, he has great customer service. although your shipping will be a little more, it will be worth the wait in money you will save.
i would almost wait until the hop-ups are out so you can get a couple things at once.

you got yours already? Still waiting on mine from him. I suppose all the way to IL takes a little longer. Not like I have batteries to run it right now. I guess I can go to the LHS today and find something. It's at work anyways, so not until sunday will I be messing with it again. It'd just be nice to have posession of it.

Thanks guys, I'll be ordering mine after I return from my vacation, as I am off to South Africa in two weeks time to visit my offspring (my son)
It wont arrive back here in time, shipping from the U.S. this time of year is a little slow due to the Christmas rush.
I'll be back in early January, so hopefully the prices may come down a little bit, who knows?
Once again, thanks guys :)

The problem with buying in the US and having it shipped to the UK is that you might get stung by a VAT at customs. Something to keep in mind
