Have a trip to Japan soon and need ideas for a souvenir

Post by RogueIV »

I have a vacation planned for Japan in the near future and was thinking to myself that it'd be cool to pick up something R/C related there that we don't have back home in the states.

So why not ask you folk? What would be a good R/C to pick up that isn't readily available in the US?

There must be some cool Yokomo stuff available there.

Meet up with Masaaki san and buy one of Masami's National Championship cars, they've been selling off a few from their collection.

Hahah I feel like that might be out of my price range.

Decals and stickers are going to be good as a low cost option and they will be instant conversation starters. Otherwise a kit, even if it's available in the states, the box and instructions.

I might end up with one of those Genova's that Masami seems to like a lot. They seem pretty cool.
