so....... finally.
a friend of mine helped me with credit card to purchase from international websites.
ordered 1/10th scale drift car from amazon(us) , its redcat lightning epx drift car.....
although redcat is not as good as hpi or other major brands but its quiet a good start with descent quality.
so here is what i get:
redcat lightning EPX drift car RTR ( with 2.4G radio, 1800 mah battery, charger) cost :- $130 ( ~ Rs 8030/-)
shipping from amazon dot com (US) :- Free ......
to amazon.
custom duties :- $30 ( Rs 1860 )
total :- $160 ( ~ Rs 9900 ) , at my door steps.
ordered on 14th feb , shipped on 17th feb from phoenix (AZ) US.
shipped by UPS. (again
to amazon).
expected to reach me :- 24th feb.
eagerly waiting for it now.
one thing i forgot to mention.
amazon (precisely UPS ) have there own brokers/tie-ups to clear packages through customs.
so they collect the ~custom charges before hand , at time of ordering with amazon.
so i dont have to worry about customs clearance issues now.
will keep up as follows........
