Hey guys how does the kyosho v one s compare to the electric hpi sprint flux 2 i think. He is going to buy a seccond hand kyosho tomorrow and wants me to come along what should i look for said the pull starter is a little loose i know a bit with nitros except for belt driven types lol any advice would be greatly appreciated also is asking for $200 seems fair i think

Your buddy needs to decide if he wants a nitro engine or electric. Nitro engines require dedication to learn how to tune and sometimes they are a little "temperamental". Electric is push a button and go. As far as comparing them, I can't do that because I've never had an electric car. As far as quality, I would say it's the Kyosho. Price of $200? It has to be in excellent condition and $200 is pushing it on the price. It cost $500 new but it's not new now. For that amount, the engine has to be in excellent condition or you're going to spend more $$$ getting a new engine or a pinch on the sleeve. Tell the dude to start it and see it run. Parts for all Kyosho's are expensive compared to other popular brands. And some parts you might have to order from over seas. If it runs good, tell him $150 and go from there.

If it comes with all that stuff and it runs ok, it's worth the price. A while back, I sold a Kyosho V one R and got $150 for just the car and nothing else included.
