mmmmm exciting. The only real bummer is that you'll never be competitive with a shafty in any sort of big competition nowadays, unless it's a really good one. Guys like Gimbal and RX have pulled it off but I don't see a big shafty come back on the horizon. That being said I don't see a ton of people fun crawling supers anymore ... seems like kind of a nill market at the moment. I hope it picks up though, that rig is cool as hell. If it had some clod style axles built like twin force axles with typical Kyosho quality I'd be super excited.  |

Maybe the Super Class will split if the shafty can't hang....

Highmark, I agree with you on supers not being competitive with shafts. The only way I can see the the Kyosho being competitive is if one of those servos in the chassis used as a sort of drake/disconnect. Now that would be cool!

On the name card, after it says "Hi, Low" it says "rear drive cut". And it also says that it has a disk brake, so I'd guess it has rear disconnect.

No matter what I am excited to see everyone paying more attention. I just hope they don't run away if a super sized rig is a huge flop (in return investment to the company). 2.2 would probably be a different story. | |

i dont like the all wheel steer to many servos to burn and replace plus you would need a 5 ch radio  |

If the 14" WB thing takes off maybe we can split the Super class into 2 classes that run on the same courses. In a 14" class a shafty is most definitely competitive. |

 It's just a matter of hooking things up to your preference. I don't like full time 4WS either. Thats why you hook the rear servo into the 3rd channle.There's no more servo's on this rig controlling steering than my super,my sons super or anyone else in ETRC for that matter. One servo per axle is all thats there for the steering. The servo's in the chassis are for controling the other options. There's guys out there that run 6 channle radio's Quote:

RTR really? Interesting, well I still want one! RCP, is it designed around a standard 6 cell sub-c battery pack? It's ok if you cannot disclose, I understand. |

Ahhh... they have had a few back in the late '80s and early '90s. I own at least one of them still, the Maxxum. A Front Wheel drive off-road buggy was a big flop  Yet I love the car.Why do so many people have to speculate so much on the rig? You only have a handfull of pictures to look at an none of them give you much information. I just don't understand the purpose of it. It has been said but, if Kyosho builds it... it will be of high quality. And from a personal stand point... Out of the larger RC manufactures(Kyosho, Traxxas, Tamiya, AE, Losi, etc..), I'd rather have a new RC Crawler come from Kyosho than any of the other folks. Why? Quality and toughness. | |

I want kyosho to build a 2.2 with 8mm shafts all the way through. Im tired of being afraid to push my 2.2 like I do my twin force.

This looks like a pretty killer rig. The whole set up looks fun to drive, 14"WB with XLs and shaft driven, im diggin it. Plus the whole sideplates with alum tub style skid morhed into looking like a tuber is sweet.

Wonder now if Hi-low is referred to a 2 speed tranny or to the ride height, but anyway with rear disc braked disconnect and the ride height winches, tuber-looking frame, 4ws and serious 4 link, possibly the helical cut R&P from Mad RTR, all from a bone stock factory model, well... this will be a badass crawler, like no other kit or rtr on the market at the moment. And you talking about US rules, ok you have those. But think for a moment how many other countries are out there warmly welcoming a model like that! To the guys saing this is a half baked revamping of a Twin, or similar phrases, think a few years ago, when Jugg and Jugg2 were selling, and then TXT first images started to circulate on the net. Sure there some people had nothing but rants about it. But seeing from now, would you say TXT was a flop fro Tamiya, even if it sportet just a revamped Jugg axle and some factory alu cage frame and 4 links? For me, Kyosho deserves a big applause just for thinking in our direction. That's a good news for everybody loving RC rockcrawling. Just my 2 cents Alessandro from Italy | |
