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?

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.

Couldn't find one in the shops near me ended up making a Amazon Japan account and shipped one to my hotel.
