  Was juct chatting with dgs73 about this (until my phone died) …. Nice but I reckon there’s some serious design flaws in that layout…..
  
  Possibly an early prototype?
  
  The French Kyosho Website Forusm hve some pretty big threads on it.

  TD; look for the big red text over the pic… worldwide release date of Dec. 1st. Dave; wait till more than just the one body is available (other than the obvious MR-01/MR-015 shells…).So far only R34 GTR in white and Millenium Jade (it””””ll matchmy NuR Bit Char-G soooo well…)Aaron; any way we could share (ie. post up)the added info I sent you this morning? I still cant post pics/attachments…

  Does anybody know a price for these 4wd beasts? The front steering knuckles and dog bones look a lot like the first gen xmod set up. I hope it is a lot stronger. I am not really all that interested in the xmod evolution series cars. They realy look cheap. very toyish looking. But if there were alloy parts then they might look better. But we all know how expensive that would be, the new design looks like it has alot of small parts to it. an xmod will never ever ever compare to a mini z.

  Im thinking yes because of the narrow wheels that come on the car in the picture
  but who’s to say… it would be like changing from 01 narrow to wide in any case…
  Your guess would be as good as yours or anybody else’s…
  I would say dont speculate as to not look stupid, nobody knows the end result but Kyosho or some other 3rd party that has been payed to keep quite…

  this is getting dificult the xmod is looking nice aswell ARRR
  
  i think it comes down to cost if i can get a Xmod with tyres kit,suspention kit and a few other bits for the cost of a AWD Z i think i might do that but wtill 200 bux is quite cheap get me a IW body for it and were off
