At last someone sees the point. While we can all have an opinion on what we feel the retail price should be, it is ,after all, only an opion!
Many of the comments seem to be from non Kyosho owners. Fine.
We all race to a budget, just like F1. It is just that some have bigger budgets than others. Me. Well. Currently if you cut me in half, it would say Kyosho all the way through, with a big bit of Rudebits added. Don't get me wrong, I have no commercial interest here. I am an RC and Technology fan, so appreciate well engineered kit. Do I have a ZX5-FS2? Yes.Do I have an MP9? Yes. Do I have an RB5 Vega.? Yes. Do i have a DB-1? Damn right I do. Will I be selling the DB-1 or Vega? Most definitely not. Will I be buying an RB6? Probably not. Not because I cannot. Just don't need one. Like everything in life. You pay your money and take your choice. Oh and by the way (Roger), I am currently considering the purchase of an Audi. Much prefer it to the Kia. Nothing to do with price. Just prefer it, the same way I prefer Kyosho to any others. I will happily pay the price if I want it.
