I have decided that the time is ripe for rebuilding the trusty old RMX. I have a heap of new parts that have been waiting for the right time to be fitted to her. I did however need to get some engine parts together to do it properly. After literally months of research I have just paid for some engine bits to be sent from the states As listed below Red is what it would have cost me if sourced from Australia Approx

Works out at $327 AUD using paypal @86c/dollar :angry:
$673 – $327 = $346 saved
hope this example may help someone contemplating doing similar to there machine. I will still require other bits and pieces that will be sourced from Aussie but when I can save myself hundreds of dollars the choice is much easier.Ollie
That’s a saving Ollie that cant be argued for sure
Two questions though, what happens when a part is in the wrong box or damaged in shipping say?
How does the warranty work for those parts say there is a problem?
$346 is hard to go against and I am not as I have shopped overseas.
Where did you get quoted here?

Yes mate the best I have found is on Ebay ATVunlimited

Their communication is not the best but no problems when you actually purchase straight from the site and then ask the seller a question Ie get a real person
