Japanese rc-shopping?

Twister · #1 02-03-2007

G'day mates, I would like to buy a Yokomo Mr 4 Bx from Japan or Hong Kong but i can't find any shops that carry them. They are quite expensive here in sweden ( 470£!). Thanx.

I find the US just as good

Have you tried RC champ, RC mushroom

US seem to get stung on customs more though! Altough don't know how much of a Nazi style system you have in Sweden! In england Customs are a bunch of stealth Taxing sperm burpers!

The tax man just seems to love me, its still loads cheaper though than buying in the uk, i just got a new losi xxx cr for £135 including shipping and the customs charges

I think rc champ in japan carries the Yokomo. Their website isn't that user friendly, but just mail them. Service is first class. I ordered my TRF501 from them.

I chose the TRF501 over the Yok because Tamiya parts are readily available online, unlike Yokomo parts.

Hobbymania in Hong Kong is one of the better places to go.

They have both the 501X and Yokomo. Link here!

The Yok is a bit expensive though - us$50 more than the 501

Thank you for your help. It seems to be better off shopping in Hong Kong taxwise. My only problem now is to choose between the 501x and yoke. But that is a quite nice problem.
