Umm, i'm not but my brother is. He got a HPI MT. He's alway on the HPI forum and he's learn a whole lot. Sorry, i don't know a Kyosho forums, but i'm pretty sure they are not hard to find.

My cousin has a Kyosho and it breaks down like nothing else. He's probably already spent $500 in repairs, and he never gets to take it out because of that.

Suggestion:
If you have any problems just go the your Local Hobbie Shop and the should help you out.
Buy Blue Thunder nirto instead of Trinity. I've heard alot of bad experience w/ Trinity.
Remember not to go full trotle during your engine break in period.

There are lot of sweet vids at www.trilordy.com

So why race 1:8 scale when you can race 1:1 scale?

I guess it's a wee bit safer not to mention less expensive...
