wow, why get so upset over nothing at all? if he thinks that the arms are pathetic thats his opinion, and you or probably anybody else on this forum can change that. and in this case we can clearly see that you are the one who got butt-hurt over this not him.......grow up........

Listen, if I want to hear everyones opinions, I will give them to you.

If we all went watching what we said, we wouldn't get much said. Kyosho holds their models to a pretty high standard and I would be very surprised if the arms were not meant to handle the abuse the truck can provide. If you have never driven a Kyosho truck, I wouldn't expect you to understand that.

How about we just consider the a-arms innocent until proven guilty in a court of heavy bashing?

Soothsayerman

Yeah it doesn't look that great to me and the shock mounts being on the front of the a-arms down by the ground seems like a really poor choice.

But as said, it is a kyosho and they make a quality product so I have a hard time believing it would be crap. But looking at it, I'm not impressed in the least. But it is a kyosho. But doesn't look impressive, but it is a kyosho, but......

Someone will have to buy one and give us the straight poop.

Easy there turbo... I'm also welcome to an opinion, and mine is that those types of statements are, well... immature. I don't know why you assume that I'm upset. There's nothing I've seen posted on any forum that could ever inspire any anger - just laughter and a sarcastic response. But hey, if you're an angry and unhappy person, then I can easily see how you could "read" it that way. It's funny how many different emotions can be read into the same sentence, depending on the person reading it. I'm guessing that based on your comments, you're a pretty agro kind of guy - not too mature either.

Dale, you inspire me! Thank you for demonstrating that there ARE still some reasonable people left on the internet. What a concept... wait until your try it before offering a STATEMENT about its quality, durability, etc.

looks like a nice truck,but why 1/10?

TimJ

LOL, what may people don't know is Kyosho had an electric starting system (touch start) before the "easy start" was a thought..

Did anyone see the pictures of the MFR getting 9 feet of air, and landing flat, in R/C Car magazine? Judging from the pictures, it does not look like the truck broke on landing.

HerrSavage

Never had a Kyosho truck, but my Kyosho onroader has been just stupidly reliable and tough("tough"?, you say, for an onroader?? Trust me, it's had numerous spectacular crashes..)) Temps fairly often in the 390's(I think the engine is melted to the chassis...), and it still runs - with a pullstart!!(never a prob either..)

It's a nice looking truck, anyway...

schlags62

Do you think the 18 is strong enough and reliable? I have not had one so I dont have any ideas either way?

rcnitrohead

Well it weighs 2lbs less than a T-maxx/Revo. Comparing 7-9lbs (I think, please correct if I'm wrong), an .18 should have no problem at all skooting this truck around.[8D]

ThermalRD

In my experience with them, Kyosho RTR motors have run good. Atleast my Madforce was fantastic. Nitrohead is dead on about the motor. Its all about power to weight. And this truck has that in its favor. It'll get even lighter with racing wheels/tires, as well as a forward only conversion. Assuming they'll offer one. Ditch the electric start thing, and you'll shave even more weight...

Snaut Rocket

any one know what retail will be on this.

ThermalRD

Not sure on MSRP, but street price is just over 300...

rcnitrohead

I think this truck just might be a hit... Shoudl be interesting[8D] Tom.

schlags62

They are still talking Sept for release?

ThermalRD

Yup, im told Sept.
