look at where woody is located and you will understand why. good deal, hookin a rcnt'er up man.
Yep, located in Japan where they are made!! You guys in the states can not get one of the other packages that the 777 is made in. It is a 777 Special One with the Sirio Kanai Evo II, to include the Sirio header and pipe! I picked up this whole thing for $830 with shipping. I had to order through a friend that speaks Japanese!

i saw that package on ebay one time. and it had a buy-it-now of like $1099! with the std. $65 shipping of course from hong kong.
Yeah,
In the states, the Hobby shops are cheaper than websites. For instance, you go to your LHS and need to buy say: some velos wheels for your buggy for a set of four you pay what $30, now try to buy the same thing from Tower and it's like $40 plus shipping! Over here it's just the opposite, LHS sell the same kit which I purchased for 128,000 yen which tends to be about $1200 give or take a few dollars. I got it from a Japanese magazine add which does internet sells and I got it for 85,000 yen which was like I said about $830. I was so stoked, I'm actually trying to get another before I leave in December. I just don't forsee it happening though. I have alot of expenses with this move. Namely, shipping alot of the stuff through the USPS or FedEx that I don't want stolen with my House Hold goods shipment throught the military! I'm gonna ship all of my RC's except the one I'm going to take on the plane with me. That would be my favorite the 777!! Well, talk at you guys later!!

Maybe that's what you think, but I mainly shop online and save hundreds of dollars by shopping online. The tires and rims I generally buy for my buggies I get a brand new set of 4 for $10 + shipping.woody said:
If I remember right, Ultimate Hobbies is one of the Japanese shops located in the magazine I was looking at!

Well, I usually shop through Tower hobbies and they are the biggest rip off! I use Stormer and they seem a little cheaper! I have not been to the states since 3 years ago, but I did go to Hawaii and the parts there seemed alot cheaper than what was online! I mean look at it, most of your LHS will sell a Kanai III for what $550-$600,a nd what is Tower still selling them for $750 what a rip off!!!!!! It really behooves a person to shop ebay!!

You can't beat the prices online. I dont' care what lhs you have.
Hey Pissant,
Steal money out of your dad's account. Damn, I have to steal money out of my own account, just to get what I want!! But, I beleive the wife is catching on. I was selling some extra stuff I have the other day and she said, "with the money your making, you gonna take me out to dinner?" I said hell no!! I've got money in the account we can use that!! This was my RC money!! Trying to get a few extra parts for my 777 like A-arms, maybe an extra diff, etc....

Take her out to dinner, it'll be cheaper than a divorce. Besides, if you do get a divorce you won't have money to spend on RC then.woody said:
Oh, I'm gonna take her!! It's just that she wanted me to use the money I had just made. No, shes a good woman! We just had our first kid not even two months ago. She pretty much lets me get what I want within reason, and after alot of begging! Hey EP, with the divorce thing: Been there done that, got the T-Shirt! Thank god I did'nt have kids with the first one!!
I was just joking about stealing money from your dad's account there Pissant! I have to wait until December before I come back to the states, and trust me I know how you feel. The anticipation is killing me. I'm so ready to see an offroad RC track!

Try a BMX track. You can really get buggies to fly on a BMX track. After this weekend we'll have a buttload of pics and video.
EP. you won't beleive this! Here in Okinawa, they don't have a BMX track. Trust me I've looked and inquired!! I can't wait to get back to the states! I'm going to Corpus Christi, and I was stationed in Kingsville, TX last which is about 30 minutes south of Corpus. I know right where the BMX track is in Corpus!! Can't wait to make the buggy's fly high!!
