The legendary kits are the Ultima, Javelin, Optima, Turbo Optima, Scorpion, Turbo Scorpion, Beetle, and Tomahawk. Not the mini stuff or MP kits. So far we have the Turbo Scorpion. I had the Javelin as a kid and really want that one again. Grabbing an Ultima in a week or so, then waiting for...
If your wife wants one, I'd definitely get her one. That may be the thing that gets her into RC. How great would that be! 😉
But I can't help but feel my attempt to dissuade Kyosho from producing such toys with the help of my RC brethren has utterly failed if you do 😜🤣🤗
Kyosho is the only RC company I have ever seen that uses forged aluminum components. They are pretty durable, at least as far as they are designed to be enjoyed. They are racers. Not really meant for bashing.
Totally agree. I wish someone like Tekno could get ahold of the brand to keep the brand alive. If they ever go under, or get rid of the Legendary series (ugh), it would be as much a heartfelt loss as losing Ozzy Osbourne would be to me. For anyone that has never built one of the Legendary kits...
Earlier this year, I think January, it was announced that the current company took control of Kyosho. That was when they made the statement they were going to turn around Kyosho's supply problems. They just failed to mention they meant that they were going to do that by producing cheap ####ing toys.
Yeah, Japan is all about creepy looking toy dolls, which is what the company that bought Kyosho specializes in. I watched a TV show where the host was in Japan, and dropped a coin into a gumbal machine, and got a weird rubber doll outfit. He was like "why Japan?" Very strange culture 🤔
I hate...
My gripe is, rather than focusing on their supply problems for the RC stuff people are waiting on, which was the mission statement of the company that bought them out, they made the supply problem worse and are wasting time creating this garbage. I fear this is the beginning of the end for Kyosho.
I hope this post inspires everyone to go to this vid and leave a comment. I have been subscribed to Kyosho's YT channel for awhile now, and this is a sad thing that I keep seeing from them. Truely sad 😥
