I have to disagree here. When I bought my 1/8 nitro six months ago I paid £400 for an Xray XB9 when it was only days old in the shops. To have bought a Kyosho equivalent wouldn't have given me much change from £700. That is a MEGA difference and one that in my opinion isn't justified.
Kyosho do make fantastic cars, my rb5 was the best car I have owned so far. It just didn't break. But even allowing for the reduced breakage I still carried spare
Wishbones, shock towers etc just in case so it still hit me in the pocket. And as for the cost of big bore springs....
I'm not Kyosho bashing as I love the cars they produce but they are too expensive in my opinion.
