even if this truck does not conform to USA rules does that mean the rules can not be adjusted ? or that there can not be another class added ? if the demand is there ? it takes everyone as a whole to make the sport grow even more, limiting what can be done on the comp side of things will eventually hurt the sport more then help it. either way, if it is produced it will be a good addition to a crawlers fleet even if it is just for back yard crawling... |

Maybe it should of been called the area 51 crawler. Just cant seem to get any info on it. Looks pretty sweet if I do say though. Maybe just takes time to perfect something thats perfect.  |

A RTR AX10 from TCS costs from $410-$525. http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Axial-AX1...g-p-16671.html http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Axial-AX1...g-p-16539.html The Rock Force is a RTR super. So your really paying $100 more for a high quality RTR super instead of an RTR AX10. Besides , I heard it will be released around summer. | |

To get a price estimate, short of yanking it from your buttocks, you have to see cost from a distributor. If a distributor has cost information that means Kyosho has intentions of releasing it at some point. | |

| My PM to Red Jim...the truth about Japanese busines style
Here is my PM to Red Jim who asked me kindly to dig up some local facts from the RC scene in Japan... I went to do a bit of LHS shoppin tonight and asked the guys at the store bout the Kyosho crawler and they said there has been nothing about it at all in all the Japanese RC mags...I'm guessing Kysho is playing it safe , since crawling is not so huge in Japan .You see Tamiya is releasing the new one in the US first because they know where the crawler market is ...the overall business style is a guttless venture here in Japan compared to the US and (my country) Australia ...in Australia people go for it!!!if its a good business idea and it usually gets noticed if it were a good idea ...here its like people have to be 300% sure first... before they buy a new product so as long as they heard a billion others say its good they might buy the item ...hence why Tamiya is selling the new crawler first elsewhere,first kids will read that its awesome bla bla bla and will buy one after all the other guys have one too and very slowly...... So understanding the local market Kyosho is waiting for Tamiya to break the local crawling market ice with its CR-1... You see that goes hand in hand with the way the Japanese produce any goods in general...the Axial scorpion in the USA showed a great success and like always the Japanese copied the US when they smelled American money (and its safe to start to copy).Then the successful item spreads like an Australian bush fire in mid summer and thats my prediction about when the Kyosho will be sold if it ever will be sold...cheers , ..if my understanding of the predictable Japanese market is correct the Kyosho will be sold not too long after the CR-1 has had its taste of US $$$$ ....thats if it will ever be sold with its SKy High kit price Alex I had a busy Thursday and after a few beers this was my honest opinion about Japanese companies and style of doing business (I find it very dirty in a sense of being gutless and without any dignity or pride)... we westerners have always accused the Japanese of the same thing that they have done since I can remember and way before since I was only born in 1977 weather its cars or electronics and I just wanted you guys to know that its the same s##t about RC products .I live with it every ****ing day for the last 7years it has never bothered me either , except after getting fed up with it at times like this...I am not racist or pissed off at anyone I just purely want everyone to know that Japanese way of business is dirty  in RC as much as in all else |

John at RCP mentioned to me roughly a year ago that Kyosho was gearing up to release a RTR Twin Force at the time. (I'm going to assume that it was the Rock Force in devolpement.) I have faith/hope that it will be released! After all I've been waiting a damn year for this. | |
