Default HIMOTO'S 2007 catalog. some cool stuff!

hey thought this was pretty cool go to http://www.himotoracing.com/index.php and click the link to download the 07 catalog, its worth the wait, himotos got some pretty cool stuff coming! including: 8th nitro on road, the new buggy, and truggy, 16th nitro on road and off road, boats, 10th electric, upgrads including new clutch bells that will be availible on the new himotos and will hopefully eliminate the gear problem, headers and exhaust, and their new tools are awesome, they have woven graphite and aluminum handles!, wheels/tires, motors, bodies. and thats just to name some of their stuff. well anyway check it out

Been there and I told you guys they were going to bust out. That's the 2007 catalog and there is some really nice things in there. We will be at the RCX show in april in so cal to show this stuff off. So like nitro said check it out himotoracing.com and down load the 2007 catalog and see

Yes I am still trying. But things are looking up. The new catalog is cooland don't like all the up grades in there? And I just think it's a step up and out of the old and into the new. The boats and all the other stuff is great. You know they have a 1/10 scale electric buggy now and the on road car the nitro one is completely redone. And all kinds of stuff going on. Thanks Eric

yeah i noticed they re did all the nitro 10th scales. everything looks great, now all they got to do is work on availibility, just get www.towerhobbies.com to carry them and u will be set. that would be awesome, has himoto talked to tower? cuz if they got just a little more exposure and they would be a big hit!

Why would you want tower to carry them? You do realize tower isn't half as cheap as you think they are? It's a mind game, there big and they say there cheaper so you think there cheaper, I've been checking the stuff you guys post and then checking the dealer pricing from my dealers Price listings and (yes there isn't anything on tower that we can't get or don't have), but we choose not to sell it online, no profit in competeing with Tower and ebay. You do realize that tower is screwing you guys buy pricing parts at 35 to 40% mark up then slamming the shipping on top of it, usueal parts mark up is 18% if you're lucky, the parts for the Redcat Himoto stuff is completely screwed up, Tower will never carry them as long as there being sold like hookers on Ebay and the parts mark up stays so f-ed up. Your really not getting that great of a deal, I used to be able to get a way better deal for the same stuff from my LHS (before I started dealing my self) and that was a better deal even if they had to order it. I'm not trying to bash your opinions or sway who you buy from, just wanted to inform you that 90% of the time your getting ripped.

their website isn't slow, it's just that the information has to come from the opposite side of the world... i.e. China/Hong Kong

It doesnt matter how far away the site is, they have slow servers or something, many sites on the net come from other parts of the world and they are no where near as slow as that.

yeah and they fixed the gear problem in the 10th scales and u can also buy the clutch bells for the old versions like ours that didnt come with them, it looks like they got all the bases covered u can even get the heads in different colors now. and i like the new orange tools. and the boats are sweet too lol
