Manticore

no no, i am not !

you have more hop ups then I do ! say, I dont have that teflon piston

eddiethefish

Well, I figured what the heck, I'm not gonna be in Japan often, just take'em. Besides, I envy you that you can easily have access to parts and hopups. People here in the States are not that fortunate.

Manticore,

I need your expertise. Can you help me rate the Five Stars Shock Spring against the Mugen's?

Thank you,

Manticore

i can only see the color of the springs !! I have bad eyes !

eddiethefish

Sorry, I didn't bring my digi cam, but here's the info you maybe need it to figure out:

For the Rear Spring:

RED: Diam. 1.6X6.5*26.5
BLUE: Diam 1.7X6.5*26.5
GREEN: Diam 1.8X6.5*26.5

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I figure that the larger the diameter of the spring, the harder it is. Please confirm.

Manticore,

Would you be kind enuff to list down the hop-ups on your MTX-3.
perhaps include some pics of it?
Am about to take an order from Harmony.

thanks

Hey Eddie,

you got PM

eddiethefish

Do they have the credit card surcharge at Harmony? All the Japanese R/C Shops I went to in Tokyo DO charge me 5% of credit card surcharge, in addition to the 5% VAT.

Cash is surely the best, just like the old saying...

Vinyard

Fish,

Honestly, i dun know coz it will be the first time placing an order with them. but i do have a paypal account which they accept.

Vinyard

Any good ideas on preventing the belts from stripping in a sandy track? or at least make it last a main?

eddiethefish

Too bad a lot of Japanese haven't been fond of the PayPal convenience. And, PayPal do charge hefty fees when dealing internationally, i.e. currency exchange fee on top of the PayPal International Fee, etc.

Well the next time I'm in Japan, the end of July, I'll make sure I bring tons of cash. It does make things a lot easier.

Vinyard

I suppose yes that's an idea.

but wun it be a tad troublesome?? especially the exchange rate
being slight different if you are changing it in your home town and japan? and u are carrying a wad of dough there.. hehe..

stefan

Does Harmony ship to the US?

If so, do they have a website /online shop?

I've heard a lot about them but never saw a link.

Thx

eddiethefish
