Well they must think they're profitable "toys" since Kyosho is coming out with their own 1:43 car.

It may be splitting hairs, but I think the kyosho cars are even a bit farther from 1:43 than epochs are. It'd be somewhat interesting to calculate what the scale is actually going to be on them. I suspect they're not all that much smaller than 1/28. 1/32 is about as low as I'd call them, those are very subcompact cars they're modeling.
'hi, I'm kyosho, I know I could sell a whole buttload of tiny cars with red ferrari bodies, but I'd prefer to sell bodies of obscure subcompacts that you probably can't pronounce.' Last edited by Reaperman93010; 05-24-2006 at 06:37 PM. |

...may be a double post...
Anyway, I agree. I don't think anyone says to themselves, "Man, someday I'm gonna own a sweet car... Like a Daihatsu." And what are the supposed great features of these things that are going to make them so expensive? I heard they are FM, big deal. If you look at those pictures, it really looks like Kyosho just studied an Epoch chassis and made their own spin on it. Defintely not worth, what, 180 bucks (?!?) when I could get another Epoch that performs as well if not better for all we know. Seriously, anyone know the deal with the "Mini-Z Lit"? Oh, and 20 bucks says when they come here they are called "Micro-Z" |

someone ran the numebrs and the lit is reported to be a 1/28 scale rc of the full size car. it just so happens that the bodies they chose for the lit are extremely small in real life.

I doubt it's a coincidence. They're probably trying to keep everything ~1/28 and needed a smaller chassis for subcompacts. I guess 'miata' is probably going to be about as cool as cars on that chassis are going to get.
I still think they look a bit small. are the wheels on the lit larger than the epoch? subcompacts have small wheels, but not epoch size. Last edited by Reaperman93010; 05-27-2006 at 10:34 PM. |

Me no I’m over a thousand miles north, however if the city manages to approve a minor rezoning request about a mile from the Santa Maria airport will be the new home of the North American distributor and one of the largest indoor raceways in the country.
