Toykar
I must comment on the service of the boss there(tall guy who looks like Leon Lai). I bought a spare miniz radio there and its is giving me some glitching problem and without asking any quetions he promptly sent it back to japan for repair. I got it back in just over a month and he didnt charge me anything. He also give me a flywheel adapter to try on me v1s without charge. Great guy.
Avoid the sales person though they are a pain in the ass.

Where to look for good deals?
1. SWAN: cheap bodies, kits, servos, starter boxes, tyres......always sold out!
2. Hobbylink: best performance 1/8 parts, for 1/8 racing, best fuel Gammalube!!!!
3. HOBBYBUG: most expensive stuff, exchange rates x2 as compared to 1.4 to 1.5 for other shops, cut throat prices.....

so you mean to say that toykar, Taising, Nacos hobby and many other shops are all cutting throat?????
by the way, Hobbybug offers very good service. Ben, the shop owner always helps out his customers willingly.
Also, they normally gives some discount on the parts customers buy.

I think it's ok for Taising and Toykar to charge 0.02 (x yen price) prices. They are the distributors, so they can't compete with the shops that they distribute to.
As for Hobby Bug.. are they distributors for any brand? Mugen Seiki?

Hi, they are going to focus on electric TCs. At the moment, the shop is mainly selling stuff from Winnie's.. eg, Team Losi, Peak Peformance. There are also some Tamiya F1 and TA04 parts also.
