Kyosho MFR video

[Self Medicated]

There is a pretty nice video of the MFR on YouTube:

And for a price of $369.99, I think I just found my reason to get another nitro truck.

You're right, that is a decent vid. The MFR shows it's Kyosho breeding really well, and the video does a good job of conveying that.

it actualy looks pretty beefy, in a conviluted sorta way im kinda glad to see a competitor take on the t-maxx, hopefuly a few aftermarket companys will make MFR exclusive parts like those that exist for the maxx

[Kemo]

RPM has already stated they wont make any kyosho parts for as long as their company is in business, so we can count them out unfortunately!

You might see some oddball companies manufacturing parts, but it'll all depend on how much of a reputation that the mag writers give the truck. Kyosho will have to assign a few drivers to race the truck to get the name out there too to help raise the support and popularity of the truck.

sorry this thing looks cheap like almost all of k-factories "budget" or "RTR" cars...would be fun to do a e conversion on it...only prob is kyosho discontinues so many cars how long will this be out? before it disappears

[RCB4MAXXMAN]

it reminds me alot of something traxxas would make. this should be a decent truck. kyosho makes some good products.

[GTRice]

Kyosho should of stuff a big block engine in it. Then again, it would have ridiculous torq. But the MFR is similar to the DSX, same chassis designs.

[Kemo]

Kyosho never was very successful attracting the bashing audience... Hence why all their vehicles do get discontinued so often.

Kinda hopin that Losi jr would be the grand solution to that.

i think it looks good, as i think of most kyosho models,
if i had the money id pick one of those things up in a second,

[Kemo]

They just need to have Gil endorse it and promote the heck outta it.

I watch that video almost religiously. I'm thinking about what Nitro MT to get and that vid is like someone slapping me in the back of the head saying, "MFR you ____!!"

I still worry about some of the 'thinness' of the tie rods and universals.
