SHIROI cracking Shiroi video

Have watched many many YouTube vids on the Shiroi now, despite virtually every one being overwhelmingly positive it's interesting to see the real disconnect in all the comments section.

Many US commenters rubbishing it based on the cost that it costs in the US, I get it, but almost all seemingly not realising there is a market outside of the US.

It's a real "boot is on the other foot" moment for me because as a Brit we have been paying over the odds for everything since forever. I've lost count over the last 30 years of the various items I've ordered from the states (and more recently China) that are still half the price of what we pay in the UK even with shipping.
 
they are all complaining about tarifs, but we pay these tarifs always. In belgium you pay for 1 liter diesel 1.52€ at the moment. They per gallon about the same amount and that is 3.7 times more diesel lol

I know right 👍🏻 They don't realise how easy they have had it for so long.
 
Discipline RC is fantastic!
I live in Australia everything costs more 😭
Team Corally cars are still cheaper than Traxxas and ARRMA though ... And in my honest opinion so much better!
Love my Kraton ... And the Mojave Grom .... I may buy more Arrma
Although, I've not bought any Taxus cars to compare they are ridiculous in price.

I am trying to buy the full range of Team Corally cars!
That will be a cool YouTube video
Gotta catch em all!

I got my Shiroi roller for $425 with a 15% discount coupon from Hobby Recreation Products I don't think that's too bad considering what I got. I guess if all you buy are RTRs maybe it seems expensive but for me the rollers is what really sold me on Team Corally.

I just wish they'd sell them in kit form, pack everything in a cheal brown box with no graphics and no assembly and cut the price because you no longer need to pay anyone to assemble it. Hell don't even bother putting the stickers on the body I can do that. I have to take the car apart to fix everything the factory workers did wrong or didn't bother adjusting anyway may as well just start with it disassembled from the start.

My Shiroi came with brinneled wheel bearings, the factory workers just slapped a 0.2mm shim in each hub and called it good which thanks to luck of the draw with tolerance stacking was too much for three of the wheels.
