Multiple Upgrade Paths are Good!
Agree with Roger. If you own Car A, you can buy an upgrade kit to Car B, or you can buy parts piecemeal or you can buy Car B and use Car A as a spare or cannibalise for spare parts. Your choice will depend on available funds and how necessary you deem the upgrades.
I have a std zx5, which I hope will make a guest appearance at Batley or Bury before the season is out, but family commitments preclude regular racing for the next few years. I won't bother with SP hop ups, why would I? By the time they can make a difference to my racing, Kyosho will have released a zx-8 sp9 or something. I'll spend my money on a brushless combo and some bits and bobs to tweak the setup to help me remember how to setup a car and get a handle on the latest technology.
As a Lazer owner you have 3 choices to upgrade (or 4 if like me you choose to do nothing) which if you are selling your products to seasoned racers, newbies and everyone in between, is a sensible part of a business model. Now the politics is done with.... couple of questions:
Will the new saddle conversion simply be a chassis/bulkhead swap, or are there other changes too (i.e. geometry) to make best use of the change in balance? Will Kyosho include or make available proper seating for saddle-pack lipos rather than just nimh?
