Default Kyosho News

News from H. Thern: Car looks very good, but it is difficult to determine how fast it is. Greg Degani and Linus Thern had the best lap times today, driving K3s.

Will the new name be Mp 7.7 ?

uDi is here to save the day?

http://www.kyosho.co.jp/topics/new/buggy/20040408.html





personally i'm not too impressed, it might as well be another Kanai because it's just as similar. Hope they release a conversion kit, because I sure ain't buying a new kit to get that!

MP7.7? more like MP7.5000001
ha ha

ahh okay.

but then what is that buggy up there? it's not a K3, it has different/new upper arms, new sideguards, new bumper, pipe stinger holder, and a few other revised things by the looks. So what is it?

hey lineburner, you still got that pro? ive got my heart set on it so lmk when your back home or whatever and i'll ring ya and arrange something.

went racing on this new track up here the other day (just messing around practising with some friends), had a lot of fun. It's pretty small but not bad, you could open up on the straights and some of the wider turns pretty well.

nowhere near as big as that nitrobuggies track down your way though. but still tracks a track and finally somewhere to race up here
