Kyosho Truggy - 01-17-2006, 05:03 PM

I see that Kyosho will have a truggy out in March. Why haven't we seen one already at LH?

Shipments got pushed back. They put the truck back on the drawing board after the originals were shipped with plastic spurs (yup you read that right). My guess would be that sometime late spring/early summer 2 kits will be available.


If only I were a millionare.

That is why Sonny O is still running the LSP. I was talking to a guy at Al's... the truggy will be about $40 more than the 777 SP2 roller... putting it well into the $700 range. It is however supposed to destroy the current leaders, the LSP and Jammin Truggies. I plan on possibly picking up an LSP when people switch over to the Kyosho truggy.... (Unless I have to tie up too much cash in the revo.)

I believe it when i see it.... (the destroying the comptetion thing) The crt was supposed to be the best AMT, But i still feel the lsp can hang with it and even beat it.

I think the hellfire will be a great AMT

Why isn't Sonny testing a prototype? I thought he was on the team.

That's what surprised me... Unless they have others testing it and he just wanted to do his thing with the LSP until the Jyosho one was out... That still doesn't make much sense though.

Just cuz he has a full ride with 1/8 scale doesnt mean he cant run another brand AMT. Since hes new to the team maybe they already have other team members doing the testing. ( Im speculating on all this) Hey LOCO where you at to answer some Q's?????

Sonny doesnt have a full ride,50%. The K-ruggy is still being tested and redone because of the spurgear on the RTR. It was stated to be released in kit form in march sometime. We shall see. If its not ready and they dont offer the class in the model line-up, you can run whatever.....until it is released to the line-up.

Yeah... he has a 50% ride only. When the Kyosho Truggy comes out he WILL be running it. He is only running the LSP for now because it isn't out yet. I know a couple of other drivers are doing the same thing. That is why I am hoping to get a used LSP when the Kyosho comes out...

I was talking to him at the track about it as well as someone at the shop who has been following it closely. I never claimed to be IN TOUCH... I was just being social...
