also, www.rcimports.net

RC Imports brings in the Technokit and RS5, and Victory Speedway (the importer that was at RCX) imports the FG cars which have won the past two World Championships. Technokit has a "Junior" car which is around $700 retail. 1/5 scale is a lot of fun, it's just a little expensive to get started. After that, though, it's not bad.
