Interesting thread.............

Good to see the "Kyosho Crew" on here, Neil chomping on Nachos, Karl getting hooked on oOple surfing and "FDL" Jean digging himself a bomb hole!! Interesting to see Mike not here, he must be on the sunbed again (eh Neil ... private joke), but I know he is aware of this thread since we spoke about it yesterday.

Kyosho do offer team drives to any shop who wishes to sponsor a local driver or two, but as already said they would prefer to get both cars up to speed, competative and sign up so "superstars" before they make a big push. Things dont happen overnight and as I think Marc Knight said they missed the start of this season so next season will be the aim for them.

As far as some of the earlier comments about not being able to get the spares, we have had large stocks of most of the Lazer ZX5 and Ultimas RB5 ones all on the shelf since the days the cars were released. We have had very few parts ever out of stock and they always arrive in quick fashion from Kyosho UK from the french distributor (in fact some fo their deliveries are quicker than some of the UK based suppliers are at present!!)

Kyosho UK are not doing a great deal wrong, they are also expanding their products lines with BIG name brands too and giving a good back up and service along the way. They just cant run before they have mastered the art walking.
