They price thier buggies really high because, like Tamiya, they have a very strong group of customers that are VERY loyal to them and will pay the high price just because they only run Kyosho stuff. Also, from what i've heard, every since Kyosho switched US importers their customer and parts support sucks!
Competition should drive the price down, but in K's case their price has gone up. What exactly does the MP9 have that the Losi, Mugen, XRAY, and Team AE don't have? Well for some folks if they pay more it has to be better. More power to you in that case.
