And pro-s-futaba also sell overseas. from what i heard, this one is deviated from mugen staff. but price-wise, something like 5% more than typical discount. but they are specialized in kawahara too.
you may also try www.rakuseimodel.co.jp, they have an email contact [email protected]
these shops are located mostly in akihabara, where very famous in buying electronics stuff in tokyo. they are quite well in scale and set up.
or there is a hk's called rcmodel.com.hk

yeah, that is the exact same question about stopping me buying a MUGEN for the first time.....can MTX4 use regular offset foam (0 degree) instead of those more expensive Ellegi or mugen foams...? Someone already mentioned MTX3 need to dial the pillow balls out to offset the "offset"....does MTX4 took care of that design..?

i don't use any offset tires. all i use is zero for my mtx-3 and no problem at all. i always set the car width around 198 to 199 just to be safe from tech. the threaded part of the pillow ball is pretty long. so you may pull it out to make the car wider and it will still be safe and the car will still be a tank (durable). and besides, you won't be legal anyways if you pull it too much as your car will be very wide.

yeah it's not that big of deal. because i've tried both zero and the offset fast tires. as long as you set the car to the same width then you'll be ok.

I got around the offset problem by using 28mm tires of certain brands when their 30mm did not work. Many of the tire companies make 28mm for the electric carpet scene, so, if I couldn't find the offset in 30mm that worked, I went with their 28mm and rolled with it.

I found out if you run what mugen says to run it works out perfectly....

Who is going to build MTX4 and post some photos FIRST in this forum ? The race still on except anyone who live in Japan, especially neighborhood in Chiba !!!
I suspect somebody from America is going to build and post it here first.
My LHS in Jakarta, Indonesia have ordered 8 units from Japan, but I don't know when it is coming exactly. LHS owner said October.
