Hopefully mate, fingers crossed. Doesnt the car look fantastic? This car is going to be fast!

Hmmm that looks much more like it with a proper shell on there, hope to see one soon - looking very promising.

It'll just be so good to have more then 2 2wd's to choose from, it's been that way for FAR too long now.

[Big E]

There's already more than 2

[Nick Goodall]

Doh, Sorry Ellis! What i should have said is a completely new individual 2wd car that is made entirely by someone else

Better?

[woOdy]

its been FAR TOO long that AE and LOSI have been on top. Time is about to change .

Have you heard somthing Stu with that little wink at the end of the sentance. Ze pigeons will flock over head when you least expect it.

Sorry dood nothing. What on earth does that last statement mean?

[Spencer Mulcahy]

With the wink at the end of the sentance it was very russian spy. I was at work at the time must be the anaesthetic gas getting to me.

Info is going to start rolling in soon, people are starting to come back from Nurenberg.

I wonder if they have made the wheels the same fitting as either AE or Losi? It would make the transition to Kyosho alot less painful if you could keep all your wheels and tyres.

[Nick Goodall]

If they're not the same fitment i'm sure someone will develop a simple way of making them fit, just depends on the offset of the standard Wheels i guess but it doesn't look like it'll be that different from what I can see.

[jim76]

it uses the same hex drive as the zx5 wheels by the looks of the picture. but there is a pin behind the hex, so depending on offsets it may be possible.
i have about 2 carrier bags full of zx5 wheels though so i don't care!

knowing Kyosho and looking at the pictures of it, I would say due to the rear wish bones the same as ZX5 that they would be the same as ZX5 wheels.

[Scouser]

Yeah I guess that will be the case but it would be nice if there was only one or two wheel fittings in the world of 1:10 electrics wouldn't it. In 1:8 scale you have 14mm or 17mm hexes used (pretty much) across the board. If the same where true in 1:10 then there would be no negatives in owning an AE 2wd and whatever you wanted in 4wd as there would still be compatibility with the wheels. Perfect world syndrome I know but it does make sense.
