Dave,
Sorry to hear you are not happy with parts supply.
I wish i could say that there are plenty of shops where you can go and buy parts for any of the 1/8th cars. but the fact is there are no shops doing this job fully anymore.
Its not just Kyosho its all brands.
Its very sad but look around all the race shops and many good model shops are closing. we discovered that most of the drivers that race at national level are getting direct from the suppliers. so what is the incentitive for a shop to stock such products?.
This expalins a lot why you dont see as many Kyosho cars at nationals as we would like due to us being a traditional supplier to the shops.
We are working on this especially at EP level where we not only great cars but at a good price compared to the market average.
There is some good news that a few shops are stocking well Lazer and Ultima Kits and Parts like PBM JE Spares and DMS. we are trying very hard to expand that.
I wish you good luck with Mugen its a good car but im not sure the parts supply would be different than any other manufacture out there in this class.
Just bear in mind we have the parts that we can send to any shop in 2 days.
