Puchi Price Watch

Okay, since this doesn't directly conflict with the TinyRC Shop...I'm going to sticky this thread.

Go ahead and post here any great deals you've found for the Puchi Maru (for a new kit)

The average street price is ~$85 (before shipping).

Alright, I'll start the fun...

Stormer Hobbies: All 4 types of cars, $59.95 (UPS $6.95)

Alright, I'm not gonna do all the work alone...Go to the Yokomo site and look in their Dealer listings (http://www.yokomousa.com/dealers.html)

Hunt through that list and that's how we'll find the deals (that's how I found Stormer)

LOL i found a better one on this site! its at rcmodels.com LOL $59.95 and free shipping LOL unfortunetly *I* didnt find this..... our man tympano was the one....

namuna, we should do this systematically.... in other words if you have gone through the whole Cali list and havent found a deal then tell us that youve gone through all that work.... and save us from wasting our time going though the califorina list

and do you know if stormer will accept MO??

Well, I'm guessing by your response that you actually went through and CALLED all those shops?

Not me, if they ain't got a website...They ain't gettin my business.

Okay, so I am getting a silver Fit from Stormer. I will let you know how fast it gets here. I sent a money order, so it will take a bit more of time.

I'm going to drive it once, and then tear it apart and add the 3rd cell. I may change the rims, I think that's scary.

Actually They are $40 now, and they don't mention that they are in bad condition, but get this, it will cost $30 to ship to FL. GROUND! what are they on drugs?

I'm curious on how to set the frequencies on these cars? I've read that they have 6 different ones!

Wild03! Man it's been awhile since you've been around! Nice to see you come out again.

Now, as far as the frequencies go...It seems pretty straighforward on the PCB of the car, but in the TX the crystal is a little BRICK and I haven't gotten around to taking it apart to see if it's a little more simplified inside yet.

You might want to hold out until next month anyway, supposedly RadioShack is releasing the ZipZaps SE...Same scale, with Digi Propo steering! I'm eager to see what that's all about.

Thanks for the warm welcome, I've been super busy lately don't have time to run my cars anymore, I did order a mini RC boat to see how that goes on the lake here at work!

Wow, so radio shack is on the ball, that's nice that they are not dropping the ball on the mini RCs. I was curious about the frequencies because the marus don't list their frequencies on the descriptions, my guess was that you could set the frequency by moving a dial or something, that would be nice!


Good talking to you and GREAT work on the motor RPM post!

Are they any sites or closeouts anywhere for these (in North America)? None of the above no longer stock them.

Did Yokomo officially stop production in Japan? Or is this just lack of interest overseas?

Can't even find any on ebay.
