the 7.5 in its various guises was with us for nearly 4 years so i wouldn't be too worried about comitting to a 777
The 777 isn't a new line, it is very much so part of the 7.5 line. The only reason that car was created was to celebrate the 7th Kyosho win that didn't happen. Kyosho sales are obvious declining due to the near-perfection of the original 7.5 forcing them to come up with the marketing themes for new buggies. The 777 was contengency plan for the Kanai III, they didn't make their quota for that buggy. The net price of the Kanai III dropped almost $200 in three months and thats not good. The 777 was suppose to be introduced as an $800 kit to the US, and thats definately not happening now. Without a big marketing scheme they can't make money, as my marketing professor stated "it's not the steak that sells, it's the sizzle". All of their cars are great cars but when you buy kyosho for $700-$800 you'd want to be able to sell it in a year for at least a 60% return, you can't with Kyosho due to their marketing. It helps them, but burns you. I suggest you buy a good car and don't buy another one until a company can prove without a reasonable doubt that their new car can improve your lap times, which Kyosho is not doing right now.
