wow.. that would be very cool!
your story remins me of once at venture hobbies during the same week as the hobby expo. A large group of japanese men in suits were in the hobby shop. I was asked by a translator what kind of RC's do I own. I told him a t-maxx, Kyosho Landmax, stampede, and TC3. He translates it back to the group of guys. then says, "why did you not buy any tamiya products like the terra crusher?" I replied, "dunno.. I simply like my maxx because of the light weight and size. the TC is way too heavy and large for my tastes. its like a big heavy oversized lead weight." We then go back and forth these guys asking me questions why I bought my RC's and such. then the translator tells me they are the top dogs... CEO, VP, and all from Tamiya!!! Man did I feel bad for saying the TC was a big oversized lead weight truck. Open mouth insert foot. haha!! so when the hobby show comes to town be carefull what you say to peopl in the LHS's... ya never know.
