few of my friends are going to visit Japan in a month or so. since they are not RC people and have no knowledge in this field at all, I want to give them simple instructions on buying me some stuff...I am also a noob when it comes to mini-z, I only got my OL a month ago.
I have a few Q's:
* how much does a mini-z cost in Japan? I want a MR02, btw.
* which hop ups should I get
* is there a clone-accideental-buy risk in japan?
if someone can give a helpful link or straight up info, I'd really appreciate it.
thanks!

that's a lot cheaper than their list price... but i think h.k. is still much cheaper

it's quite fun out of the box... but if you need hop ups, look no farther than
bearings, ball diff, carbon fiber cf plates & an xspeed motor... that's all

if you tell them to go to a reputable hobby shop that sells kyosho stuff, i guess they'll be safe... although i may be wrong, i don't think japan has room for fake stuff...
hope this helps and good luck...
oh yeah you can go to www.kyosho.co.jp (choose japanese version) and click on mini-z i think there's a list of japanese stores in there...
I was a bit frustrated from what I saw on kyosho.jp, it seemed like there was hardly any difference from prices around the world...
thanks to everyone who replied, you all helped!
btw Headbanger, for some reason I get a msg saying I cannot pm anyone...so if you would be kind enough as to mail me whatever you can to dorilx@yahoo.com, I'd appreciate it very much.
