The best thing is the 30 minute run time... take it out wheeling with me, then when i stop wheeling - i can take it for a thrash!

I ended up purchasing mine of Ebay - brand new, and i saved $300 (including the cost for shipping).

I should see it in the next week or so.

Although, the one i put my name for down at the shops is till going to get bought... my old fella needs a fathers day present!

You can get them on ebay pretty cheap - but you need to make sure that the person you are paying is in Australia, otherwise you get pinged for duties and taxes...

Cheers
Will

Barefoot,

Mine is from china - but it will be here before the stocks for the hobby shops arrive.

The good thing about it was that i didnt get pinged for duties or taxes (even though it was over $1000 AUD) because the seller is the actual importer, not me... so he pays the duties and taxes

I ended up paying $1075 plus $99.95 postage.

I am hangin out to get it... i ripped apart an old whipper snipper today and bored out the piston and gave it a nice polish. But now it wont start

Cheers
Will

Nice saving there

Not having to deal with the import crap is great too.
