info from that site gets reported to many other sites as well, where it should always be credited as well. that doesn't always happen but i expect those of us here to do so.
it's a shame they pulled the plug on the english version of the site. google translations are not always fruitful.

that price is impossible. dealer cost is higher than that. maybe that is the deposit required. street price is probably around the 330 mark.

incidentally i was in singapore for a couple of days… and was lucky enough to experience the mr03ve… hope to do a review based on my experience soon...

all i can say for the moment is that it is really smooth and quite responsive (almost to a fault) either that or my driving is really rusty… and it does pack a lot of power / torque... really fun to drive

probably another surprising thing for everybody is its price (if I remember it right) 250-260 singapore $ (approx 205-212 us$)

more soon…

translated to u.s. market, i'm sure it's going to be anywhere from $20-70 higher. we know it won't be the same simply because kyo usa has shipping costs and so will the retailers. for the VE, i'm sure your going to see a lot of people buying over sea's as shipping from over sea's will still liekly be cheaper than purchasing from u.s. market. NO WARRANTY on kits bought over sea's though unless you send it all the way back. just want to remind everyone. kyo usa will only warranty those bought in the n.american market.

Just my thoughts. If it's all coming from Japan in the first place and Kyosho America is a Kyosho company, then what would be the difference? I'm seeing some anomalies in dealer pricing (website different then salesperson) that I'm waiting to hear back on. If the the lower price is accurate then this will all make sense and we'll be in for a happy surprise. If not, then it's almost as if Kyosho America is buying at Japanese retail and then having to mark it up for a profit.

simple cost to do business. it cost's kyo usa more to get good here than it does kyo jpn to get good to their region. kyo usa isn't going to eat that but pass it along to north american market retailers.

i would love for this to be cheaper than anticipated. hoping this is the case but not expecting it to be.

I understand that much. But if a Japanese RETAILER can get me the item (shipped EMS express BTW) for less than a U.S.A. WHOLESALER can to a Kyosho dealer, there is a problem.

Kyosho USA's "cost" should be (Japanese wholesale price + Yen to dollar conversion anomalies) + cost of shipping container.

it would be interesting to learn how their pricing scales work but i doubt they would divulge that information. if you saw their MSPR listings you would laugh. it is comical what they suggest is an appropriate retail price for most items.

lets not forget that kyosho has always had a very tenuous relationship with u.s. retailers to begin with, going back to the GP days. it's not surprising that many shops simply do not want to carry kyosho much less mini-z. especially when they sell directly and at times undercut the retailers. that tends to ruffle feathers and leave bad feelings.
