Default Kyosho Mini-Z Lit

has anyone found more information on these new micro rc's from kyosho? they look like a similar scale to epochs?
http://www.kyosho.co.jp/web/products...lit/lit-j.html

could be some good competition to the epochs if they are the same scale, could push epoch into a spec 3


it's justr a shame they don't have this information on an english site

which information are you looking for?
babelfish translates the page rather well.

Daihatsu is to be released in july
Fiat in august

100mm length, 48-52mm width. Length is right on, but it's going to be a bit wider. Wheelbase 65-78mm. Wheels are going to be located closer to the ends. 'Real' cars on this chassis are going to be larger than epochs.

15 min charges, 10 min run time
servo saver,
fm radio

They retail at $185 and are FM. At that price no one will buy any, possibly excepting some diehards. If it has a ball diff option I will get one. Mostly I'm hoping the ball diff equipped motor pod could be swapped with Epochs.

Yea ouch. The shame is that it could be a good thing (like the balldiff), but as well as that it COULD get 3rd parties involved like atomic, 3racing etc. But not at that price imho

i guess the best case senario would be hoping for aftermarket support to get some good upgrade/modification parts

from the videos, they looked much faster than expected. almost as fast as the shotgun/turbo setup maybe it was my imagination, or the camera angle, but that looked like a pretty long table it was running on.

I'm sure that's not the stock motor running in them. must be some form of x-speed.

I also feel they were faster then expected in that movie, but without something racing beside it i guess we won't really know how fast that is.
