I saw a guy at 1 of my local tracks 1 day with 1 and he did well. He TQed 1 of the quals and he told me it was designed for Europe but thicker center diff oil and shock oils than suggested in the manual is all you need. He was launching that car off the triples and it didntget out of shape when I thought it would. If they get popular over here I may even try 1. I would like to see bigger bore shocks with dust boots though and whats up with those tires in the kit LOL.
Funny detail is how the name was found. I was based one a contest launched by Medial Pro in France long time ago. They did publish the tyre but without a name, the contest was to find a decent name for them. And the winning name was "Adheris" which is a reference to adhesion.
If I would have to buy some tyre right I would buy some 6MIk, I have heard they are designed by some people that worked for medial pro

Here the tirechart from an old box (medial pro used to be produce in France, now owned by a HK compagny)

Yes from at I have seen on video tracks here and over there are way different so I can see the need for different tires. But if Ishima brings their car to the US which I would welcome it, but they should consider including some different treads for US style tracks. Maybe make a US kit and a Euro kit or something.

good going for the Ishima.
With JQ's deal with himoto no more getting involved with Ishima is a good idea.
Mikey Chen of Casterracing ran the new ZX-1.5R at teh event and 1 other driver.

Some information about the race from Raphael on a French forum. (to resume)
JQ didn't make it because motor wheel was too large resulting motor flame out on big jump.
Romain did brake a steering servo horn 10 minutes before the end due to an "ejection" after being hit by a chinese car.
Driving level was high
The end of the race was tight for Raphael because his RX pack was almost empty.
Overall result are promising with 3 ishima in top 5 for Qualification and 3 of them in finale including one 2nd place on the podium
No problem on the car for that race
JQ found the car very easy and very fast.

I hate to pass judgment without have actually driven one, but watch this video and look at the way the front end bounces every time it lands flat..
In Europe that may be something you can adjust to, given that it could be more stable with nice rotation in the corners, but it wouldn't cut it on any of the national caliber tracks here.
That being said, I am glad that new innovative car designs are being tried, and hope that another large manufacturer can make a break in to the US buggy market.

@ auto style
I have just done rough translation/resume, my interpretation might be wrong, nothing personnal
Orginal sentence
"Romain était 3 jusqu'à 10 minutes de la fin et sont palonnier de servo à cassé suite à un petit chinois qui la éjecter....."
@Seyruuen
I've notice that too, very odd behaviour indeed, look like it behave like a car with hard spring and empty shock
