OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I may have to add to the stable of K-Rides. Although the HPI brand is a favorite at my house as well.

The CRT just looks so bad ass and sexy in pictures where-as the K-STR just looks like a big buggy. I mean, they all look like buggies in some respect but out of the three the Kyosho looks the most Buggy-ish. Not that this is a bad thing, just would have expected them to come out with a new rig (as the other manufacturers have) not just a bigger version of an existing one.

I have not seen any "real" upclose pictures of the LST. Only the stuff on the website and I never trust manufacturers pictures. Just cynical I guess. I happen to stop by the old LHS after being mia for over a year and it seems alot of people are running the STRs there. Saw 5 on the shelves and 4 in for repair. (most of their customers, it seems, pay them to wrench on their rides for them) I was trying to get a moment alone with the owner to talk to him about parts availability and such but he was swamped, good for him I guess. He has always been a BIG Kyosho supporter and I saw TONS of red and white colored baggies all over the walls. Had a Hellfire in peices and a ton of Ofna Buggies in various stages of repair (he must be making a killing off his $25/hour shop rates) but Kyosho seemed to be king there.

The hellfire is a big flop. If your gonna race go a different route.

I thought its bad to run the fuel lines around the engine, I heard hot fuel leans the engine out...

I heard that the 528's are only good for tearing up diff gears in the kyosho's.
