howdy gang, been a while!
in my experience, kyosho have had a reputation for producing quality products at enormous prices and with minimal support. i have no idea where to buy genuine kyosho products anymore.
it's almost as if they want to keep kyosho customers as part of an elitist club. i think me, ph2t and oldtamiyaphile are the only australians that have heard of dnano's.
it would be easier (and cheaper) to find an epoch and convert it to miniz electrics than to buy a dnano, which i have done. i don't care how good dnano's are, their exclusivity has put me off them for good.
as bad as kyosho are on this topic, i think ht have missed a big opportunity by not going with the entire track/parts/readysets deal (whether it was their fault or kyosho's).
i'm fortunate enough to have a dedicated 1:28 track and shop within walking distance of my house. the track is one of those iwaver "imat" tracks (rcp ripoff), they have a dedicated pc based lap counter/transponder setup.
the shop is a fully stocked iwaver dealer with readysets, upgrade parts (both iwaver and atomic) as well as all other scale rc's.
i've only been going there for about 6 months now and have already spent around $500 on rc's there. and that's not including track time fees.
so not only have kyosho shot themselves in the foot, they're robbing ht stores of an opportunity to find new markets.
shame kyosho, shame.
