If these cars have changeable gear ratios and motors like larger scale cars, they would take this scale to the next level. I am keeping my fingers crossed and also hoping for US availability soon. Hopefully, Kyosho has used its expertise to create some progress in smaller scale RC.
Or you could spend $50 and get an epoch. Not FM but with a car this small, how far away will you be when running?! I've never had a glitch on my epoch Thats not to say there aren't other improvements besides being FM, but the price difference is pretty immense.
Boy if they can charge 200 for that I dont feel so guilty charing so much for my AWD chassis kits anymore. Hmm... I wonder how many volts/amps the electronics can handle...
who would pay $200 for that little thing? With an extra $100 you can buy Nitro Rc (Gas Powered).
I still hear this about MiniZs !
Any small scale is cool with me, as long as they perform. Just means more room to build a track to me. Real estate is expensive over in Japan... doesn't surprise me they're going to try to go smaller.
Looks like a large egg in his hand in the one pic, hope they pick cooler bodies for them. (still waiting for true muscle cars Kyosho !)

Agreed, I'm not of fan of those bodies. I guess you're either a mini type fan or not.
Hopefully the electronics will handle higher voltage that the epoch boards... but then again they'll be more expensive than the epoch boards. The fact that you can get an epoch board that has ESC/RX and the encoder for the servo motor all built in and is only $9 is stellar despite its shortcomings. Not even IWaver got it all right for $30. I guess no one has yet since even the mini-z boards require fet stacking or turbos for most people or for true motor flexibility.
if they are anythign like full size mini-z in performance they will be great! i don't see them selling well at the suggested retail price though. it's hard enough getting people to buy a mini-z over an iwaver/xmod much less this over an epoch
