Its a good buggy for any racer, It is a bragging piece, but its not worth the coin unless you got money to burn. There are other cheaper buggies that will hang with it all day long.

Status: offline 		It is an excellent car, I have the SP2 and it is awsome, never breaks and is superb at handling, I have all of the WC components on the way.

They say it is the world edition becuase it is a SP2 with all of the hop ups that were used to win the Worlds. It would be like the SP3. It is worth it for all of the extra stuff you get with it, the price difference is only like $20from the SP2 , but you get almost $200 in upgrades from the SP2.

I have the SP2 and ST-R and they are both worth it, I have not had a problem with one ever, I love them.

Status: offline 		On amainhobbies its only $10 more then the SP2, so if your gonna get the Sp2 its well worth it too spend the extra cash and spend the xtra $10, considering you get over $150 worth of hop-ups. If you arent dead-set on getting the Sp2, or the WC. I reccomend you get the Xray Xb8 TQ. Its $549 on amainhobbies ( i know the price says $599, but put it in your cart, and the price changes), and its definetly as good, if not better then the SP2.

Status: offline 		to be honest, i have never had a problem with e-clips, and i like the fact that i can change them quickly. no problems there. and people complain about wood screws. they hold just fine and, again, i have had no problems with them. they may not seem "professional for the cost", but they work. and, with an electric screwdriver, u can screw them in and out fast in the pits

Status: online 		Kyosho has a long list of things that people have wanted them to change: the E-clips, screws, cast knuckles, chassis braces, lack of tires in the kit, etc. that they simply haven't done much to improve. The sole exception are the new chassis braces, with are a step up from the older ones. For them to charge as much as the do, with even Mugen dropping their prices down to sub $600 prices for their new MBX5R, shows me they're arrogant and think people will just keep lining up to buy their stuff.

Status: offline 		If you call Kyosho and ask them why they haven't changed them, I am am sure they will have good reasons. They are not stupid. Like I said before, the SP2 is bullet proof.

Status: online 		Are you kidding??? More phillips screws? I HATED those things when building and working on my SP2. Hex heads are so much easier to work with. Say what you want about Kyosho and their need to update parts, but that is something almost uniformly agreed on - the screws need to go.

I have to say if you do anything like regular maintanence it will cost you a lot more in spare screws.
I stripped my 7.5 down once before I sold it and needed to replace a number of screws. With my hyper I've lost count of how many times its been stripped, and I haven't replaced a single hex screw (though it may need some soon).
The amount of times you need to dismantle these things makes quality fasteners an ESSENTIAL part of any kit, let alone a quality one.
