This is the reason I ditched Kyosho - massively overcomplicated selling structure. If the car was designed correctly first time round there would be no need for constant expensive revisions.
Col - usually I agree with you, but you are a bit off with the 'development' crack, as the other posters have mentioned. It's a bit like saying Ford have it wrong by producing more and more improved Mondeo's year on year. (no Ford jokes please ) In addition K do us a service by offering upgrade packs, instead of forcing us to buy a new car.

I do very much agree upgrading from zx5 to FS2 will be very costly, hardly worth it even if the donor zx came for free.

I do still have an original zx-5 and now an FS2, new out of the box. Both are superb builds, not one thing missing, a few extras thrown in (may be a mistake) and no need anywhere for a dremel, hobby knife or file except where the manual indicates - and it drives superb, particularly for the less talented drivers like me.

I do think the differences from ZX5 or -5 SP to FS are immense, they are very different animals, but from FS to FS2 are minimal (unless driven by the very top drivers I believe)
