they don't ship world wide because of international fraud. If i owned a company like that i would do the same.

Now that i think of it, UE can be compared to buying a soda at a baseball game...

Since your trapped, and there are no other places to go, you are forced to buy a $8 Coke. There is no compition since you can't leave the stadium and all the other stores within the stadium sell at the same price.

Kinda' like UE. Though their parts are expensive, they can increase the prices as much as they want because you are trapped. No one makes parts as strong or as 'performancy' than UE, they are basically a monopoly. No one else in the rc market makes a VBS type thing, no one else makes a Racer X type thing (that has good strength), no one this, no one that, bla bla bla.

well it doesnt matter to me too much because if i need somthing from UE than i can just ask mike to get it for me :)
