Anybody outside China actually ordered something directly on Taobao, with success..? It's like the Chinese ebay. There are several webhops in english that sells some of the Taobao items, like buychina.com But they ad like 20-30%. Lesu have many top notch upgrade parts for Tamiya, like lockable alu. axles, suspension with lots more movement than Tamiya original. The ready built trucks are fine, but their motor/gearbox can't compete with the Servonaut solutions when it comes to torque, silence of running. In europe many customized Tamiya trucks have lots of Lesu parts, but often with Servonaut motor and electronics, and Tamiya cabs (which no other Asian suppliers can quite match in quality. But most of the Asian 'copy-cat' cabs are okay, often some softer in the material, and not that thight fit as with Tamiya)
