For some reason all I hear rattling inside this immensely small brain of mine is that awesome INXS song from back in 88, “Devil Inside”. Well now that I have totally dated myself let’s get down to business! Looks like everyone and their lost cousins missing dogs uncle is getting in on the Rally Car trend. Kyosho will be releasing [...]
The crew over at Kyosho have just announced a brand new pit mat for all you K-crew fans. The new Kyosho pit mat is large at 2 feet by 4 feet yet rolls up for easy storage. The mat comes in blazing Kyosho red and street price is $30. Hit up THIS link for complete information. Looking for more Kyosho news [...]
Well to say that I was excited to see that Kyosho was bringing out a Mini-Z Motorcycle would be a major understatement. Then you toss on the layer of details that Mini-Z is known for and that it was going to be a replica of the Yamaha M1 and I pretty much had to buy a bib cuz I was non-stop [...]
The Kyosho DBX VE 2.0 Review In my last review I mentioned that I didn’t mind handing over my R/C cars to just about anyone. This time, it wasn’t because I was worried about the car. I just plain forgot to offer because I was having too much fun with it? So what is a 1:10th scale buggy with 1:8th scale [...]
Just saw the press release on the Kyosho Sand Master. Talk about amazing timing. All the rage right now is scale buggy’s, and Kyosho shows up with one that’s supposed to be shipping this month. It will be available as a RTR (Ready Set) or as a EZ Build kit, where you need to add your own radio system and [...]
The Kyosho Mini-Z Moto Racer bikes finally came out last week and I eagerly picked up 4 of them to add to the Chicago Mini R/C fleet. What you get inside the box is the new KT-19 transmitter, the motorcycle itself (assembled and ready to run), a USB charger (mini-USB on the charger, standard USB on the power side), a 120mah [...]
Kyosho is in the rumor mill with the next Mini-z Moto to be the Team Desmosedici GP11 #46 Ducati. The photo is representative of what we can EXPECT the bike to look like but is not a photo of the actual bike. Until then, enjoy some more photos Kyosho released of the first Yamaha bike.
The review of the Kyosho DBX VE 2.0 buggy has begun but until it’s done, this unboxing should hold you over. I know it isn’t a short course but on paper, the closest thing I want to compare this to on “features for the price” is the Traxxas Slash 4×4. Given that, at $369.99 street it appears it’ll be a [...]
I’d be lying to you if I didn’t admit to being psyched about the release of the Kyosho Mini-z Moto. The perfect storm is about to hit this upcoming weekend. We have Mini-z racing scheduled both Saturday AND Sunday in the Chicago land area and are expecting motorcycles in hobby shops the end of this week . The Chicago Mini [...]
Kyosho’s Mini-z lineup. Showing off some of the AutoScale Collection bodies including the newest releases, the limited run Alice Motors EVO, and the new Porsche906 bodies. The new F1 cars are there and the much anticipated Mini-Z Moto (shipped from the warehouse yesterday and in stores next week). We also see the new Yellow Limited Edition MR-03 (arrived in stores [...]
Pro-Line releases more BullDog 2012 bodies! The Team Associated RC8.2E, RC8T, and Kyosho MP9 get released from the pound. A steeper front windshield to create more down force for the front wheels, increased high-speed stability by raising the roof ridges, and changes to the rear of the roof and addition of fins to create a more stable air flow over the [...]
PN Racing has announced they will be releasing a Mini-z Monster sized wheel for the Mini-Z Buggy that requires no adapter. There will also be a new tire and insert. It will be compatible with the original Mini-Z Monster truck tires. I’m digging the thought of a Mini-Z sized Stampede 4×4. I’m not sure how I’ll mount the bodies so [...]
All parts made in Japan, this is a high quality kit for all you 8th scale nitro buggy racers. Release is late April 2012, The TKI 3 version of this Inferno MP9. I’ll save you the paragraph from Kyosho on just how much the Infernos have been winning New TKI 3 FeaturesHD Universals – New 3.5mm thick swing shafts, much stronger [...]
A video of the new Kyosho Sandmaster buggy has been released. Perhaps the Euro vibe makes a little more sense across the pond. The most exciting thing to me is this was accompanied by an announcement that it will be released as a RTR as well as “EZ-Build” . The “EZ-Build” is being pushed as a kit that a father and son can assemble [...]
Sometimes people think I’m crazy but I just don’t mind handing over many of my R/C cars to just about anyone. The beauty of this car alone made most people shy away. It wasn’t until I told them it was a review car for Big Squid that they’d take the wheel. Assuring them not to worry if it broke (as [...]
