plus it's always the logical step for a manufacturer to release a fully hopped up jobber before the new car comes out. this attracts the hardcore guys to a new car and squeezes the last cent from them and also attracts what marketers call the "late adopters" the people who don't buy anything until the fad has ended. this way you have the maximum amount of people trying your product which creates a pool of future buyers (and hopefully brand loyal users) for your new version!
also known as the "bell curve theory"

on the above link the fk kit is shown with a bag is this the latest version? or do they all come with the carry bag? i was told by another FK owner that his version had a different shock tower compared to someone who bought a kit just before they sold out.

I bought mine from SpeedtechRC just after the introduction of RC America and the customs debarcle that caused the hold up, but I got the old 3 hole front shock tower in my kit. Some people reported to get the new 4 hole front carpet shock tower with thier kits around the same time.
I wish it came with a bag, none of the FK's did unless you bought one extra at the time as far as i know..

Of Course the rumour is true
X-ray is a very good marketing company. Of course they will release a new car this year, just like the have done early in every year for the last three years. They want enthusiasts like us to always want to have a new model to lust for and go and spend our cash on. Tamiya uses a very similar marketing strategy and upgrade their models every year.
Questions on X-rays supply were posted in this forum late in 2003 when there was no supply of the T1 EVO2. Guess what ..... they released the factory kit soon afterwards.

And you might not be able to get one then either, but just wait see any way

Well all companies try and develop new things but the fk has only been out for 6 months. and there not as radical as tamiya in releasing cars.
Look at the new cars they try them at big races before releasing them its common sense to make sure it competes with the rest. Xray have not done this yet.
Thomas i dont happen to hunt your posts i just happen to come past the shit you SOMETIMES post just think a little more careful before you post what you do majority of the time its ridiculous thomas made up theories. on the same line you do post some good things sometimes.

these "best of the best" type cars always come out before a new car release. i'm still gonna get a xrayFUK but i'm still putting my money on a new car.
where am i gonna get the xray? i'm getting it from the us. reason being i'm guessing all the stock will head out there first to fill up the shelves of the new distributers there...plus i think i can scab a free T-shirt. it says so on the rc america site
CHEAP B*****D!

BMI CHASSIS BAULK ORDER!!!
i'm placing a order for a bmi chassis and top deck for the FUKit along with a few other carbon parts (bumper brace, batt supports and front and rear thick shock towers)
you can get a inscription of your choice on the top deck for 50cents US per letter. eg: "associated is dead"
if anyone wants to do a baulk order for a chassis or any other parts PM me.

WOT DA FUK IT
Thomas, why don't you try running the car in standard kit form with the standard setup before you waste your money.
But then again, all the mod parts will keep you doing stock times at EC and every one will be happy
