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.

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.RogueIV wrote: ↑Mon Jul 03, 2023 3:34 pm 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.

I might end up with one of those Genova's that Masami seems to like a lot. They seem pretty cool.JosephS wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2023 4:42 pmDecals and stickers are going to be good as a low cost option and they will be instant conversation starters.
