I'm not French I'm from Barnsley really, I managed to fool you all these years Bond.

More seriously, the FS looks good, certainly an improvement over the SP otherwise they wouldn't have released it. Regarding the lack of c/f chassis and parts, look at how much a lazer is compared to the rest of the cars, and you will have the answer. I would personally rather have a cheap plastic tub from kyosho than a pandora's box from schuey at a small fortune...

JonBoy ..... accepted ...... it's not your fault that there are 21 miles separating you from a proper language (joking before the row starts).

Richard, your right about that thumb .... something I am working on a lot at the moment but after 10 years of stock before ever touching a mod (and ran stock along side mod right up till the early 2000s) then 3 years of rallycross have not helped much in that respect. This is the first year since the B4 came out that I've run a 2wd car and brushless is a step too far for me at the moment so going back to brushed in 2wd for the feel.

Anyway, back on topic .......... would be great to see some of the country's fastest guys with the cars at Nationals and beyond.

Karl .... great to see you on the forum, heard you had joined Kyosho UK which can only be good for all of us.

Neil, will Kyosho UK be holding stock now or is it the same situation as before with everything coming over from France?

What did jonboy mean then if he did not mean the car was not good enough.

Its a bit of an unfortunate translation error if you ask me

Jon- do you need a bigger spade mate?

I think knowing Jean, he meant that the car wasn't developed enough to be competitive on at pro level. Which is understandable as this was the first new off road car since the Kyosho Lazer ZXR, and it was designed to be and on road touring car as well.

As you have seen since 2005 Kyosho have already made some revisions to the stallion tc as it has grown it team to develope it. now that kyosho have Gil Losi jr they can futher develope their rc car range that why the ne w fs has come out to adress the issues of the lazer sp.

I think this car was done to get a toe hold in market so that it would buy them time to developed the chassis to a pro level. i know Tamiya didn't do this with the 501x but that because it is a clone of the bj4. As well Tamiya also spending a lot more cash on RD on it because they have the drivers and resources(TRF).

Note i don't own a 501x or a Kyosho so a can't comment how good or bad they are but i do know Jean and Fab

a crappy b4 driver

BTW Mike and I are have been playing with some AP.(aerial photography)

We just come back from our local field. A second video is uploading onto you tube now so check it out later tonight.It is me trying to catch his glider with my f-16.
Did not do a good job though as i was scared of hitting him.
You have to look carefully to see.
still it shows we dont just make cars at Kyosho

I think you'll find the 501x looks alot more of a Yokomo BX clone
