Tech Racing Japan Products coming to US
 

Hi Guys,

Just a quick announcement: In a couple of weeks, we will be bringing in another famous brand from Japan: Tech Racing!

We will be bringing in their line of hop-ups for touring cars, their MY02R Touring Sedan, and the Slit Road Magic 1/12th pan car.

I will keep you guys posted! :)

also, please let the MY02 thread drop and consolidate all Tech Racing related posting on this thread :) Thanks guys!

wow MY02... theres tamiya trf 415 rite there ;)

Congrats Steve..
You have another winning car coming to your shop ...this is the belt car to have right now:nod:
-Dave:tire:

yea didnt the MY02 win a big japanese race this yr?

Just wondering, how MY02 and TRF415 going to compete? They basically are the same.:confused: Look like Tech Racing is helping designing 415. Is that just stabbing their own back?

haha..more interested in the 12th scale!

hahaha,,,
TRF415 is developed by Tech Racing though, besids TB-EVO3 is also developed by TechRacing. they are like OEM.
MY-02 is not same as TRF415. TRF415 is going to be new version of MY-02.
if you considering about buying MY-02, you should buy MY-02R, it is top notch !!

but then if u buy my02r shouldnt we consider trf415?

no,you should !! :p
but you know what, 415 is not available yet. that's the point !:lol:

and the my02 is proven to be one heck of a car

Steve, do you have pic for the R?

I have pics of one. But I'll have to scan them in later on. Looks pretty nice.

These are pics from the Tech Racing website, they are just the MY-02, not sure what the updates are on the R edition though.

The MY02R is listed at around JPY45,000+, it's quite expensive but it already has the new 3-D cut chassis which is narrower than stock and everything seems to be more centered. Tech racing is selling that chassis for JPY11,000. I am sure SpeedtechRC prices will be very competitive. Keep us posted Steve:)

Think i'll stick with the xray for now... looks like a great kit though!

Hi Guys,

The pictures you guys see on here is not the "R" spec. it is the MY02, but the "R" includes so much more hop-ups and what they call 3D cut graphite.

and although the retail price calls for 45,000 yen ($420), I believe the target price we're shooting for is right around $365.

I cant wait to see how this car looks, Dave told me that it is the best belt car made some time ago... Now it's easily avalible :D

Randman I see one of those in our future!!!!:lol:

The best part will be the XXXs one-way...

:D

Steve,
Will the MY02Rs that you will be getting come with this?

forty6,

That would be the one. And the upper deck is using that style too. The 3D cutting allows for a thicker chassis to be used while the cutting lowers the CG on the heavier components (example: motor mount, bulkhead...etc.)

Tres,

Yes, the light weight one-way would be a part of our product line as well. And also available to the TC3 guys.

the schumacher looks like the my02, its name is almost the same too "mi2" :sweat:

Wow, that's a beautiful chassis, hopefully I'll be able to do stuff like that with my mill coming in a week or so :D

I wonder if that xxx-s oneway will hold up better than the Losi one. I could use a oneway that will hold up for my XXX-4. :sneaky:

I've heard it's extremely strong, propably be the perfect choice for the XXX4.

:nod: Thats what Im thinking! :D

THE AUSY DOLLAR
 

heys guys i would just like to find out how much it would cos to import a MY02R to australia (Down Under)

thanks

Re: THE AUSY DOLLAR
 

You can order it from SpeedtechRC.com when it's avalible, Steve ships internationally.

When will the MY02R become available

Couple weeks from what Steve said at the top of the thread..

I've got 2 MY02 in the basement because you have to run a one-way or a spool in the front. Tech dosen't make a diff that fits. Trust me I have been running the car for 2 years now and have been in contact with Tech many times. I run on carpet w/foam tires and you have to have a diff.
