Must be some kind of clearence...or they sat on the shelves long enough. I see some older discontinued stuff go for prices like that. They are nice cars, but even at those prices, it's no wonder 1/8th scale cars aren't more plentiful, at least around here...
However, at the performance levels these cars are running, I prolly wouldn't like to see kids around town trying to drive them unsupervised. I have recently been witness to a couple cars that have been "mis-used" so I'm a little biased. Don't get me wrong, I love introducing people to the hobby, but I usually suggest a 1/10 RTR for the noobs checking out raceday for the first time. The mall is right there, so we get a broad-range exposure.(people will pull up near and park for 20 minutes or more just watching)
If Kyosho keeps the car supported(parts), and somehow they're going that cheap, they may get a little more plentiful...

I have both (Evolva & XR8). Unfortunately, I have not driven the XR8 yet. I hope to run them both at the first Midwest series event of the season. My only complaint so far, is the small size rx pack! AAA's suck.

I've seen that many times. THose guys seem like beginners or advance 8th drivers. I know they can go faster than that. However they could just be messin around though. I'm not going 8th only due to the cost.

1/10 racer checking on 1/8 scale.......
Hi guys,
I've been racing 1/10 scale for a while, but I've been watching this thread for a while. Maybe I have a taste for 1/8, but I'd like to find out more info. Is there a website dedicated to 1/8?
The price for XR8 seems unbelievable, considering that it's almost what I paid for my 1/10 NTC3.
Thanks
