Kyosho ZX5 RTR. Great News for 4WD
4wd Buggies seem to be making a boom with more and more 4wd buggies coming out 
Kyosho is about to bring out a 4WD buggy RTR based on their ZX-5 Kit. Be great for this class.
Aparantly being such a new kit, full specs aren't out yet but it has Plastic shocks to make the price cheaper and all ZX-5 aftermarket parts (carbon fibre etc.) will fit so you can upgrade as you go
Cheers

There's already at least one thread about this car...
Use the "Search" function of RCTech.

There aren't any threads about the RTR.
It will be intesting to see how this buggy fares. I don't know how well it will work as a bridge into 4wd racing since most 4wd is run with mod motors, so many upgrades will be needed to make the buggy competitive at all. The big issue I'm sure though will be durability. Either way if it can increase the popularity of 4wd its good! It would be nice if it included an ESC that could handle a 12t motor, but I highly doubt that will happen. Still the buggy it self doesn't look much different than the kit version, which is good.

I really don't think too many upgrades will need needed on the buggy to start off 4wd racing even if you do mod. Mainly durability enhancements if needed and the oneway setup if it works on the track.
Hopefully MRC will think about making an RTR version of the SB V2. Would be nice to see that start to become common place for 4wd electric. It would be really cool if Losi also did a brushless RTR XXX-4 or XX4.

Kyosho RTR's are more prone to breaking because they use either the 7.5 chassis as a base and/or they use crappy materials.
Edit: Why the hell did I write this?
