Kyosho

[BigRed]

Whats going on with Kyosho? The lhs we have didnt receive and updated Kyosho listing from his distributor. Now I went onto Tower Hobbies to look some stuff up for the K3 and all kinds of parts are discontinued, I was just on there yesturday Has anybnody hurd anything?

Its possible the Trip7 2 will be made their more dominant line and the K rides will be disconitinued.

What about getting parts then? I just this pos from Ebay. The thing was completely worn out, I've already dumped $150+ in parts just to get it in racing shape. I know trip7 parts will work on the k3, but most are different.


Man i'm really getting to hate this hobbie :hammer:

 

[jon2]

You have a K3? I am sure someone here will post a site that stocks them.

Is that a No they will not carry Kypsho parts...

 

[speed buggy kanai]

great palnes has been the distributor for kyosho in the usa.kyosho is going to be there own distributor in the us thru kyosho usa.its hard to find anyone that has any kyosho parts in stock right now....i dont think tower is going to carry kyosho anymore.the kanai 3 is discontinued because of the 777

 

[vbgagnon]

Speed buggy kanai you are correct. Kyosho is going to deal directly instead of dealing with only great planes.

Is there a website link? Thanks for the info guys! We have a few guys that just got some k3 off of Ebay. I've been getting some things off Ebay. Hopefully I dont break

that sucks, I just completely rebuilt my used K2 and got it up and running for the season and I kind of found Tower Hobbies as to be a source for the K2 but obviously even parts for the 777 are found to be discontinued. Damn, they even discountinued all Kyosho wheels.....WTF.
Anyone got links to new Kyosho distributors.....please share the sources!!!!

 

[CorradoPsi]

the parts are not discontinued. thats towers way of saying they dont carry them anymore. for now ebay and hong kong will be your best sources for kyosho parts until kyosho usa is up and running in full swing. just wait it out, the parts will be back, and likely cheaper than before as well.

 

[Plaidfish]

they are not looking so hot to my LHS....they were told they didn't have any computer system to place orders through yet as of yesterday.....THat sounds pretty half assed to me.....my friend was told they are tossing the idea around.....WTF does that mean they are thinking of getting a computer system to order???????yeah they seem to be off to a good start....

lol shoulda brought a MUgen
u guys tried rc-mushroom for your parts they might have them, they normally do a wide range of kyosho stuff, might be worth a look

 

[CorradoPsi]

ultimate hobbies should also have parts, since they import from asia themselves.
