So don't sit there and say it's better quality because of it's price. But hell Xray quality is by far the best but they don't cost as much as kyosho



lol.. try maken a living with crafts man tools.

The MP9 has a better overall fit & finish because of the selection and amount of quality parts Kanai has put into it. Xray is up there however the amount of quality parts and choice of materials designed for the standard MP9 far exceeds the 808. Let's not forget that it comes with top notch AKA inserts and tires as well.

Do smartass all day long all my the hand wrenches and chrome sockets are craftman. I've broken 5 sockets in 15 yrs unlike the snap-on stuff I have. I'm sick of waiting each week to have something fixed or replaced. They stop by once a week. Have been trading stuff in for Matco tools better stuff and cost less


I have had k cars before the price you pay don't mean it's better. Damn a Savage takes a better beating than any k-car can. The Xray is better in fitting and design over any of the k-cars I've had.

Glad to see hotbodies won with a $350 car maybe it will bring Kyosho down off their $850 high horse
A driver makes the car but the mp9 is not worth the money

Are you questioning the number of world titles they won

I am not just saying that because of the price, I have seen and looked over the MP9 before and the quality is very obvious. If you think Xray quality is better then get one.

2 ways of going about this:

OR
Land on a 2-4-1 deal and be prepared for additional costs, hours of rebuilding, replacing unnecessary pieces and upgrading poor quality parts $$$

Quality + durability are what the MP9 has over others.
re-posting for some who did not get the chance to go back a few.
