Well, I have since taken a look at the Kyosho Japan website and YES, an FS Kit is due for release there in December.

Also, a new Readyset with Orion LiPo and Brushless power. Pics are small so I can't tell whether this budget ESC is sensored or sensorless.

Now I will quite happily whore myself out for some in-depth product testing if Kyosho would like to send me an FS FOC.
