Kyosho Half8 Video

If the buggies in the video are running in stock, out-of-the-box trim, then I think it's one sweet little ride. I have a Mini-T and we all know they had terrible suspension and power right out of the box. But if the Half8's run that good on day 1, then I think it will be a winner. It seems to handle pretty good for a small car. Hopefully there will be some reviews soon enough to give us an idea.

I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...I want...
did I mention I want one

Hey Plaid, don't deny it, you know you want one......

in the video, one is completely stock, and the other has the optional oil filled shocks.

Hm..they both seemed to handle pretty well. That's a good sign. I'll have to wait and see when they come out. Did I hear they are running a standard 540 sized motor? I'm interested in the ESC specs then (motor limits, voltage limits) to see how much they can be hopped up with stock electronics. A couple more weeks should really reveal a lot...

I would get one but drop in a Mamba brushless and let the tiny thing rip!!!

well since I'm getting one, I've looked into some of the specs on it. the esc will handle at least 9.6v and it runs a 380 motor. the mamba will bolt right in, but unless you get the 4200kv system, you will need to run about an 11T pinion.

I want one, but I think $250 is a bit steep, especially when you're going to have to upgrade the shocks.

woa... i have to get one of those....









no you dont understand... i really need to get one of those.

I now know how it feels to want and not get.......
are they offering a pro kit version as well?

I've read rumors of a kit version. but absolutly nothing has been substantiated about it. the RTR will hit the market first, with some really trick hopups following at the end of april. stuff like CNC'd shocktowers and carbon fiber pieces from the pics I've seen already. i WILL be getting one as soon as they are out. funds are waiting at the bank.

corrado your going to have to start a new thread just so your garaged sig fits LOL

heh, i like my toys, what can i say. ill also be adding a Clodbuster for my son in june, he'll be getting it for his birthday (5)

you must have a nice wife, mine made me sell off 3 cars,6 motors, almost all my spare radio stuff, my planes and helis, basically everything but my mbx5prospec and my mrx4

when i say "what wife" all is explained.

Ahhhh, if i said what wife, id probably be saying what mbx5 and mrx as well

Well I'll let you all work out the bugs and then I'll ask for one for Christmas.
