this kyosho is the car i am looking to buy...is it not a good buy?
I have both the Kyosho and the Losi6, along with the Serpent CobraGT. The Kyosho is a solid vehicle. Stock tires won't last long. Been using a set of no-name eBay road tires for 2 years now. Out the box is around 45mph. Not bad but could be better. But I've stayed with stock setup for almost 3years.
Really can't compare to the Losi6. Yeah the stock tires are beyond bad. Somebody at Losi should have been smacked upside the head for them. They claimed 6-9 runs during testing. I pushed 2 sets to get 5 and 6 runs. Then went with the 1/5 wheel adaptors. Massive improvement. Losi claims to be still testing a new tire, but it's too late. Nearly all owners I know online have gone with the 1/5 wheels.
