I forgot to say. The newest K 021s are FT shocks but they have the bleeder caps and that's surely an improvement..
Yes, we pride ourselves on being a no holds barred, speed before all else company. But you have to buy the Kits. If you don't we're not a company of any type for long. As Darren says, how much are you willing to pay?
We could build the K 021 with Losi shocks and a retail price of about $399 (a bit less than 300 pounds with taxes, etc.) for a two-wheel buggy. We think $349 is all the traffic will bear, and in the U.S. we get considerable resistance to $349. We worked very hard to hold the price at $299, but it just could not happen.
So, yes, there is an element of cost/price that every manufacturer of anything must realize. Most of us are not Saudi princes, so price is, indeed, a concern to all, even for a no holds barred race car.
I'll tell you what: If you want a K 021 with Losi shocks, see Darren. Darren and I will get together (We talk on the phone twice a week.) and figure out a price. Give him a non-refundable deposit, and we'll make you one. You'll be able to buy several different 4WD for less, but we're happy to do it for you.
