Plus, how long does it take to bring a simple radio tray update to market? Parts support leaves something to be desired. Team guys give good support on all 3 of these cars, but in the case of the Losi and the Kyosho, you can drive the same car as the team guys.
I always get a kick out of reading how the Losi wears. Mine is almost a year old and I just replaced the arms on it. I have not broke one single part on the car all year and we pretty much run 52 weeks a year here. I just ordered a chassis for the car this morning.
Let's take a look at the Kyosho which is no question a fantastic car. They break and cost money to fix. So as the year goes replacing broken parts will outweigh the cost of keeping your Losi fresh.
Either way these threads are pissing matches between who runs what. He never asked about a Serpent or the HB. If I were to run one of those 2 it would be the HB though as support for the Serpent around these parts is non existent. Same goes for the Kyosho these days. I don't know anyone that has one around here anymore.
