I think the point that also needs to be made is that in a worlds year, the only updates Kyosho felt necessary to make to the TKI2 were basically insignificant to the handling of the car. If that doesn't speak volumes about how good the MP9 platform is, then I don't know what does. Kyosho is basically saying, we won the worlds in 2010, and we'll be the favorite to win the worlds again this year with essentially the same car. The TKI3 is literally the most refined car on the market today, meaning it's gone through 3 iterations now on the same chassis platform, not to mention what it carries over from the 777 and earlier cars - and it continues to be head and shoulders above the competition.

Exactly.
You can look at the original Inferno, (I have one new built for display), and look at the TKI3 and see the origins of the car. The Inferno was the car that everyone had to copy to beat back then, and to this day - you can see why.
Why change something for the sake of change. The TKI3 has PEDIGREE and constant results from previous iterations of the buggy going back over 20 years.......not many other manufacturers have that.
Thats why they get the extra coin for thier kits. Quality, performance and reliability also help.

only built my kit up last week and i still got to spin the axles daily just to believe how good that drive train really is, for me that was one of the selling points, the rear toe brace just weighs next to zip its so well machined, and the fit and finish is awesome I initially thought the rear arms were binding and was about to start trimming but I instead just backed the screws out the arm mounts a fraction to allow the arms to drop, I then found out it was the bushes that werent fully pushed in, after I did that the rear was perfect the slop I now had I got rid of by tightening the screws back up again 
I did ream out the arms and some of the bushes which were a bit tight but then again you would do that on any kit, on the whole very impressed by the quality

I do not need to do any reaming (other than the body). They are lose enough for me. One run and all perfect.
Did a break in on my King's Orion engine yesterday. Man, I love the sound of the engine!
The driving of the truggy is perfect too but I did the breakin on the road so didn't get to drive so much.

Let me tell yall something. I think everyone on OUR KYOSHO really want to try one but don't want to spend the $$$ for buggy. So y are they even commenting on the price. Just find other thread that is not expensive as our top quality top price thread. My .02
And the ones who getting or got really did not worry about the price. It the quality, performance of the buggy. Right OFFROAD DUDE see the light now
everyone else
I HOPE I DID NOT STEP ON ANY TOES.
OH WELL MOVE YOUR FEET THEN

TKI3
Does anyone on here know if the clutchbell issues have been adressed in some way on the TKI3 - or was those issues sorted out on later TKI2 kits?
I feel the positives of the Kyosho far outweigh the negatives for sure - but if I drop that type of coin on a new K car and I have clutch bells of all things grenading i'm gonna kick someone's ass lol!!
And yes I drove a friends one because he went from upper B to mid pack in A.
Obviously he has practiced a lot but when I drove the car i was very impressed.
in short just give me a rundown on what to expect with a K-Car - any input would be awesome.
Thanks,

Other than the initial cost for the kit what is required to have in the pit box so that you don't end a weekend early? Or how much a month is required to keep up maintanece on one of these cars? Been looking at kyosho for a while now and I am very interested.

What problem?
I was reading posts earlier in this thread where people were having to use Agama motormounts mated to MP7.5 motor mounts (upper) and drill half inch holes in the chassis etc. scary stuff really.
The it was sugested to go from 13-46 to 14-48 because the gears line up better...
Just wanted to know if this was a recent concern with K-Cars or were these issues isolated to a certain batch of kits?
