    Motors I got to motorize a technic car I have and one more technic vehicle I have (not made yet). Also gives an opportunity for my kids to brainstorm and make something interesting. At the price, I didn't really think twice. Each tag was like ₹150.

    The Lego (and Knockoffs) Thread

    Not really. I know mindstorm uses motors and all (but don't know anything else apart from that) but these are generic motors, battery boxes (with inbuilt battery), controllers and so on.

    Options to get stuff shipped from China...Lets discuss

    You will find such people on alibaba too. Dedicated shippers. But most offer DDU (delivery duty unpaid) so customs becomes your responsibility. It may be wise decision to try a small lo value order to test waters.

    Options to get stuff shipped from China...Lets discuss

    Custom clearance will be done by Fedex/UPS and they will charge clearing fees + actual customs (on invoice value). Ofcourse don't undervalue so much that prompts the custom officer to open your package. Make it sort of believable.

    Any tips on saving mobile plans?

    Me and my wife use Jio and recharge for the 899 rupees plan which gives me 2GB Per day + 20GB extra (with unlimited 5G) and validity of 90 days. So, for each 3 months, we have to spend around 1800 Rupees. Is there any way for me to reduce the cost? We are ok with 1.5 plan too.

    30-40L. I was not aware of my current bag's capacity in liters but checked manufacturer's website and found it is 32L, so something around that.
