I wish DDM would do that for me.

When I had a Skyline I used to ask Japanese companies to send stuff marked as used goods and they did it every time.

I pay enough taxes.

 

[DougStar]

From what I hear if you can proof you have a shop ddm will give you agent prices = 30% off?? i know two guys here that get this deal?‍

Unfortunately I don’t know anyone who owns a shop.?

 

[DougStar]

Next option ? buy all your parts from rcmax?????

 

[Milo]

I do get some bits from them, but they don’t have everything I need. I’ve basically amassed enough parts to build a new rig. I’m waiting on my new engine, chassis and some stuff from Bonehead. I can’t bloody wait. ?

 

[DougStar]

You right they don't have everything ? but if you compare from say couple years back ? he now X3 the stock and its growing ??

 

[Milo]

I’m not going with a big bore this build, but probably will in the future for my other Kraken. I’m gonna have a choice of engines for this, I’ve got a BZM 26cc, Scott Finlay 34cc, G320 with an ESP top end kit (need to build this still) and an Oddified 32 with a stroker on its way with an ECU.

decsions decsions. ??
