Does anyone here own one? anything to take note off?
How about another RTR from kyosho?
i kinda noticed that the V-ONE SIII is cheaper then the FW-06 by $10 @ my LHS. which would be a better set?
thanks again!
Not sure about a plastic chassis in a nitro car. I think it should be aluminum. If I had to choose between the two, I may lean slightly to the V1SIII, only because it may be easier to find drivetrain parts and another pipe if you smash it. However, if your LHS stocks parts for both, then go with whichever you like better. Compare both kits and make your choice from there. I think they both come with 2 speed trannys, but if it's an older kit, it may only have a single speed (I can't quite remember).
