We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of the official Vi-FA online store! This has been made possible thanks to your incredible support and cooperation, for which we are profoundly grateful.
Regarding Our Achievements:
-
A driver using Vi-FA parts recently secured second place at the All-Japan Championship (Sports Class).
-
Team Yokomo used our parts at the World Championships.
-
Many drivers are planning to use our parts in the upcoming All-Japan Championship (Open Class and Super Expert Class).
Regarding Pricing:
You may have noticed a price increase. Previously, we offered introductory pricing, essentially a trial period, on Yahoo! Auctions. These prices were honestly unsustainable. They didn't even cover basic costs like materials, let alone labor, which was effectively zero.
Why did we offer such low prices initially? There are three main reasons:
-
To introduce Vi-FA to the market: As a brand-new RC parts manufacturer, we needed to build awareness before focusing on sales.
-
To gather product feedback: While we conduct thorough simulations and real-world testing before launch, we wanted to gather user feedback to create the "ultimate" parts. The lower price point encouraged feedback that we could use for improvements.
-
To build a track record: We needed to establish a track record of sales and demonstrate the performance of our products.
About Our Online Store:
Our online store has three major features:
-
Full lineup of body mounts for major chassis and bodies: Unlike physical stores, which are limited by inventory space, we offer a complete lineup of body mounts for all major chassis and body combinations, made to order.
-
Products not available in physical stores: We will offer a variety of RC-related tools, including adjustable body mounts that allow for fine-tuning, along with products not directly related to RC.
-
Competitive pricing and discounts: We will regularly offer sales and coupons. You can plan ahead and purchase parts at a discount online, or visit a physical store for immediate needs.
Important Notes:
-
With the launch of our official online store, we will no longer be selling on Yahoo! Auctions.
-
The Yahoo! Auction account will remain, but it will no longer be affiliated with Vi-FA in any way.
-
The introductory pricing offered on Yahoo! Auctions (below cost) has ended. Prices have been adjusted to reflect the true value of our products, enabling us to continue operations and develop new products. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
