EU distributors are not allowed to ship to the US per contract, because Tamiya USA has to service the american market. The story is Tam USA don't do their job very well. Same with asian distributors. They are not allowed to ship to EU anymore. This situation changed a year ago. Tamiya has implemented a strictly market protection mechanism worldwide.

I am not sure how Tamiya can force HK shops not to send to the EU? Take their sales away? That would really hurt Tamiya, because the highest sales outside Japan are from HK.
On the other hand the EU is protected by their import duties which are quite high anyway.

All big players in HK (RCmart, rcjaz etc.) stopped sending out Tam parts and kits to EU. It began in their Ebay shops 1 year ago.
Example:
This means, they cannot send it to my address. Same with RCMart. Year ago there was never a problem.

I am not disputing. But I do wonder what power does Tamiya have on HK distributors.
They really are shooting themselves in the foot. The world is trying to take down barriers and companies are trying to stick to 20th century?

So I noticed that the TC 7.2 has camber link spacers on bulkhead like the ones that Tamiya implemented on 419x. Also noticed that it still uses old style sway bar mounts.. wonder why they haven’t switched to the ball bearing type.

I know this from 100% source. It's a fact!
