No.

It's a kit and comes without electronics, engine, pipe and tires.

J, Do you use LMF (liquid masking Film) or just an ordinary masking tape? which is good, practical or comfortable to use between the two or best for beginners. I don't think we have that LMF here on our local hobbyshop. If LMF is better i'm gonna have to order it somehow.

LMF is nice if you can apply a nice even layer. It cits pretty easily with a sharp knife but there's always a risk to cut too deep into the body. Just be careful. It's good for more complex patterns.

Ordinary masking tape works great too and is really suited for simpler shapes but can be cut just like LMF.

This is just what I experienced and I'm no paint gury in any way.

LMF is the only way to go!! I have had nothing but good luck with it since the first time I've used it. I'm not big on the sticker masks or masking tape. It's harder to install that sticky tape than to cut out your design.

Allright.....ive tried to do research on kyoshos line of buggies. I just cant seem to find all the buggies kyosho made and whats the difference between them all. Like whats the differnce between a kanai 1 and k2 and k3. Or whats the difference betwwen a sp1 and sp2. Can someone who knows kyosho products well of their 1/8 buggies explain a time line of some sort. I just cant seem to find facts or stuff on the k2 or k1 or even k3. Im very intersted in buying a k2...only beacuse i hear it handles good and this one is cheap. But i need to kno what im buyin.

Also i talked to a guy about his k2 and he said that he can never let it go,it handles to good and its just great. I have a hyper pcr and it handles like poo poo garbage. Ive gone through numerous setups ,just cant get it to handle on our tight track. But prolly a k2 can.

Can someone who knows kyosho products well of their 1/8 buggies explain a time line of some sort. I just cant seem to find facts or stuff on the k2 or k1 or even k3.

I'll have a go, The Kania 1,2,3 are based on the MP7.5, The Kanai 1 is a pro kit with front LSD and gold wheel hubs and nuts, The kanai 2 had front and centre LSD's and blue anodising on the hubs and nuts. The Kanai 3 came with milled chassis and titanium bolts.

The MP777 SP1 & SP2 have different chassis and wishbones to the MP7.5. The SP2 has thicker shock towers, titanium hinge pins, longer chassis (longer wheelbase) and different air filter.

SP1 vs SP2

SP2 has no LSD/TCD diff. SP1 has it in front.
SP2 has longer rear shock shafts.
SP2 comes with 2 deg antisquat, SP1 with 3 deg.
SP2 has thicker shock towers but only one row of adjustment holes in the front tower but the shock can be leaned inwards more (one hole 'extra' on the inside) compared to the SP1.
SP2 has longer chassie and it's milled. Chassie layout is more similar to a Kanai 3 layout and it drives similar to it (a good thing).
SP2 has dark blue slightly longer springs. I do not know the spring rate compared to the SP1.
