Anyone know of any good online canadian retailers? I'm sick of paying import taxes, for one pull/spin start for $24 I'm paying $11 in taxes.

Also with USPS, how long did it take to get to you.

i have ordered from a couple canadian ones , but if you order in canada , you will pay taxes ...thats why i order from outside canada and i make sure it is shipped by mail...as for shipping time , it usually takes between 1 and 2 weeks depending on where they are located ...sometimes i got my stuff within a week ...I'm a patient guy so i dont mind waiting a bit 
......also , keep in mind , where i live , the mail has to make a detour ..so it takes a couple more days

Cool thanks. The guy at my lhs is placing an order tomorrow. They dont carry Losi except the minis and micros, but he said I could still order through them. Think I'm going to do that, support them so when I just need little stuff like glow plugs, igniters, batteries, chargers and what not there still there for me to get them without having to order online.
