If you do that (prepay it with Kyosho America), they will get them ship to the US for you guys in less time than buying it from an overseas website.

We have up to 24 F-1 1/10th cars race indoors on our carpet track. Should be able to get 1/2 on the big track. The Monkeys would scream.
I agree and before you know it there will be thirty guy showing up ready to race them.

Nothing beats a failure but a try. Right? Either way not importing these cars to the USA is ignorant. Clearly there's a strong and growing market for Formula 1 racing fans were in the USA.

I'm sure they would love to hear from you.
Juan, I called kyosho, the representitive I spoke was very kind but not helpful due the fact he was told the market here in the USA is too small to import the KF01 to the USA.

IMO: This is why you don't see these cars flooding the tracks in the USA.
