Jim .... I will try to do that tonight!

It seems MicroTech have done what a few others have and copied the text directly off the Kyosho.com site which is for the SP car kit that the rest of the world are getting!!!!

The importat part of that, but you do have to read it VERY carefully not to misunderstand it is......

* Choice of three front axle configurations with one-way, ball differential or spool (rigid). One-way is sold separately.

If you ring Microtech they will tell you that it is the original car with the LAW35 and SP body and wing added, of that I am sure!!!

In the UK (and the rest of Europe that is served by FDL as an importer) is not getting the full "SP kit" until their stocks of the original ZX5 are exhausted or at least much lower.

At first that seems we are short changed but think of it this way .... you actually get to try both cars if you want, can mix and match, if your not running brushless you can run the much nicer looking original shell, you have a spare wing ....blah ... blah ... blah. In the long run I actually think we are winning considering that the front one-way will cost you 2 x £9 + 2 x £6 + 1 x £23 {all prices approx} so in total £53 it is worth getting the car the way FDL are distributing it.

I stronglt advise anybody selling a ZX5 to get an SP later in the year to keep the one-way parts back!!!


And anyway Jim ..... why are you looking at Microtech's site .... surely you'll be ordering from DC Racing anyway
