Hi Andy the system was US$119 and postage should be US$13, so US$132 for the kit with P+P or about GB£90 after currency conversion via paypal. But there maybe a customs charge for VAT
and parcelforce handling charge
at this end so I will let you know the totals when I get it.

Phil should fill the paperwork out so that it flys under the radar, small packet stuff rarely gets inspected.

it came through customs with no charges and I fitted it to my HL tiger and it works fine, Just had to mod the TX with a microswitch on the left stick to get the battle system to fire when the gun recoils
the micro switch is conected to the "K" button contacts on the back of the PCB.

If you get stuck we can always help. The DBC needs an extra 5V connection compared with the DBCRC2, but is the easier of the 2 versions to set up and troubleshoot.
David has some detailed installation instructions here too:
