Yeah! A kit version of the GST or Nemesis would be cool.

Status: offline 		I personally like Kits myself. But unfortunately the RTR wave has really damaged the "Kit" scene. Some companies barely offer kits for their race versions now. Hence the "race roller". It seems to be how society has evolved through technology etc. We have become greedy with our time because of the technological advances we've made. Kind of contradictive if you ask me.

RTR is to Iphone as Kit is to analog phone.

Sad really.

Lets start a Kit revolution. haha.

Status: offline 		Well, I can understand that from a marketing standpoint, an RTR package will draw new customers, where a kit won't. But, why not produce both? The only cost is a little bit of time at the manufacturing plant to put a few RCs in a box without the radio/wheels/engine. The only new things that need to be done is to update the website/catalogs, and design a new box that says "KIT".

You are right though Andrew, its not a CEN specific thing, it's just the "New Wave".

Status: offline 		Dustin,

You are right. The labor isn't the problem. The problem is, will thousands of people buy a Genesis kit vs the RTR?

Its not cost effective / economical to produce limited quantities of a product.


I for one am all for Kits, but hobbyists that enjoy building kits are becoming a rare breed.

Status: offline 		I'm not sure if its been mentioned but I would like to see the CNC towers included in the Matrix FRE kits rather than CF, which most racers replace. Also CNC knuckles, which almost ALL users replace.

On the TR I would like to see the buggys servo tray and braces used. They look much better, I haven't owned a TR yet though.
