Anywhere I can buy these in the UK?
 

Just like all you guys, I've been getting majorly hyped up about these xmods. The one problem (along with bits and zips) is that it's extremely hard to get hold of this stuff in the UK.

I check on radioshack.co.uk but they don't have it listed. Is it likely that they will?

I might just go with a US american shop aslong as shipping to the UK isn't deadly. I'll go off and search some more...

:(

well, since about 5 people in the us have them right now, i would say that it would be pretty hard to get them, but ebay is always an option one was on there a while ago, i am figureing soon that it will have hundreds/....

Re: Anywhere I can buy these in the UK?
 

hey ther fellow uk member,

I called radioshack uk, about the xmods and zipzap se and they had no knowledge on the products, they even tried to convince me that the fast 2 furious zipzaps were the se ver, infact ther pretty useless, when the se came out in the states i emailed them on several occasions they never got back to me once.........

so far ive imported my epochs from here but had to pay £40 tax on 2 spec2s, but when importing from toyeast in japan no tax watsoever......

hopefully if the xmods site retails them, we may be able import them.............

if u find out any ways of getting them to the uk please keep me posted.......

they won't import them out of the country just like radioshack.com they will no be available through the website.

Although its great that Ebay will have them avaiable to foreign buyers...i have to wonder if its worth it? A Mini Z will run you $115 roughly....and im sure the Xmods will be marked up a TAD (sarcasm) on Ebay so you could conceivably end up paying Mini Z money for an XMOD. Hell if thats the case just get a Mini Z in the UK ( assuming thats poossible).

Yes, we can get mini-z's in the uk. Though they're £125! Just like we pay £35 for a super bit! :(

The radioshack UK website does seem to be pretty useless in itself. That's pretty bad as on the xmods website it says "fueled by radioshack". Hopefully radioshack won't be the only retailer.

Hi Radioshack,

This is the third email I have sent you, but I still have not received a reply.

What I would like to know is Radioshack UK going to release zipzap se(the new ver) and xmods RC cars, which are on sale in your American Radioshack
outlets......

kind regards
Reeyad

Why not buy one from someone in the US that would be willing to just go down to radio shack and buy one then ship it to you.

Check this thread here Hope this helps.

If you want an XMOD
 

hey whats up? i know i'm new to the forum, but i just found out there's already a crazy group growing for xmod freaks!... lol

anyways, i actually work for radioshack so i can get ahold of a few xmods for you even if my own store doesnt have any available. If you want any or want to get in touch with me directly over email, just mail me at norbal69@tampabay.rr.com or PM me.
