For the $620 I paid for just the kit, I expected better.
- E-clips should've been phased out by now.
- Self-tapping philips screws? Come-on Kyosho.. it doesn't cost THAT much to switch over to countersunk f/h allen screws.
- Plastic formulation not as robust as others.
- I solid rear torque rod would've been better
- toe-in plates could've been built better to last longer
- Front upper plates in plastic (K3 was metal).
- Rear toe-in plates in plastic (ok if the kit was priced maybe $500, not above $600)
As much as i love the K cars, I've always wondered why people put up with the above, as well as a few other little PITA querks for so long.
Hopefully the advent of the XB8, the recent thrashing at the hands of the MBX5, and the plethora of Kyosho faithfull jumping ship will spur them to be a bit more attentive to customer feedback......... Nah!!
