yes they are a very good car straight from the box,as with all kyosho the component quality is very good, second to non.
yes they are getting cheeper and low stock in a few places this is because kyosho have been testing a new car for quite a while, but as yet there is no word on its release. and to be honest no real idea how good it's going to be as it's not set the world on fire when the team have used it sadly.
As with all things RC as soon as the new one is released the old cars value will plummet,so many would shy away from buying one now. Tbh I think they have created a bit of a sales disaster the minute RC racers see a new model sales of the old one will grind to a halt, photos of the new prototype have been around for months ( I think the worlds warmup was the 1st batch) and if they don't make a move soon most people will have spent there money for the coming season….and one thing you can guarantee is when it does hit the shelves it will be one of the more expensive if not the most expensive car out there
I have run a ZX5FS SP2 for the last two years,I love it but have now bought a 22-4 to try as I know when the new car does come out I will be unable to afford it
