Kyosho feels TC is dying in the US and would focus more on offroad and entry level rtr for on-road. You can order one from over seas pay the shipping and still be way under 1K - No reason why Kyosho would be more...

We had a lot of sponsored drivers locally that dropped Kyosho and went Losi, etc. for off road. The major reason was parts availablitly. Kyosho is no where near where it once was in that respect. Tower Hobbies was always the largest supplier of Kyosho and then just stopped...
