You need to get in touch with Erik at IMEX, in Florida. You can Google it, it's the IMEX model company in Florida. I'm sure he'll have those bearings and can hook you up.

They are selling them in that link you've posted and they are in the USA.

Or am I missing something :think:

Oh wow, yes, that does sound a bit much. I guess there's nothing else you need from them to make the shipping worthwhile.

US shipping always seems expensive, I’ve been able to send tanks to the states cheaper than their internal costs

I may need a few things (I think I fried my hull leds somehow) but thought I would ask first. Even with 3 things in my cart, the "standard" $9 sounds high.

Last two things I've purchased from the states both cost $61 US for shipping, and I got caught at customs both times, and they include the postage in the VAT calculations :(

The reason why you will pretty much always get stung on US imports is because the US retailers have to declare the true value of the goods on the parcel. It is illegal for them not to, and the IRS would hang them out to dry if they didn't comply.

The Chinese will happily do whatever they can get away with. :think:
