Hi TRF-Powered,
Racing in Japan for me, was THE best r/c experience ever. Not only racing in a great atmosphere but the people there in Japan were top notch and the food was delicious. They were nice, helpful and funny. They had numerous parts we couldnt get in the states, so some people from the team got the chance to take advantage of that plus with a 30% discount. after the races, basically we just toured shizuoka, and tokyo. The tour of Tamiya Japan was cool too. I actually got the chance to fiddle around with the evo III that was on display that the race. The drivetrain is unbelievably smooth and pretty light too. And yes, any tamiya stick pack is only allowed. The new Tamiya 3300hv batts that were the handouts, were pretty impressive. I would love to go back someday.
Good Luck! JM
Thanks for replying.... Just wondering, did Tamiya treat you guys a tour of japan??? HPI guys seem to get really good treatments when they are in Japan, with tour of japan and few hobby shops here and there. What about you guys???
