New Kyosho RTR Boat

[silvermansteve]

there's a new kyosho 35 inch mono with an outrunner motor,80 a esc, fiberglass hull, and a flood chamber. sorry if there are several posts about this already, like last time i posted on a new boat. anyway, you can see it on the kyosho america website.

Looks cool, but very pricey at $700!!!

Reminds me of the KOS mono................

You are right! The Rudder bracket and the stinger all point to KOS P1. The only different thing is it has a flood chamber. The trim tab is a dead give-a-way. By the way, Kyosho's Japanese site has a cat: http://www.kyosho.com/jpn/products/r...duct_id=107953 that is sold by Hobbypartz: http://www.nitrorcx.com/99b-10117-650-ep-artr.html. All point to Chinese Dragon model.
Kyosho is so over priced and people are complaining about Atomic's new cat. very soon Chinese products will be rebranded with major Japanese name and sold with higher prices.
Also worth noting is that Lenny and few others here @ OSE Forum had beaten Kyosho with an off-set rudder configuration already, so I guess the kyosho will handle better than the P1.

Looks nice but it does look like the same hull as the p1 kos. If that's the case it's not worth $700

If someone would make a nice 27" - 31" production rollover boat for even a somewhat reasonable price I think it would sell really well. Might as well buy the synchron at that price.
