Kyosho, Something BIG is coming…

[WoodiE]

Any ideas?

i'm going to say maby something 1/5 scale since the word "big" is in all caps...

 

[HPIguy]

Ooooh :whhooo:

 

[beason]

or they are over exaggerating and its a mini 16th or 32nd scale...

either way, it sounds cool!

There was a rumor at RCX that a major player was releasing a 5th scale.

This may be it.

FINALLY - exactly what we need. While the Baja is a nice ride I'm ready for something else.

 

[robmob]

We will see.

Sadly, if it is a 5t scale, it will be pricey just like everything else Kyosho makes. Probably in the FG pricing territory.

 

[neobart]

FG's are the cheapest of the quality 1/5 scale makes.

 

[robmob]

Depends on which FG.

Any 5th scale Kyosho may come out with will probably cost double an HPI Baja. That's if it's 2WD. If it's 4WD, it may even be triple.

I think we may be looking at the wrong scale. They have been promoting the dNano cars for a while and are supposed to be releasing some new ones.....

Just speculation at this point based on the emphasis on the word BIG.

 

[sweetdiesel]

If they would increase their parts distribution and lower their pricing that would be BIG.

Agreed! I had a few kyosho rigs and they were great but getting parts for them was a PITA!

Just speculation at this point based on the emphasis on the word BIG.

Also the fact that they choose to announce on 5/1. Reverse the numbers and what do you get?

This would not be the first time Kyosho released a fuelie. Anybody remember the Kyosho ARC buggy?

 

[robmob]

I'm talking to myself here, but I don't care.

I am going to hang my hat on Kyosho coming out with a 5th scale short course gasser.

They used to have a large scale rally car back in the day. It would not take much to work off that design and make a short course.

 

[Rolex]

Possibly a MONSTROUS Monster Truck? Size matters!

 

[flm_savage]

1/5 diecast model is my guess

There's their BIG announcement.

 

[robmob]

Nothing but Hype, seems to be the BIG thing with rc companies these days.
