Kyosho MP9

Kyosho MP9
Im considering buying this chassis for my 2nd car. Although I could use a Nitro car, I could transplant my electronics into a roller Kyosho MP9.
I was wondering what the plus's and cons for going with this chassis over my current Losi 8ight 2.0 would be?
THe Losi 8ight handles GREAT, but I see kyosho's mp9 winning IFMAR championships and it makes me wonder if its a better chassis I should be going with.
I looked at one today and its hubs were so beefy along with several other parts, that it made me wonder if it was a better chassis to be working with.

Well thats the thing, if I pick up a Kyosho MP9, I could race with my Losi 8ight 2.0 while I wait for parts.
Parts availability and support is a huge part of buying a car, but I figure Id just buy 2 of everything I break and be my own parts supplier instead of relying on my own RC LHS.
There is a guy around here, he looks no older than 16, and hes got a sponsorship for his Kyosho MP9. Im not as good of a driver as him but as I get better at driving, parts support isn't as crucial at keeping me on the track.
Don't get me wrong, you made a great point for why not for a novice to go with the Kyosho MP9, but if I become skilled at driving where breaking parts is a rare thing, I could probably just order 2 of everything I break and possibly bypass the LHS altogether.
Thanks for your input though, I will hold onto my Losi 8ight 2.0, regardless of what I decide.

Bump for a cool chassis without its own thread.
Id like to know what the rctech communitys' consensus is on this chassis before I purchase it.

Top notch chassis. I prefer the Mugen but Kyosho is known for their quality and the MP9 is top of the line. Part support is huge thing to consider. I would look into getting a used roller as a parts car and buy anything you break at a later time.
