Default Kyosho V-One R4 Evo

Does anyone have any information on this? I thought Kyosho dropped out of the on-road scene altogether.

Kyosho really just dropped out of the US onroad market. They are still relavent in the Asian and Euro markets. If you do get the car, you better order parts you need as well from the same source as Kyosho America probably will not support the car.

It's an evolution of the previous r4 sp.it has new lower and upper chassis with different flex characteristics.gear diffs same in dimensions as r4 sp BUT is manufacturing from other source in different way=cheaper in the end and stronger.
New shock coating.
And that's it.

I must add that will have new front and rear hubs that now can take aero carbon disks.

There was 1 r4 that ran the super regionals at Floyd Bennett field recently. The car looked great, the guy running looked to be a new face around Floyd but some more time with the car he will definitely have it up to speed. My first car was a V one RRR wc, which I still have, and loved it. Would've gotten the r4 if there was any kind of support in NY or anywhere in the states for that matter. Other thing that stopped me was the $750 price tag. I'm still trying to get my NT1 to steer the way my RRR did.

Wasn't planning on upgrading. Not fast enough yet, just an old Kyosho fan is all!

Recent convert to the R4 from a long stint with the awesome RRR. I really like the look of this car. Kyosho catching up with the other manufactures. Just need them to start to innovate again. Hopefully will see some big drivers and the like winning with this car in the future. I have hope that Kyosho will be back to dominance in the on-road 1/10th scale.

Has anyone run one of these yet? A mate just bought one, and I'm interested to see people's thoughts on it. Thinking of an upgrade to my 2012 spec NT1.
