It propably go out at September - November in my opinion. It's an excellent date for the drivers. The season ends and you will ahve 2-4 months to think if you will buy it for the new season

You can still get parts for the MP6.....
Nobody here knows but they will probably stop making parts soon but I bet there will be parts available for at least a few years.

LOL, Overrated...I guess that's why they've won practically everything but that
has a lot to do with their drivers too so I can see your point too.

The strr truggy kit is about the same price as a kit as I'm sure this will be.
Now just gotta pump in another $500-700 to have it tricked out and smoking
anything for the next 5 years. That is, if you can drive it.

I'm sure the haven't gone backwards in their engineering and design so
it will be awesome. Love the frogger colors too. I think what they're saying
with that is "it'll be jumping all over and past the competition!"

If Kyosho charges $750 + for a buggy kit when there's MANY more kits out there (RC8, 808, 8ight, etc) that are perfectly capable of performing the same, then i'll be surprised if they even get more than 100 sales :P. Though, chances are they will, but $750 for a buggy kit ALONE is just absolutely ridiculous.

Is $750 really out of the question? I think the price of drywall screws has about doubled recently and if its a typical MP series car it will STILL have them all over the buggy.[&:]

$750?! if they charge that then id go with the mugen since their prices are better. but no need to wait on it now because i got a 777 wc on the way. Also, i dont see what could had changed much over the WC besides the fact they might had angled the engine like OFNA did with their new hyper.

msrp around 850, actual price closer to 650. Word around the team talk is right after the manufacturs race in Idaho. I just dont remember the date of that race, just that its in Idaho, half way across the U S for me.

I'm sure this buggy will do well, in no way was I bashing on kyosho, I've owned them in the past and they are great buggys. It's just the prices of parts and thier vehicles are very high, probably due to thier consistant winning, so thats why I said overrated because a lot of it has to do with drivers. Anyways, in the near future I may have an MP9 on my workbench, It's about time they got off the 7 platform, can't wait to see how this one performs.

Amazing, no ofence to anybody, but somybody gives an idea for a price, and suddenly all the opinions on how expensive it is?????

Ussually the price difference is not that much on top of the line cars of any brand, but ussusally are criticized from those who can't afford them.

Kyosho is winning the worlds, I don't think is coincidence when you talk of so many worlds!!

Going back to what is really interesing and not what I jut said, anybody has an idea of what is new on the car??

Regards

We seen them only the front and the rear (somehow) suspension systems and it looks like Mugen's ones. As for the inside of the body, can't tell. The car is still under ciontruction i think.

I didnt see anyone complaining about the price. Kyosho is worth every penny. I see a few of us geussing at the price and we'll just have to wait and see how close we are.

Yeah, really Kyosho earn every cent. Their best cars are simply masterpieces. I just assembly the Evolva M3 some weeks ago, and i can tell from the looking is a trully remarkable car. Can't imagine how crazy will be at the track It's nice for a product to be expensive because very few can buy it and continue maintaining it I say, Kyosho all the way.

Kyosho is the most overrated brand out there, only reason Kyosho is so d_mn hyped is that theyve branded (can afford) good drivers.

The driver does 90% of the work, 10% at the absolute most, is in the car .

Kyosho makes a good car,but their reign is going to end now with all the good buggys out there.For so many years the Mugen cars were the only thing that was competative in 1/8 buggy against the Kyosho,and Mugen usually only had 1 or 2 cars out there compared to Kyoshos 8-10 buggys. Now with about 6 or so buggys that are top notch,and good drivers spread all over the brands, it is going to be almost impossible for 1 brand to dominate like Kyosho did for so long. Kyosho is a good car,but parts support is horriable,since they split from Great Planes, my LHS deals with Great Planes/Horizon,and to get Kyosho parts he has to submit a minimum order,which means he has to buy kits he will have a hard time selling. Kyosho also makes it hard for the LHS to compete by only giving a bigger discount on a "case" or MP777's so unless the LHS takes a case of them,they can't compete with internet prices. Parts are expensive also,compared to other brands. If it is some earth shattering design that works well I will still buy one,but I doubt it will be a lot different than everything else out now.
