Hi Jez,
Hope you are well, the price increase is not easy given the current climate, but we priced our kits the day before the new year, so we are as up to date as we can be with our price.
I expect to see more increases on the way from other distributors as there early change/increase was before we lost another 15-20% on the rate.
Everything will balance out over time, and we are working hard to keep it as lean as we can.
I understand all Kyosho race cars are designed and made in Japan, so cost for material and labour is more expensive. Maybe long term Kyosho may look at moving production to other countries, but to be honest, they will not take the risk unless 110% confident in the outcome.
If the latest 4wd cars are around £350 now, you will see all 2wd kits moving up, either now or when the new model comes along.
Keep in touch
Regards
Karl
