| We show pics of our parts when they are still in the design stages. We are NOT Kyosho and we WILL abide by their wishes. Don't shoot the messenger. |

i may have been miss leading. im not mad at you guys, im frustrated at kyosho. even a simple "hey folks weve got a new rock crawler chassis on the horizon" press release would have been a start. maybe even a sketch/rendering attached with it.

my 2 cents, if anyone gives a crap- when i first saw the pics of the kyosho crawler in this post, i knew it was nowhere near a finished, ready for the shelves product. if you have ever been to the detroit auto show, or henry ford museum, you will see hundreds of concept cars/prototypes that will NEVER see the light of day. does that mean that manufacturers should not show them at a trade show? absolutely not! that's part of what trade shows are for. to show the public that you are working on new ideas and the latest trends in your field. which happens to be rock crawling for kyosho. finished or not, i'm glad they are showing what they are up to. |

and i guess you were right, above, some people understand that like we do. some assume it means they can order it now lol. ironically most of this thread has been about the axles, but my favorite part of the truck is actually the center section/ main chassis. i really like what theyve done there. functional, and very pleasing to the eye. and for rig i assumed aimed at the comp & leasuer crawler crowd. i think it has a bit of scale (moon buggy) look to it. |

If Kyosho is building something , IT WILL be good. I don't think that company has designed a flop yet. Being in with the race scene you can't deny that they are on top of the food chain. (look at there champion winnings and all there drivers.) This will turn out like the high-lift . People will see now say oo wow its cool. Then more info will be "leaked" and some people will say wow that is a lot for what I have built already . Then when it does come out , Everyone associated with the crawling world will be hooked and want to customize there own way. I don't see this contraption being released until next year the earliest. | |

The "body" does not meet either the body or the tube chassis USRCCA rules. |
