How did you arrive at that estimate? If you post the components you are looking at, we can suggest cheaper alternatives, or even if some of them are unnecessary.
The best landings are the ones you don't walk away from.

Do you really need a metal gear servo?

Also, don't look at the battery, charger, and Tx / Rx as "costs" of the tricopter, because you can use them on other helis or planes as well.

Even so, from this list your total is 8500 including the above mentioned components.

Hobbyking tip: Stay on one prodct page for a long time, it'll come up with a popup which offers a discount. It isn't much, usually 2-5 usd, but it adds up.

Another tip: ship using airmail and in small batches. Its cheaper that way, and less customs problems

I will recommend you to ship the lipos separately and which will take time to reach you.. also i just give you an estimate.. Use techniques like pranav suggested to get more discounts... :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Use buddy code if it is avail..
Go through the forum and get many tips about shipping from HK..
All the best for your build..
Dont forget to Upload the buil log..  {:)} {:)}

International. That is the Hong Kong warehouse.
It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic,
Of all things physical and metaphysical,
Of all things human and all things super-human,
Of all true manifestations of the head,
Of the heart, of the soul,
That the life is recognizable in its expression,
That form ever follows function. This is the law.

Emax 2822 weigh less... aerodrive 1200kv weighs 20gm more but powerfull than 2822 in my view..

Final decision is always your's... :)
