Kyosho mini crawler

[kennebell50]

I have had an SCX24 and didn't think it was all that. I notice not many on here talk about the Kyosho. Is the extra cost the barrier for most or is there something wrong with it? I really enjoy my MR03 Mini Z on my indoor track and they have been very reliable.

It looks very good Much better scale realism that the SCX24.
The body is heavy (all that scale detail) and it runs on AAA batteries. Blech.


RC Review has some great videos on it

Yeah the batteries are kind of a deal breaker for me.

Tires are crap (tread/lugs are like 1mm tall), fitting 1" tires doesn't look like it'll work as the y simply wont fir their bodies. Some of the parts are designed in an odd way so swapping and modifying it is made more difficult. I see Kyosho has released some parts like shocks, wheel hubs etc. that fill the void a bit but the SCX24 is so much more customizable at this point.
