Japan Parts Hunting

Japan, Parts hunting.

On my last trip, Of course I went to some RC shops... Fewer and Fewer are around though with the on-line shop megastores dominating.

So Akihabara these days is only home to TAM TAM, Super Rajicon and Futaba Sangyo. compared to the 8 or 9 stores that were open when I lived in Japan just 5 years ago.

But I did manage to find some key bits that I wanted. and of course a stack of wheels from additional trips to the overdose head shop and other circuits.

I also was spying some overdose parts, but the $400 for 2 small parts didn't compute... It was simply enough to buy an entire new chassis. So they can remain in Japan.
