From the sound of it (see this thread), shipping is going to be a reasonably major expense for the 914 R/C body group buy.
Is anyone interested in getting a SF Bay Area deal going on this? It could cut down on the shipping quite a bit. (Even more, if the car bodies stack or "nest" nicely!) One person would buy N of them from Ed, and the locals would stop in and get them in person... This would also cut down on the "hassle factor" for Ed, so it could be a win/win. I could be the guy "in the barrel", but it would probably be better if someone who actually had a Pay Pal account were to bo the guy. And, of course, this is all at the sufferance of Ed, who is being nice enough to do the whole distributorship thing for us. --DD |

Ok guys, here we are.....
I just ordered 40 914 shells, and 2 356 shells. The decals might come with it. He is talking to the factory tonight to confirm. I told him if thery were extra, to order 6 sheets for anyone who wants them. I decided to order them myself, and cover the cost, to get this started. I wanted to make sure they were on there way here ASAP. So Tues-Wed. I will get the preship proforma, and I will wire them the money. Sounds like 40 is about the right amount. We will have the only known 40 shell in the US. His company (Royal Hobby Distributors tm, Multiplex USA) has a RC race track in Southern CA, and was going to put on a race/car show there in June. He was intrigued by all of our getting the 914 bodies in, and was considering using the 914 for the marque car. He would have a real car show, then have 1/10 RC racing, requiring all participants to be using 914 shells. Wow would that be interesting. |
