Any News on MA-03 AWD?

Been a while since MA-03F been out. I'm looking to buy an old stock brushed 2.4 ASF MA-020 as my VE throttle start point is just too high for casual small space fun, even with the ECO motor.

Don't want to drop the funds on an MA-020 if the MA-03 AWD is around the corner.

Looks like I can almost convert one to AWD but I'll probably need a new driveshaft Kyosho has yet to release.

I'm sure Kyosho is playing it smart and waiting till MA-020 stock gets low...

Must be some news though?

Kyosho has confirmed the 03F is nothing more than an AWD minus some parts (Kyosho Taiwan on faceballs). They may indeed be simply waiting for the supply chain to dwindle, meaning they must have a large inventory of MA-020 to burn through.

I think you've mentioned this before and I tried finding the source. Just tried again with no luck. Can you elaborate? What did they say?

November 16, 2017 post, Mini-Z Info faceballs page, not Kyosho Taiwan.

Gtg Masters Based on the diagrams provided in the documents it looks like this chassis is designed to accommodate 4WD as well. There appears to be a shaft tunnel in the center and a bearing slot at the rear end. Will this chassis configuration replace the current MA-020?

Mini-Z Info Oh, it's already been found 😄
There are a couple other similar posts floating out there on faceballs.
