I think knowing Jean, he meant that the car wasn't developed enough to be competitive on at pro level. Which is understandable as this was the first new off road car since the Kyosho Lazer ZXR, and it was designed to be and on road touring car as well.
As you have seen since 2005 Kyosho have already made some revisions to the stallion tc as it has grown it team to develope it. now that kyosho have Gil Losi jr they can futher develope their rc car range that why the ne w fs has come out to adress the issues of the lazer sp.
I think this car was done to get a toe hold in market so that it would buy them time to developed the chassis to a pro level. i know Tamiya didn't do this with the 501x but that because it is a clone of the bj4. As well Tamiya also spending a lot more cash on RD on it because they have the drivers and resources(TRF).
Note i don't own a 501x or a Kyosho so a can't comment how good or bad they are but i do know Jean and Fab
a crappy b4 driver
