I agree w/KYOSHO being way over priced for their stuff...just look at their new buggy, almost $900-...ouch...I could by almost 2 others.

Looks like an overpriced t-maxx... I have a feeling a revo will outhandle it, at the limit. Another option I guess...

Kyosho is just using and abusing of there name to sell there stuff, Look at the 1/8 world, kyosho is clearly behind. AE, Losi, HB and Xray rule the place.
People are not blind. why buy a 900 $ buggy when you can get pretty much the same stuff for 400 $ ?
The argument of made in Japan is irrevelant, Xray is made in european country (slovakia) and isn't that much overprice compared to the quality.

Btw does Losi 8 is built in USA or is it made in china ?

It's a shame that Kyosho are so expensive. I wouldn't mind a MP9 but couldn't be bothered spending that much. Some people that are sponsered by Kyosho keep telling me that it is fully hopped up, no special parts required, can't help to laugh at them

More like a D8 and a MMM. Still a good deal though. Wonder how the durability will be on the D8. It does look nice for the money.

A Neu, MMM and an Enerland pack costs more then an Xray kit to begin with.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

Yeah, was wondering about the durability. Surprised the shock towers aren't plastic

Plastic shock tower is not necessarly a bad thing, almost all 1/10 use plastic (fiber loaded) or graphite shock tower. I prefer good plastic than cheap aluminium.
Check price off a shock tower in 1/8, price goes from 30 $ to 70 $ ... A RC10 T4 shock tower i sold around 10 $

Funny I have just seen a hyper 8 under 300 $...
